Dan,
Glad to see both you and the Forums are alive and well again! It's tough when you're so dependent on technology and that technology decides to take a break.
Anyway, on to the new and revised monthly issues list:
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-s
ensical because much of it has been lost.
2) Remove the new message button from within a thread so it will no longer be confused with the reply button.
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) Show the poster's name in the reply window.
5) 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.
6) Could we possibly have a real, functional search engine? Please??
7) Other forms of URLs need to be recognized (https, ftp) as the http ones
are.
8) Allow for formatted text that does not lose spaces, so script snippets can
be understood.
9) 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).
10) From Merijn: The ability to have a fixed signature in one's profile.
