Forums Maintenance - January 15, 2008

Hello Everyone,
In my discussions with Lithium (our forum vendor) regarding
performance, they have suggested some maintenance on the forums that
could help with our community's performance.
The maintenance is to "trim" floated
threads and boards (not subscriptions) for all users in the community. This means that if
you floated a thread more than 3 months
ago, we would remove the float for you. In
long-standing communities like ours, users can build up many floats that can affect the performance of the entire
community.
In order to keep the floats that are important
to you, you just need to unfloat:
and re-float the thread because they will then be
newer than 3 months:
I must stress that there is no guarantee that this will have a noticeable benefit for performance, but Lithium has recommended that we try this because it has helped other communities in the past.
This maintenance will be performed on January 15, 2008.
Please post any questions or concerns you have to the thread on the feedback board.

Hi lacy,
Sorry that I missed your reply, I had made a bunch of posts and misplaced my subscription emails
On the feedback board, I posted about turning on tagging here. First, it was for Forum Enthusiasts and NI Employees. After we got some traction, I turned it on for all Active users (200 posts and more) which includes you.
There is also another long thread with much user discussion about tagging here. It's long, but you can see some of my posts about the benefit of tagging by looking at the messages I've tagged with "tagging".
Thanks,
Laura

        mm(2) type c ,
        yy(4) type c .
dd = P_DATE+6(2).
mm = p_date+4(2).
yy = p_date+0(4).
select single ltx
         into p_output
         from t247
         where SPRAS = sy-langu
               and mnr = mm.
till here u finshed splitting dates and extracted your month text
Now u simply have to concatenate the way u want

I offer an alternative:
RSS
For the heavy subscription users this is might be drastic shift in workflow, but as LabVIEW users we are used to that.
In my RSS reader (newsfox for Firefox) I have a group called 'discussions' where I have feeds from discussions I'm interested in.
Every thread has it's own RSS feed so you easily follow them.
Besided Discussions I also have trackers feeded through RSS.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the feedback!
I think I may have not made something very clear - this operation is a one time deal. We do not plan to do this at any regular interval, and if at any point at time that becomes necessary, we will give everyone plenty of notice. I definitely do not want to silently delete anything
The idea behind "trimming" your subscriptions down to only those added in the last 3 months assumes that most conversations die down by then and become not as important to you. Of course, that is not always true which is why I wanted to give everyone enough notice to remove and re-add subscriptions that are important to them.
For users that have many subscriptions they want to keep, this could be a time-consuming process. I will look into whether or not we could just do this operation for floated threads and boards, since people tend to have less floats than subscriptions.
I think once tagging is available to everyone, it can replace some of the use of floats and subscriptions because it allows you to make it easy to find threads and messages again. Ton also brings up a good point about RSS - I also use this to track particular users.
I'll keep you updated. I definitely wanted to get some feedback before going through with this operation.
Thanks,
Laura
P.S. Ton - I started with the largest boards for sticky (or floated) posts first.... I'll keep going

Any suggestions for maintenance on my 2008 MBP?

So I bought my 2.4Ghz MBP last October. It works pretty good, and I run all media software programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Logic, Ableton Live) But after time it seems like my maching is running sluggish. I get the rainbow windmill a lot now (mainly when I'm on the internet) and it just seems to drag more....
Can anyone lend me some SOLID methods of maintenance??? I'm not familiar with any kind of maintenance on Macs.... Your help would be appreciated Thanks!

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
10. MimMac (Commercial)
11. CloneTool Hatchery (Shareware)
12. Clone X (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.

NOTICE OF PLANNED MAINTENANCE: 19-APR-2008

To serve you better, we are making some improvements. An outage is scheduled for Saturday, April 19, 2008 from 12:00 a.m. (midnight) to 7:00 a.m. PDT (07:00-14:00 UTC). During this time, you will not be able to access sites requiring Sun Online Account login or registration. You will be able to visit sites with features that do not require login. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Note: If you have logged in or registered this week, you will not be affected by the outage.

John,
Thank you for the correction. I am working on my stuttering problem, but sometimes it manifests itself in my finger tips, when it should not.
Maybe I have been typing too many Dutch names, like Harm Millaard, and got carried away... ?
I greatly appreciate your editing work, but have to admit that I have no $ to pay you for your efforts - sorry.

I just noticed this post under forum maintenance

I wish the admin would direct us to this rather than just deleting our posts that discuss the forum. I understand that this is a technical forum, but I would not be able to stand it if, everything was always on topic:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=788131&tstart=0

This phrase really irritates me: "The best way to give feedback is to use the links provided on that program's pages."
No. The best way to give feedback is to post it publically in a place where we can all see it so that it doesn't get duplicated and we all know if it's been actioned.
The best way to destroy the community is to tell us to shut up and only communicate in secret with the powers that be.

Forums Release: January 14, 2014

Impact
This release will take place between 3:00-4:00PM PST Jan. 14th. There is no scheduled downtime during this release.
Release Details
Updated "My Threads" to display threads which have had reply activity in the last 60 days. This is to reduce the number of errors we have been seeing for users with high thread volumes.
Additional bug fixes
Forums Program Manager

Sometimes the release version has a later build number than the last beta we received, which in a way can be even worse than if the build is the same. The thing that has caused some confusion is that a few posts here have been answered with "we've fixed that and it will be in the next build", and the next build turned out to be the same as the previous build.
So, I think the truth is that those things are fixed in the next build that appears on labs, and the release one doesn't count as a new beta build. I don't know when the next labs build will be.

My MacBook pro says clock is set to date before January 1 2008

How I I get my MacBook pro to rese to the correct time? It has done this before and when restarted it is back to normal. It seems to happen when the battery goes dead. This time it won't correct the problem itself.

It seems to happen when the battery goes dead
When you lose power to the clock chip, it cannot remember the time.
System preferences > Date&Time > ...
... will allow you to set the Data & Time again. Check your Time Zone and that a sensible format (e.g., US, Canada, or UK if that is where you live) is selected, and NOT Custom.

GPO Internet Explorer Maintenance missing in WS 2008 R2

Hi all
suddenly I missed the Internet Explorer Maintenance in WS 2008 R2, when I show the settings tab on the GPO it self its showing properly, but I cant find it when I try to edit.
any assistance on that ?

some body said
> The Properties dialogue appears. Makes changes as needed. (Why do we
> need a different GPO for each version I have no idea!)
You do not. Simply edit the XML and change the hidden version filter for
iexplore.exe to max="99.0.0".
it means
if i do this i can see all policy in all ie version??
and can you eplane how i edit xml ???
Editing the XML, is to allow a Group Policy Preferences - Internet Explorer settings object, to apply to a newer IE version. e.g. you create a GPP-IE setting for IE8 but you want it to apply to IE9.
This unsupported XML hack was proposed as a workaround, until it became understood how to do it in the correct, supported way.
Here's an example:
http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2011/03/how-to-enable-group-policy-preferences-support-for-ie9/
Another example:

Leopard sleep problem which seems related to Entourage 2008...

Hi all,
I have a MBP (3,1) running 10.5.2 and I noticed about 3 months ago that if I left the lid open the energy saver triggered sleep wouldn't kick in (very hot laptop next morning syndrome).
I've read a number of other threads on Leopard auto-sleep problems (which pointed to the HP AIO frameworks) but this doesn't appear to be the same issue I have...
If I quit Entourage 2008 then the computer will sleep after the correct period of time - and that's with no other changes to my normal use. Of course I'd like to not have to worry about quitting Entourage each time I might, maybe, just possibly not be back at the computer for a while.
Now in the system log I do keep getting the following strange entries:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Entourage.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Entourage[914]: Warning: accessing obsolete X509Anchors.
I have no idea what this really does and I do appear to have such a file in the system called X509Anchors...
If I switch Entourage to Offline mode then the entries don't appear in the system log anymore but... the unit still won't sleep. It requires Entourage not to be running it seems.
Having not seen anything else on the discussions forum relating to Entourage 2008 preventing auto-sleep I'm beginning to wonder whether it's just me?!?
Anyone else seeing this effect? And most importantly, does anyone know of a fix?
I have tried the NMS sleep utility stuff and although it worked perfectly whilst I was testing it using Energy saver timings of 1 minute... as soon as I upped the time back to my usual 30 minutes for CPU sleep it failed to work again.
Any help much appreciated.

Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
# Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
# Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
# Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
# Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(
