Dan/Cheryl,
My monthly attempt to summarize the most grievous, most oft-repeated issues
1) Recover the content lost during the 9/20/03 conversion/update - there are
numerous threads which suffered partial content loss, Merijn's statistics
postings being a prime example. Other examples point out that the benefit of
the ITRC database as a resource has been severely compromised. An excellent
dialog on wiping disks via various commands has now been rendered non-sensical
because much of it has been lost.
*Has something been done to fix this? I searched out the disk-wiping thread
(
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x24b53a7b3682d611abdb0090277a778c,00.html )
*and discovered that it seems to read OK now. By the same token, checking a
*couple of my old congratulatory posts shows that parts are still missing???
2) a. FIXED - thanks. Allow a thread to be closed without it being moved to the
top of the
list.
...b. No points - no bunny
...c. (my personal opinion) Is the close facility really necessary?
3) Create a new category under HP-UX for congratulations, humor and other
miscellaneous off-topic threads so that those who don't wish to view these
items can bypass them.
4) 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.
5) Could we possibly have a real, functional search engine? Please??
6) FIXED - Thanks. Other forms of URLs need to be recognized (https, ftp)
as the http ones are.
7) Supposedly fixed but I don't see it!
Allow for formatted text that does not lose spaces, so script snippets can
be understood.
8) 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).
9) From Merijn: The ability to have a fixed signature in one's profile.
10) FIXED - Thanks! A new hat for the 50,000 point level.
11) 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.
