Just wanted to day.
Past two days, did a lot of posting and did it with Opera, Mozilla, even IE and had no troubles.
A good sign. Sometimes you gotta report good things.
Here is a revision on Pete's list. I don't know why he hasn't chimed in, but its considerably shorter than last months. I'm leaving off items he said were resolved and adding my own items:
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. SEP note. There seems to be a lot of data lost in backlogged response center calls. My 2002 stuff looks like a foreign language. I use that content for itrc and internal use and it needs to be cleaned up.
2) 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. SEP endorses this concept. Yeah!
3) 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.
4) Could we possibly have a real, functional search engine? Please?? SEP note. Bill Hassell explained to me at HP-World why the search engine doesn't work. Just wondering why we can't have our own that does work for ITRC?
5) Other forms of URLs need to be recognized (https, ftp) as the http ones
are.
6) Allow for formatted text that does not lose spaces, so script snippets can
be understood.
7) 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).
8) From Merijn: The ability to have a fixed signature in one's profile.
9) A new hat for the 50,000 point level. SEP note. Not an ugly hat please.
10) No bunny's without point assignment, re closing a thread clicking solved. If the user clicks solved and no bunnies are assigned, dump them back to the point assignment screen. I don't need em, but the up and coming crowd deserves "payment" for their work.
Apologies to Pete if I stole his thunder.
I find I look forward to his monthly post for the entertainment value.
Nice job fixinig the posting problem (I hope).
