Dan,
I can't assign points to the last three answers of question:

Hi Dan,
When I assign point, I must do twice or more. That is, the first time I assign take no effect at all.
What's the matter?

Thank you.

Hi Dan,

Still experiencing problems posting replies. This appears to be happening all of the time now.
I get the "Thankyou for your first participation" message, then have to hit, back/refresh/cut&paste/submit.

Regards,

Hilary

Second attempt to post...

Dan, I tried to post a JPG picture in http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x4beced6464a6d611abdb0090277a778c,00.html (though I'm not sure if Volker want you to read it yet), and I guess it got truncated again or some such (only 28k!). When I click the paperclip on "(javascript:openExternal('/cm/components/FileAttachment/0,,0xa4efed6464a6d611abdb0090277a778c,00.jpg)"

I get an internal error.

I notice in this URL a missing ending quote and ending parens. If it where written as "javascript:openExternal('/cm/components/FileAttachment/0,,0xa4efed6464a6d611abdb0090277a778c,00.jpg')" it might have worked

I'll test on this message

Hi Dan

Cheers

[Kelli Ward]

Thanks,

Dan,

System response is very sluggish this morning 8/7 08:45 CDT.
System problems or network bandwidth?

Rgds,
Jeff

I find the ITRC generally *very* slow today (less than half the speed I expect from the experiences in the past month).

With this speed I doubt the stats will finish before I leave for home

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

I'm experience the same problem as those above..
I haven't seen any errors though, just slow response time.

Later,
Bill

Hi

Same problem : extremely slow today

Other problem :

On this thread, I tried to send a zip file ( twice )

http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x41ef56bd90a9d611abdb0090277a778c,00.html

Original size was 307 k. Result was 256k.
-> Unreadable

The zip file contained two file ( .exe and .chm )

I've been sending bigger files in the past.
Also .exe

Anything's changed lately ?
.exe not accepted anymore ?
Size limit decreazed to 256k instead of 1 M ?

TIA

Fred

I might as well jump on the bandwagon: sssllllooooowwwwwww!!!!
It took me 90 seconds to open this thread and another 90 to get the reply window open. I can only assume that it will be another 90 to submit this. This has been happening since about 09:30 EDT (the last hour or so) and other sites are not exhibiting the same problems.

The ITRC site is very slow today - I am reminded of HAL singing "daisy"...

[benoit Bruckert]

A post with a user ????? disaperead, (about oratcl), I gave an answer to this thread, and in my profile you can find a strange link to this post on my profile :
cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x99ee56bd90a9d611abdb0090277a778c,00.html

Very funny !!!!!

It's also very slow today !!

[Rita C Workman]

I thought it was me....but slow - slow - slow today.

I have logged into my Datek account, and a few others and response is good....but once I hit the Forums, it's strictly point, click, and sit back and wait...

Rgrds,
Rita

Hi Dan,

Perfomance has took a nosedive today, all other sites are ok.
Also when trying to use the search engine it started ok but when trying new searches, it couldnt find a thing.

Cheers

[Martin Johnson]

Definately experiencing response time problems. Up two minutes to open a thread. Stop/refresh does not help.

Hi,

Experiencing slow response lately. I was totally unable to access the sites today early morning and yesterday night!

Hi Dan:

* sign-up for a special event for forums members at hp world 2002!

This appears to be a broken link (404 error).

[Frederic Zeller]

Hi Dan,

the speed problem is gone, but I'm afraid the attachement problem is still here :

On this thread, I couldn't read the attached pdf :

http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x7df156bd90a9d611abdb0090277a778c,00.html


It seems like a problem for the latest "non text" attachment ?

Fred

[Kimberly Ann]

Hi All,

It appears some gremlins were causing the entire ITRC to crawl. Things are back to normal.

Frederic, not sure what is going on with the pdf, but in trying to access it I received an error that the file was damaged.

Clay, thanks for the note...I've updated the link -- looks like the URL was changed at the target site.

Regards,
Dan

Dan,

I'm not too fond of the new search engine, what is it, so I make sure that we never use it??

Seriously! It looks better, but the older one searched better. You can't use "+" in front of keywords, the boolean doesn't work correctly (returns items missing keywords), it doesn't treat QUOTED "" strings correctly.

Have you had any other complaints on it?

Great job on the forums! Wonderful information.

On the main forum page (http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/1,,1,00.html), under the "Top Users", there is a link to "all forum members". Using that link brings up a page with a set of a-z links, and the first page of "a" members. It would be faster to leave out the first page of "a" members, since most folks will have to choose from the "a-z" links anyway. Even better would be presenting a set of "a-z" links that are broken down to sub-pages with name ranges, so you can go directly to the correct page. For example,

a
a1 (A to Alessandro Pecorini)
a2 (Alessandro Vivas Andrade to Andreas Spaenhauer)
a3 (...)
a4 (...)
b
b1
...

Also, it would be convenient if my profile had a link to my forum question information. Easier to find questions that I've responded to.

Just my $0.02.
