Hi Dan,
Kind of funny (and I don't know if it has been mentioned before), but some people do indeed seem to be able to give points to more answers than they actually got. Example :

P.S. Speed is back ... up to speed :-) Well done.

Can login again - and reply - and new.

also with Mozilla

[harry d brown jr]

Dan,

This isn't an issue, but a request.

How about the hats on the page (on the left - under "user status") being links to an explaination as to what they are, and the members that are wearing those hats. That way, if you wanted to know who the "wizards" are, you can just click on the hat? And how about a new category called congratulations? Also (damn I'm running on here) has there been any thought about changing the "point" assignments to be easier so that a questioneer can assign points to as many people at one time?

And may I also re-request a change in the default: have 'email notification: [v] Send email to me whenever someone replies' ticked by default. That way question-posters are probably earlier attended that they have to read answers to their posts, and probably asign points.

And may I also re-request a new tickable option to ask for an e-mail notification of being asigned points to an answer I gave, so I can read the follow-up. An advantage to this to the original porter (if he does asign points) is that the answerer will more likely return to the thread for even more info exchange.

Dan,
Instead of a problem, some praise.

I've noticed over the last few weeks that the worst of the slow performance problems seem to have gone away. It's not perfect but overall seems to consistently be much better than before.

No points necessary.

Hi

I do get notifications of postings when requested, but I rarely get the "New forum discussions" daily notification..

Have just recieved a couple since new year...

Is this a problem from ITRC or do our mail gateway swallow them?

And to procura; keep using Opera.. its Norwegian you know.

[Andreas D. Skjervold]

Hi again

Today the "New HP Discussions.." mail popped up. Hit the right switch Dan?, or was I just lucky to get one again.

Hi Dan,

Jeff made me thinking and now I have edited a bit my cartoon as well.

http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/UserProfile/1,,BR135148!1,00.html

I guess it is an undocumented cartoon....

Jasper, who like his new picture and is wondering if other pictures can be loaded

[Jasper Verweij]

hmmm, I already changed it to my magichat picture.

The undocumented cartoon is the following:

Got:

Error processing SSI file '/cm/QuestionAnswerContent/1,11870,LoggedIn!0xeeabba808b46d611abda0090277a778c!0!1!0!0!0,00.html'


Last night about 11:20PM EST

It's also been real hard to get on during 10-2 and slow the rest of the time.

Managed to kill your Search engine last night too. Said it wasn't available. Forgot to save the error message.

[Jasper Verweij]

ahh, I discovered why Wodisch profile (http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/UserProfile/1,,BR135148!1,00.html ) is a little bit corrupted.

I had the same, due to my addition of a HTML tag to get a clickthrough with my emailaddress.

Removing double quotes within my tag solved the problem for me!!!

Same problem here,

europe2 seemed to be down for a while. I just managed to get a forum login by manually going to http://europe-support.external.hp.com, did the login there and jumped back to the forum.

The cookie seems to be valid as well....

May be this can be done by a load-balancer ?

Hi Dan,

For the last half an hour I've been unable to post replies - getting message page not found.
Eventually after reading answers to this thread I went to the resource centre & accessed forums from there & have managed to reply.

Hilary

P.S. now getting thank you for your first participation, and no reply posted.
