Please Post Forums Issues - September 2004!

[Steven E. Protter]

To All my Dear Forums friends,

The 10 days of repentence are once again upon me. My new year beings in an hour.

In that spirit I thank all of you for the good times and ask forgiveness for any wrongs that I've done to you:

Whether I've given a bad answer, own shown a lack of patience or even skipped questions I should have helped on, please forgive me.

I hope to do better and improve in the year ahead. I wish all you you great things ahead and will spend some of the next days praying for peace.

G'day see you all in a few days.

Steven

Dan,

Isn't it possible to place a clock on this page? Since all the postings are in GMT and I'm not that fast in calculating times to my local timezone, this could help a lot.

Thanx in advance, MB.

Antonio, it's because that thread included a very long URL (it happened to be in a reply you made). These don't get wrapped (I think so they can be clicked on), so the page gets formatted to the width of the URL.

Pfwooh,

I KNEW this thread HAD to exist, but it sure ain't easy to find!
It really should by in the "ITRC related" forum!

But, my reason to be here is to repeat a request by Willem

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=671844

Except for in the Window forum, it found NO category about Itanium-related questions.
(I only looked through the index, but if it is not in there, it effectively does not exist).

Some weeks ago it looked like it was accepted as a good idea to have a category "Itanium" (or IA64, or EPIC), in the VMS, and in the HP-UX forums. Maybe in Tru64 as well. Intention: anything dealing with migrating to, setting up, differences, whatever relates to the issues of that forum that relate to IA64-specials.

I really think it is a good idea, and would like to bring it up again.

Hey Danno,

I just ran into a slight annoyance with the thread closing feature. When I initially read the thread and decided to respond it was UNlocked (open, available, whatever). I started typing my reply, hit submit, and got a "Thread Closed" error. Apparently sometime between when I started typing, and hit submit (may 2 or 3 minutes as it was a fairly lengthy reply) the author closed the thread.

Is there any way to do any checking when closing the thread to see if someone is in the middle of typing a response or has the reply area open for the thread? I think the author would have been interested in what I had to say, if I could have gotten the reply in.

[Kimberly Ann]

Hi Jan, does this work for you: http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/categoryhome.do?categoryId=275 We can create other Itanium areas if needed.

Patrick, probably the best approach is simply to allow replies after the thread is closed...I've got that on the list of things to get done.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

Has been having lots of problem opening the posts and also replying the posts. It has improved in the last few minutes. I noted the problem around 12:21 EST on 09/17/2004.

Thanks for all the good work you and your team had been doing.

Regards
Sanjay

Dan,
Willem, Jan and me are pleased for a forum about porting of vms from alpha to Itanium no for Itanium Server Hardware.

Hi Dan,

The enhancements to the forum are great, but is there any word on the request for older threads not to bubble up to the top of the aquarium when they are closed? It confuses little guppy fish like me who excitedly swim to the top of the tank expecting new threads, only to find the dried out carcasses of old, closed ones. :)

Patrick,

I am pretty certain, that this impossible much like an update on a record that is just deleted before. How do you want to find out if the window with the input has not just been closed since there is no open connection.

my condolences,

Michael

[Patrick Wallek]

Michael,

Beats me how they accomplish it. Perhaps a check to see if a request has been made to the reply url for a thread within the last xxx minutes or something.

I'm just the feature requestor, not the developer. I'm sure the folks at HP can figure something out. :)

[Gary Cantwell]

Antonio,

Cleaned the url in the thread you linked,

Cheers,

Gary

Hi Dan,

Something weird this morning, I tried to answer to various threads (which are still open). One is below the other one is this thread :-)

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=698892

After pushing the reply button, entering the text and pushing the submit button, it shows the message â THREAD CLOSED!â

I had to logout from the ITRC, clear my cookies and login again before I could answer to any thread (like this one)

Kind regards,
Robe

Hi Dan,

I am a bit confused re: how the bunny icon is currently assigned. Previously, >= 8 points assigned would display the bunny icon.

I do see there has been a change in this Forum policy, as Cheryl Griffin explained earlier (above):

BEGIN QUOTE:
Michael,
That is because under the latest enhancements the bunny signifies a resolved issue rather than the assignment of points. The person seleted the checkbox for "I have found a solution to this question as seen in the comments below."
END QUOTE.

Yet here is a link to a thread I authored. I assigned 10 points to one of Ron's replies. I have not closed the thread. A bunny IS displayed.

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=698493

If this new bunny policy is explained in the FAQs, I must have missed it:

Thanks for any info.

:-) Jay

[Pete Randall]

Jay,

The >= 8 points rule still applies. The new "feature" that Cheryl refers to is in addition to the traditional method.

[Steven E. Protter]

Right now, i can post in ie 6 and i can't post in the latest version of opera.

I know, opera is not supported, but is there any reason why sometimes i can post with it and sometimes i can't?

According to me, FIFA 2004 on Windows can not be considered as an HP-UX problem :)
