Please Report Forums Issues - February 2002!

[John Bolene]

I could read messages for the last 3 hours and get the reply window but could not actually reply. I would always get the 404.

Seems to be back working a few minutes ago.

I cannot reply or post new messages from either Opera (6.01 and 6.02) or Mozilla (0.9.8). I /can/ post from Netscape 4.79 or IE-6 but I realy loath the last.

Mozilla complains about too many redirections, Opera just keeps repeating the logon screen

I had got this error while loading the HP-UX page on the forum on the 26/02/2002:

Error processing SSI file '/cm/CategoryHomeContent/1,11869,LoggedIn!156,00.html'

I had kept trying for about 25 mins until the forum resume normal.

Also, I got an HTTP 404 error while replying this message before.

Regards,
Kenny.

but my name appeared on the left side and it seams to be o.k.
Maybe this is due to i have a login for EU and US/AP. Can i have not one user for both SYSTEMS?

Dan,

Still having posting problems. I reply to a question, submit & get a response acknowledgement thanking me for my first participation, then I go back to the forum & the reply is not there.

I have just used the back button on the browser to try to find the reply again, and when getting to the acknowledgement page the browser tells me the page has expired. I refreshed the page & I now get the normal acknowledgement message & the reply has been posted.

Hope this helps

Regards,

Hilary

I'm having an intermittant issue posting replies.
I am getting a connection time out only while sending the post using submit.
Honestly, I am not sure if it due to my network traffic or the forums, but this has only been occuring over the last couple of weeks. Anyone else with this problem?
Also, I have not paid close enough attention to see what time of day this is occuring, but I will, if it continues.
Thanks,
Kel

[Kelli Ward]

Oh also, I am having numerous http 404 errors when going to Category pages. (Also, over the last few weeks)
Thanks,
Kel

[Kimberly Ann]

Hi Kelli,

Thanks for your message. I was also experiencing problems posting replies, as were a few others I heard from. Not sure what is causing this issue -- it may be networking. I'm waiting to hear back from our support team for any news.

Thanks,
Dan

Unable to post a reply to

Very strange. I hit submit and then it just sat there thinking. It finally timed out but the time out was on the order of 15 minutes. I got tired of watching it and went off to do something else.

I tried it a few more times with the same results. Then copied my reply and kill my browser and started it up again. Same thing. Finally gave up went to supper and am able to reply to other posts. No point in replying to the first post since it's long been solved.

Dan,

Another strange one tonight. I was replying to a post in the "servers > 9000" forum just a few minutes ago and when I hit submit, it came up with the "As a first time poster....." dialogue. I got back to the posting list for that forum and my reply had not been posted. I hit the back button a couple of times to get back to my posting and resubmitted it and I got the normal "Thank you" page and the reply got posted.

This is not the first time that this has happened. It usually seems to happen after y'all encounter problems.

What the common thread is, I don't know.

[Michael Tully]

Hi Dan,

For about one hour today, (your yesterday)I could not reply to any messages at all, but I was able to load the posts and read them without any problem at all.

[harry d brown jr]

Dan,

I got the same thing that Patrick had - first time user. And I had the same access issues later like what Michael and Ron explained.

Thought this to be an Opera problem, but it looks like it is HP's

Subject: Scrollbars in 1047

Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 13:52:01 +0100
Newsgroups: opera.beta
To: opera.beta
User-Agent: Xnews/L5

If I open http://pxr.perl.org/source/INSTALL from a ducument, I get no
scrollbar on the right, and no address/URL on top. When I open a new document
(^N), and type this link, I get scrollbars and URL representation

Setting or bug?

Yes I can, and the stupid JavaScript is to blame: It just opens the page
without scrollbar and addressbar...

Stefan, not understandin what is so wrong with target="_blank"

This is not really a problem, but more of a suggestion. I was wondering if there is a way we can create ask users to begin to use the icon that is created for magical answer when they have received a satisfactory answer that solves their problem.

Second one is that we should also put an icon or some other mechanism together that says a user has closed out this thread and is no longer referring to the thread for any further postings, I believe that there are answers being posted to threads that never get back to the users since they feel that a previous answer may have already solved their problem. This may result in some valuable information for the user who posted the question but will never see it since they are not checking the thread again.

Just a few suggestions to possibly improve the process.

Thank you for your support. (a quote from bartles & james (not mine)).

Dan,

On the docs.hp.com, when I do a search, I'm getting this error:

[LBEN][Error #:770] Unable to get -117177 bytes from heap file otrunio.c line 1066Unable to proceed ... please remedy the error(s)

The string entered was "K-class performace K580"

Hi Dan,

How about having the forum return you to the exact area you enter the question from?
EG - if I enter from the HP-UX area & it's a sys admin question, it returns you to the sys admin section. Kind of a pain - you have to go back up to HP-UX.

Thanks,
Jeff

It's March 1. Time for a new post.

[Wodisch]

Hello all,

sorry for being late - the statistics of the (previous) month:

17635 exitsing forumers
_3269 active forumers
_3016 newbies
___79 pros
___80 graduates
___48 wizards
___38 royals
____5 pharaohs
____1 olympian

And the predictions are:
A.Clay will have to stop answering this very month to NOT get the "green salad" hat,
Alex will move to the sandy fields of pharaoh-hood within days,
Carlos and Volker will need another minute or two to get rid of their wizard hats,
Eugen, Dave, and Insu will have wizard hats pretty soon,
Kapil, Dries and T G might get their graduate hats,
and Bob D., and Chuck could don their Pro-caps.

To start something new, I have attached the whole list, enumerated and sorted by points...

Have a nice march,
Wodisc

[harry d brown jr]
