Yes, you should do what's inside of the brackets first. since it's just a single 3 let, the brackets can be ignored as they have no other functionality. since division and multiplying are of the same level (thus equals of each other), you just work from right to left as you meet the terms this means: 6 / 2 (3) 6 / 2 * 3 3 * 3 9

I'm not asking what it could be, or what you should follow. I'm just asking what YOU would answer without any help or whatsoever. @Dominion. If you use a calculator where you can enter the whole equation in one block, you'll notice it being something different ;)   Oh and just so you all know, there is only one correct answer!

Could be, I've also heared things of PEDMAS and something with *IDMAS, but I don't know what all of these terms mean, I've not learned such word to remember it, I just do it the natural way. I'm just curious to what people think. I don't need methods on how you did it unless you're giving the wrong answer ofcourse :P

Well this is one is going around facebook now, but I want to see what the result of MWG. You're welcome toe explain how you've come to your result, but you don't have too, I just want to see a widely used poll. Question is, how much is " 6 / 2 ( 1 + 2) " ? It's not that I do not know the answer, or anything, I'm just curious mainly. Apparently people learn simple things differently which could lead to confusion and well, just things going awfully wrong!

Was due to the server move

Just look at all the mccode games and maybe the best example of that style of game, torncity. It are all text based games which have hardly any graphics, no music, quests or missions are limited to nothing and a background story isn't found anywhere either. Yet some of these games are very successful. So it really depends on the type of game. COD just requires a totally different composition than a text based RPG.

Gameplay and community are probably the most important parts of a game. No proper community means you're all by yourself, which makes it boring and if there is no nice gameplay well then you're just playing a boring game ;) But the kind of game also plays a big role in this, a text-rpg or a stategic first person shooter ask for a different kind of feeling towards the player too.

Yes danny, they could select other :P and thank god for multiple choice polls! I use Visual studio for all .net related work, intelliJ for java related matters and komodo edit (free ide part) for others like php

also, for some issues it might be very helpful to us to upload a screenshot with it. It can be a huge description of a problem that just makes all our lives easier. More info for us, means it is also a lot easier to fix these issues!

What a relief :D

Introduction As everyone needs to create the code somehow, you can make use of various tools, frameworks, code generators and much more. One important "thing" during the development process will be an application of some sort. A good application will make your life a whole lot easier! This is why I'll try to explain some differences between an editor, an IDE and also why people should make the correct choice, as I believe many people do not always use the correct one. Both will come in as much flavors as you need! If you're just starting up, you might want to read this topic first ( http://makewebgames.io/content.php/126-Object-Oriented-Programming-the-way-to-go ) Editor An editor is a small, fast, lightweight application which only has the basic elements included. They are made to run fast, and do things more quickly as they only provide basic features like syntax highlighting. They won't come with features like debugging, error detecting and compiling of code. Basically you would just use them to edit a single file. We can consider notepad++ (and related ones) a good example of an editor. IDE An IDE or Integrated Development Environment is a much, much larger application and will require a lot more of your computer, however it gives everything back in more usable features or options. One of the best features an IDE has over an editor is the file management. How easy and handy can it be that you can change and see your directories and files from within the IDE? Overlooking a project never has been easier! Most IDEs will come with features that speed up your development process as everything can happen in the IDE itself, with this I mean debugging and compiling of code in the IDE itself and not having to build to code and find out, you still have an error. Most IDEs will also have some some sort of collaboration tools built in, so you can gather files much easier via svn or git. Some IDEs even come with a plugin system so the community can create additional features that do not exist yet. The downside of such an IDE is that they require a lot more of your computer, and that they are not always free whereas most editors are free. Do you have a combination of both? Yes, there are lightweight IDEs. One of them would be geany. But every feature or options means the application will become larger, and thus to create a smaller IDE, you'll have to loose something, so they will not be as extended as others. What to choose? First of all, know your environment! This is a very important factor that will, wanted or not, influence your choice a lot. Most editors will work on any platform and can use syntax highlighting on any code. An IDE might not be that flexible as they are designed for a certain task. If you are running windows and need to work on .net code, you most likely want another IDE than you would use for when working on a Linux OS to edit php code. Secondly, search an application you can work with and feel comfortable around. It has absolutely no point of working with something you cannot find your way around and loose more time as you should. If you do not with to use more as a simple text editor, then don't. As third, don't be scared! Some IDEs are not free but offer a trial mode or a community edition, try these out, you never know how you'll like it. And if the IDE makes your life a whole lot easier and your development process evolves a whole lot faster, do not be scared to ask your boss for some licenses, who know they'll be glad to pay! Should I still use an IDE? Yes you should! Even due to the many disadvantages on first sight over an editor, an IDE really makes your life wonderful as they are very flexible, yet heavy on the machine, expensive in some cases, and limited, it will definitely help you! I've listed a few free ones below I use myself, but you'll find a lot more out there.

Yeah, we all will. Wbb was received the very same way as this one right now. And given that the theme / layout isn't perfected yet and will change, the whole user experience will change and hopefully a lot of opinions :)

Nah, I'm not blaming you for that bertie, I only noticed it later as well as everything was just open for everyone. And I only noticed because dreamcoder made a post in a staff forum which isn't right. If he hadn't, who knows how long it would have been before we found out.

mysql_fetch_assoc() returns an array where each key is a field out of the database-query as you named them via your select query. You would have to use $result['NAME_OF_FIELD'] References: http://be2.php.net/mysql_fetch_assoc

main post updated

I just want to give everyone a head up on this matter. During the coming days, many boards might be moved, removed, or altered. Overall the impact should be rather small, since nothing major will change. Our motto for this is, less is more! Nonetheless, new things will arise as well in the hopes to give the community more quality yet again. I can't really say what will change exactly. but we want to change it in such a way, that the forum gets more usable for everyone. Boards that are unused, redundant, or just not in place may be deleted. Everything should stay in place though, so you shouldn't worry about finding your way again.

For all people that really need to get to their received private messages. If you download them, you should be able to see them all with content and such. This was said to me on IRC by Equinox, thanks for that.

There was no vote, this came from upperhand, but all staff member have got their say. I can say however that many users were complaining on a daily basis that they did not like woltlab and that if we paid we could have taken vbulletin as well, so you could have seen that as a community voice (I know there were also people who liked wbb, like me). I know the move is rather sudden, I didn't expect it to go that quickly, but we should all benefit from it in the long run.

If you go to edit folder and click on empty folder (with the select sent items) it will empty them. Messages with no title/content that are listed will stay though. You'll have to delete these via the mass select option and then select delete.

default sorting option is now by last post, and no longer by thread title. If you happen to find any forum where it is displayed wrong. let us know!

Well, eeveryone should keep themselves to the license provided with the software, simple as that. But this is indeed paid software like dominion said, just like wbb was. And yet vbulletin should offer some greater advantages over wbb now that we are on a dedicated server.

Here you can find a list of issues we still have to fix so not everyone starts to post about them. We hope to get this list gone as soon as possible. If you find an issue that is not yet listed, please reply to this thread. (mods update list!) Thanks to Diesl!   Issue List: - my private message inbox is empty (even though I had messages there), it seems all inbox messages are made into notifications (sent messages show up fine). (Reported by Diesl) - Custom (wbb) bccodes will no longer work (Reported by staff) - Marketplace links are dead, since there is no marketplace anymore (Reported by staff) - Icons on index-page do not work properly: when all posts are read, it still shows that there are unread posts inside (Reported by Staff)   Fixed - Default sorting order - Signatues are enabled, might require that the users updates it though. - Message limit currently upped to 500. please download these or try to clean them in case the limit will be lowered again. - Private messaging can be turned on in your user settings in case it is still off. - New bbcodes are added daily.   Notes - You can download old received messages and view them fine, we'll do our best to fix the issue. New PMs are not affected. - Friends & contacts are NOT imported, you should resend all friends requests

Yeah there still are quite some issues everywhere around the forum, but that was bound to happen. We hope to fix most as soon as possible without you even noticing. Things like signatures will have to be fixed by the users though. Please post any issues here: http://makewebgames.io/showthread.php/39031-Current-Known-Issues

Yeah, I'm not convinced on the layouts as well ... I'd like to find a perfect one, as this one is quite good, but not good enough yet. If you happen to find one yourself, feel free to hit us up ;)

have you made a typo? You have used $mp in the first, and $np in the second part... make sure that those variables are correct. I assume you wanted to use {$mp['hPRICE']} instead of {$np['hPRICE']} ?
