Better late than never!
Dan,
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.
2) Clarify more distinctly the meaning of the new message button 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.
