Hi,

the probably longest thread in history has been closed in the Microsoft forum. Was that really Julie Fische or someone of you guys?

[Andrew Merritt_2]

Here's a very minor one that annoys me from time to time. The email message notifying of changes to a topic you've registered an interest in has a typo:
=======
Someone just posted a reply to the above question. There 26 in total to the question.
=======

(Missing 'are' before the '26'.)

I guess it may be due to an attempt to deal with 'is/are' depending on whether there's 1 or more replies, but if so it's not working. I'd rather see 'There are 1 in total' than have the verb omitted :-)

I should not have posted an email addy into that thread. Can someone please remove it?

Thanks.

Melvyn,

done (eventually)???

13 minutes is pretty fast where I come from.

Good job.

Now public: I'm going back to Israel today. I will be there until March 2.

I have a 12 hour layover in Frankfurt on the way back, March 2-3. Any itrc members there?

I may be emailed via my customer support form:

Hi guys,

I have a little annoying thing. I go to my personal profile and I am logged in as expected.I click on support and driver which points to:
http://welcome.hp.com/country/de/ger/support.html
From there I click on unix and alphaserver which points to:
http://europe.itrc.hp.com/?LANGUAGE_OPTION=german
This results in login not possible.

Why am I directed to Europe if I am logged in the othe location?

thanks,

Michael

Hi Cheryl and Dan,

This post doesn't seem to be a database post:

Hi Cheryl,

in addition to Pete's no. 4 (ahh - when we'll get it?) ;-)))

It should be possible to disable notification in a thread when the thread was closed (better - all notifications are deleted automatically?)

Now I have to go to my profile - notifications - find the thread - submit unchecked message.

Best wishes

When I use the "view" pull downs to get a subset of the forum messages and select messaegs with "zero replies", it includes moved messages.

Can we get the moved messages suprressed or at least have a seperate pull down for moved messages.

I'm generally looking to see if I can help someone who never got a response at all and the moved messages are "noise" that makes it a bit harder to find what I'm looking for.

[Florian Heigl (new acc)]

I stomped over that 0-reply thing too

this was a bit confusing at first sight, but is no huge issue.

Cheryl, Dan.

A weird one this time!

I have started a Congrats thread for à ge Rønning:
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=816073
and asked Merijn for his usual graph for it.

Merijn could NOT produce it!
After some debugging by Merijn it appears to have to do with the first letter in the name being diacritical, see:
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=804511

Now I DO know that Scandinavian à , pronounced like O, often called A-ring, can also be spelled Aa (double A), but THIS was HIS way to enter his name.
And I guess the problem will be broader, because several times I noticed people using Unicode personal names.
If those names are allowed as personal names (which I think they should), then they should also appear in the various retrieval functionalities...

Since the Congrat stream was my stream, and I like to have it is neat as possible, I hope this can be cured in a reasonable time to allow Merijn's magic to be added before it becomes time to close the thread.

Proost.

Have one on me.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Jan, fwiw, I cannot go back in time for ID's that have not been in the stats before. I dig in static data I saved in the past.

The debugging I did was checking my stats scripts against the current reality, and I didn't see any ID outside the 'a'..'z' range (folded downcase). So I won't be able to find any data on people that do not have their ID listed in the global member list. (Cheryl, Dan, see my Feb stat thread for more specifics), so all people that have a digit to start their name with or a diacritical, won't have stats in *my* system.

Cheryl, please mail me personal if anything changes, so I can alter the script(s).

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

[Jan van den Ende]

Merijn,

understood.

Too bad, but I have no aquaintance with Professor Barrabas, and neighter have you, I assume.

So, I will live with it.

Thanks for your efforts.
