Sorry to post before Pete's issues list. Still a strong advocate on browser compatibility and signatures.

Dan/Cheryl,

My monthly attempt to summarize familiar, repeating issues

0) "System unavailable" This has gotten completely ridiculous. The Forums are basically unuseable this morning. I've been pounding away for an hour trying to get anywhere, with very little success. Are you guys trying to force me to get a life????

1) Repeat the bread crumb navigation links at the bottom of the
page so we don't have to page all the way up to the top of long
threads. Also, add the same links to the notification pages.
*** HP is working on this (tracked internally) ***

2) Could we possibly have a real, functional search engine?
Please??

3) Allow for formatted text that does not lose spaces, so script
snippets can be understood.
*** HP is working on this (tracked internally) ***

4) Provide the ability for a user to customize the forum subjects
they view by setting up their own groupings (like: all of HP-UX,
plus Servers (9000), plus Workstations (hp-ux based), plus all
of Storage - well, you get the idea).
*** HP is working on this (tracked internally) ***

5) From Merijn: The ability to have a fixed signature in one's
profile.

6) Is it possible to fix it so the "javascript.open" function works
the same in different browsers - in Netscape, firefox, Opera,
etc., the link opens in the same window.
*** HP is working on this (tracked internally) ***

7) Now that the new headgear situation has been addressed, I
think it's time to start asking for it to be addressed again.
There is really only room for two stars underneath the wreath.
What are you going to do once Clay hits 80,000 points? How
about a wreath of stars? You could probably fit 5 or six nice
gold stars in a wreath and set the value of each succeeding
star high enough that you should be able to have the system
ready for "y1m" (that's 1,000,000, I think). You could award
one star at a time or put the outline in place and color the
stars in as they are earned.
*** HP is working on this (tracked internally) ***

8) By popular demand (particularly SEP): Making standards
compliant browsers such as Firefox, Mozilla and Opera, supported.

That last just took 313 seconds to post!! I was sure I was going to get another System Unavailable, but it finally went through. How is someone supposed to actually utilize the Forums with response this poor?????

Pete Randall — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 07:44:53 GMT

I have to admit - as poor as the performance was an hour ago, it's positively zippy now!

My heartfelt thanks to whoever threw the "go fast" switch!

Sorry to contradict Pete, but it has been awful most of the day, and except for some 5 - 10 minutes time windows of great performance, it is still mostly, UNavailable, alternated by sluggish.

Proost.

Have one on me.

Hi:

I'm beginning to wonder if anyone in HP believes that there is a long-standing, on-going problem with response time.

Perception is reality.

No, there are a few of us that agree the performance is not good.

Hello Melvyn!

Thank you for your response and your candor. Clearly, your opinion is yours and not HP's ;-)

The question therefore, is why can't something be done?

Clearly, the problem is not confined to specific users, geography or time.

I have noted publicly and privately more times than I care to count that the issue appears to be indigenous to the Forums; not the ITRC at large; and not HP sites in general.

It seems nonsensical to continue to have an "Issues" thread when a large fraction of the ongoing issue is the same, unresolved, and unanswered.

And that's just *my* opinion!

Regards!

...JRF...

Ditto the System Unavailable replies, though what I posted did indeed get posted without a retry.

Hi Cheryl and Dan,

I know this is the wrong thread but it seems relevant here.

I think the forums performance right now is sparkling. Did you do something? It certainly seems to have worked.

I'm hopeful that it will continue.

Cheers
Gavin.

I know this isn't a "forums" issue - but I'm in Software Update Manager, and when I get to "request updates - confirm delivery address" - and click on submit, I get the dreaded:

The system is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

Myterious problem observed today around 8 hours back when everything was reporting to the status of 22 July 2005. All the threads, points accumulated for profiles were of that stage.

I got worried but the same got recovered in about 2-3 minutes. Is something critical going on?

Best Regards,
Devender

Dev,

This has happened before. For reasons not explained by HP you accessed the test database.

I echo 100% JRF's remarks concerning performance. As an HP customer we are heavy users of ITRC to support a hundreds of HP-9000 servers around the world.

We need this system up and fast. 24 by 6 at least.
