[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Andrew, read patrick wallek offers forums etiquette guideline at http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=140137 for what is generally accepted as guiding rules for congrat threads

I'm the collecting statistics on and about the forum. It's gotten way beyond my original intent, which was to see how I did myself. It's just that the `general public' liked it so much that I continued to this extent.

I don't start congrats myself, but I'll post the member's metric on posts I see, or on posts I am invited to in the forum sections I don't often visit myself.

The people that often start the congrats, do this either because they read the forum statistics in my monthly threads or because they saw a promotion happen and thought the promotee just deserved the post.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

To Procura;

First of all i really would like to thank to
you about your permanent montly forum statistics...
is it possible to get such a kind of statistic where shows total members&country and total country points?
it is only my interest...

Nice Greetings from Turkey,

[Andrew Merritt_2]

Thanks, Procura, just what I was looking for.

Hi Cheryl and Dan

what's happening with our answers?
Why are lines interrupted and new lines begin with a single character?
For example here:

The line break issue is under investigation.

[Denver Osborn]

Hi Cheryl! :)

Here's a strange one. Someone was able to post a reply to a thread I closed several months ago.

Something allowed them to post and I was notified via email. This is the thread.

[Pete Randall]

Denver,

That's actually a new (and requested) feature that allows for corrections and additions to "closed" posts. That way, important information can still get delivered but the (lack of) points assignment does not get counted agaist you. Out of curiosity, can you assign points to the new response?


Pete

[Denver Osborn]

thanks for the info, and nope. can't assign points to it. no pull down for points, just the header that says "Thread closed by author" for the latest response.

And could you also change the word "PRO" in the title to "GRADUATE"? That would make it more to-the-point.

Proost.

Have one on me.

[Michael Schulte zur Sur]

Hi,

yes, please change PRO to GRADUATE and delete my second posting then.
But I just placed it in HP-UX because most congrats threads are here.

Thanks,

Michael

[Cheryl Griffin]

Michael - I changed that for you.


Hi Denver - Definitely some forum changes around here. You can close a thread and now if someone replies it does not require you to come back and assign points since the issue was closed. (Hello to Eric too!)

[Andrew Merritt_2]

I don't like to get too picky (or jealous), but the etiquette link that Procura posted above does suggest that congratulations threads should be for Wizard and above, and recommends awarding 1 point per reply.

Andrew

[melvyn burnard]

And I think we should have a separate forum area for all these congrats threads,.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

I don't realy care *where* the congrats are, as long as I can get more than that silly '1' point for my posts. They take considerable time, and hide a lot of effort, and they get appreciated a lot.

Congrats to the team for the proven speedup!
(Now just make that more stable )

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

[Andrew Merritt_2]

Procura, obviously your postings in congratulations threads are an exception, and I wasn't aiming my comment at them, but it seems wrong to get 5 or even 3 points just for saying congratulations to someone (particularly when good answers to technical questions go unrewarded).

Andrew
