New Forums Features Released!!

[Kimberly Ann]

Hi Everyone,

I'm pleased to inform you that there are a number of new features released in the ITRC forums!

1. In your public forums profile, you will now find near the top of the page a link to all questions you have asked! At the bottom of the page, all of the replies you have made are listed (paginated, if needed).

2. To remove confusion, the "member since" date in your public profile indicates it is the date you joined the ITRC, not the date you began participating in the forums.

3. You can view your public profile if you click on "my profile" in the left navigation bar, click on "view or modify forums profile" and then click on the new link at top of page called "View your public profile."

4. If you reply to a message, you will now see the original message text in the reply box. In my opinion, this is a great addition to the functionality!

5. Upon submitting a reply, you now have more options to select (links) as to where to go in the forums.

6. If you post a new message, you will now see a new method of assigning points! Each reply will now have an easy pulldown menu and a single "submit" button at the bottom of the page. This allows assigning points to multiple replies fairly much faster and efficiently! And you will see more link options after submitting. YEAH!

7. When creating a new message, the "notify me" checkbox is now by default "on". Authors of new messages will now be notified of a reply to their message unless they deselect the notification checkbox.

I trust everyone will enjoy the new enhancements, I know I do. Thanks to everyone for your past feedback -- the above features are a direct result of your input.

Enjoy, and thanks!
Dan
Forums Manager

I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it would be nice if there was a link off our profile page that would show us the questions we've asked. It would sure help when you need to track down one that you haven't assigned points to.

Hi Dan:

Absolutely outstanding enhancements! What more can we say, other than "Thank you!".

Personally, I think great credit goes to you, too. You have diligently tracked and pushed for these and other enhancements throughout your tenure. My thanks to you and the developers for a long-awaited, very welcome update.

With warmest regards!

Good job, Dan (and the other Forums worker bees).

I especially like being able to see the question in the reply box.

[Pete Randall]

Sorry Dan,

I'm not quite sure how I managed to mis-read that one. Anyway, now all my wishes (almost) have been granted.

Thanks,
Pete

Hi All,

Regarding finding your public profile, there is one other way to do it:

1. Click on anyone's userid to get to their profile. For instance, the URL for Jim Ferguson is http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/UserProfile/1,,CA114842!1,00.html.
2. In the URL, change the ITRC userid to yours. Mine would be http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/UserProfile/1,,CA649974!1,00.html
3. Hit return!

Thought you'd like to know this little bit of info!

Thanks,
Dan

[S.K. Chan]

Thanks a million ! Now I can do not need to "cut&paste" the question in my reply box. I usually do that for long question just to make sure I do not miss anything out.

[Uday_S_Ankolekar]

Thanks for NEW-HP Forum!!!

Goodshow Dan and Team.

-Uday.

Number 2, does not seem to be working for me. My profile says member since May 08, 2002. That is the date I first enter the forums. I've been a member of ITRC for at least 6 years.

[John Bolene]

Oh, this is really sweet!!!!

The forums just got a whole lot easier to use.

Thanks

[Victor_5]

Sounds great, thanks for your great job. I like all the ideas, especially the forth one!

[Darrell Allen]

Nice!!!

I really like the his/her questions link and including the question in the reply window.

These enhancements address items we've been mentioning in the past. Thanks for being responsive to our needs (and wants).

Good job!
