That setting is turned on by default. You must have turned it off yourself.

Meaning append it as a query string.

Yeah, my dad works in the auto industry. He says that as a rough estimate, about 2/3 of the final price on a new car is taxes, VAT, etc. It's ridiculous. Many people cannot afford new, environment-friendly cars so they have to buy older cars. He sometimes says that we have the most expensive cars in the world. I don't know if it's just an exaggeration, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. Moreover, we have a flat 25% VAT on every single product that's for sale. I suppose that's the reason why we also earn more money, because I don't feel particularly richer than people in other western countries.

Yeah, it's quite likely that it's more expensive to live in Denmark. In 2007 Copenhagen was rated the sixth most expensive city to live in in the world (source) thus beating every single U.S. city. You can likely find a U.S. city that's more expensive to live in than a Danish city though. According to this list, Danes get 10 more paid holidays per year than in the U.S. as well. This document says that the average wage for a Danish privately employed worker was DKK 206 [uSD 38.48] per hour (DKK 183.41 [uSD 34.26] for women, DKK 216.74 [uSD 40.50] for men). Man... I brought this this way off-topic. Sorry about that, toxictoad. :-\

Use the line tool and select that it should have an arrowhead on either the start or end. Select that it should draw a path. Now edit the path using the pen tools and finally fill the path (or add a stroke to it if you'd rather have that).

Wow... $18.86/hr * 37hr/wk * 52wk = $36,286.64/yr Earning that you'll get to pay around 39% in taxes thus your gross income will be around $21,772/yr. This is not an unrealistic number and will in many cases be considered fairly low (depending on your job of course).

Unable to delete or edit my topics in PHP Help section

No, you're not missing anything. We do not delete content unless it somehow breaks rules. -
That question means you want a list of public holidays in various countries, which I supplied you with. The "preferably in an XML format" signifies that it'll be even better if the list is in XML format. You should've dropped the "preferably" if you only want XML lists. It's the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon. That means you can calculate it. It's like that for most (all?) other holidays.

Reinstatement of post based ranking system

That's configurable. You can have it show above the group title. -

That sounds like a really low wage. You'd probably earn at least twice that amount working at McDonald's flipping burgers where I live, and a work week here is only 37 hours per week. Edit: I read that GBP sign as USD, but it's still a low wage to me. You'd still earn more than £20k/yr at McD where I live though.

Reinstatement of post based ranking system
Daniel0 replied to Daniel0's topic in PHPFreaks.com Website Feedback
The following is from the topic in "staff cafe" with the discussion about whether we should actually do this or not stripped: That's the kind of theme I was thinking about actually. Something witty and funny. My imagination isn't so good though, so that's why I suggested that the regular users could suggest titles as well. I would really prefer if we used "bylines" rather than titles. 0-499 "You don't know me, but I rock" 500-1499 "Yeah, me again" 1500-2999 "I was gonna write a book..." 3000-4999 "I had to quit my job..." 5000+ "deleting my posts causes a rift in the space/time continuum" And we could have 'I lost my job because I post here' -
The "annoying Javascript alert" can be turned on/off, and you can set it to send you an email as well. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?action=pm;sa=settings

We are looking at bringing the post based ranks back in action again. The reason why they were removed in the first place was because they could be seen (and sometimes was actually seen) as skill indicators or as staff endorsements, which wasn't really the point. As I said, you can now have them back, so we need your help making up some good rank titles. Post your suggestions here and then we, the staff, will decide which ones that should be used, and for which post count intervals they should be used. Remember though, anything that may imply skill will be rejected (this rules out stuff like wizard, guru, master, genius, etc.) It seemed that a forum addiction theme was pretty popular among the staff, but I'm sure the staff members who already gave suggestions will post them here as well. You will have until next year, i.e. Jan 01, 2009, to post your suggestions in this topic. This topic will be closed sometime on that date.

Oh, it was. The list was just an FYI for those who might be wondering why it's a bad idea (at least my point was).

7) It indicates that you don't know what you are doing (to those who do know what they are doing).

According to his profile, 30.

You can of course suggest whatever you want, but I think that the chances of them implementing it will be rather slim. It's not really the intended function for a forum.

I find live chat an inferior type of helping. When it's not going on in real-time then you'll have time to research the problem. That's not as easy as when it's on a forum, mailing list, or similar thing. It's also easier to format things and insert large pieces of data such as code snippets. Besides, there is no reason why you cannot post chat transcripts from IRC now. The thing is just that people won't bother to to do that. They'll just move on once their issue has been resolved. HTTP is far from ideal for live chat purposes as well as it's stateless. Protocols such as IRC or Jabber are better for that purpose.
-
As far as I can tell, you are referring to a live chat, which I am saying we already have.
-
You can use a standalone client or the client already provided for using in a browser: Why reinvent something that already exists? IRC is a perfectly good enough protocol that's been tried and tested for many years.

Make the "Solved" button easier to spot?

Technically speaking it's a topic moderation action, so it's right where it should be. -
Right... take your flame war to PM, please.
