"Questions"/"Posts" nonsense

This 'Question' nonsense is taking the compelxity of the new forums FAR too far. I have posted a real question today, but I did not mark it as a 'Question'. Therefore it appears in My Posts, but not in My Questions - even though it is a question. Without it being a Question, it isn't a question. And so I cannot award points to anyone who answers my question, because it wasn't a Question to begin with.
In a final piece of nonsense, the Help says "a Discussions topic is classified as a question by default", but also "When a topic is marked as a question, a question mark icon will appear next to the topic. This lets the Discussions community know that a member is looking for answers to a question."
Now, if anyone can figure out what the **** this all means, please let us know. I have marked this as a Question, so if you give me an Answer, I can give you points. But not otherwise. Or something.
Mods- come on, the old system was FAR more intiuitive....

You get 15 minutes after starting a topic to change its Question status. There's banner a message telling you that on the top of that topic screen...of course you have to know to go there to look for it:(

  • How do you get an answer to a question posted in a Forum?

    I posted a question in the Creating/Editing... Forum this week, but haven't received an answer - not even a "Nobody's ever had that problem before; sorry, no answer available" response.  Is the Forum only made up of other users like me (albeit with significantly more experience and knowledge), or are there Official Forum Question Answerers who moderate the Forums?
    Obviously "new to all this"...
    Thank you.

    Thank you so much for this, George!  I went back and added the version (11.0.08) of Acrobat Pro XI I’m using, and that I’m working on a Windows7 PC, to my original question .  I took a snapshot of a tiny corner of the doc and inserted that image.  I don’t know if that will be enough to help define the problem.
    I really appreciate your response!

    I just realised that I posted a question in the wrong forum. Is there a way that I can move it, or should I rewrite it in the correct forum ?
    Thank you

    I think only the moderator would be able to move a thread.
    Ive got only one option available: create a post I think youve got also only this one option.

  • PM/EAM related questions posted in PLM forum

    Hi,
    I was going through some of the threads available in PLM forum, but to my surprise, most of the threads posted are related to PM, which should have been posted in EAM forum. It was clearly mentioned by the moderator in one of the sticky thread [PLM-Forumsplit - Please ensure you are using the right forum|PLM-Forumsplit -  Please ensure you are using the right forum;
    Questions regarding Plant Maintenance (PM) or Customer Service (CS) are discussed in the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) forum
    forums - posts will be moved to the right forum.
    Please ensure your are opening a new thread in the right forum
    Despite the clear instructions given my the moderator, PM related questions are still posted to PLM forum and some of the active participant of EAM forum answers these questions in PLM forum. It would be nice if those threads are moved to appropriate forum, so that the relevant informations are available under one forum, also, PLM forum should be monitored regularly and inappropriate threads are to be moved to their respective forum.
    Few PM related threads posted recently in PLM forum:

    I hate to say this, but I often see the same thing, and I've never been able to figure out exactly what triggers selectability vs. non-selectability, but I suspect some of it has to do with tranparency flattening in particular, and possibly text wrap in cases where that comes into play. ID optimizes the PDF it creates, I think, and that might cause text, or even images, to be broken into chunks in funny ways. It occurs to me that turning off optimzing for fast web view might help in this regard.

  • Please, eating disorder question posted last night was serious, needs reply

    Maybe I tried too hard to inject humor into my post, but the issue I posed was real, and I sure would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix it. Here it is again, bad jokes and all:
    Whenever I try to feed a CD or DVD into my computer, there are some slight whirring sounds like the computer is trying to read it, but CD/DVD icon never appears on desktop and then machine spits out the disk. My theory is that, with Apple promoting the iMac with the theme that "You can never be too thin," my computer has become bulimic. Apparently, images of unrealistically thin computer models are just as harmful as human ones. To increase my computer's self-esteem, I tried reading it favorable reviews from when it was introduced back in 2005, but this has not proven to be effective therapy at all. Please help before my Powerbook ends up lifeless in the corner of a closet like Karen Carpenter. Thank you.

    Hi,
    Humor aside... let's try a little exercise.
    There are a number of simple questions you leave open, but it seems you have had this computer for a while. Did this just start recently? Has it never worked? Is the disc put in shiny side down? Etc?
    So, for this time let's try something...
    Do you have a CD-R disc? Do you have pictures in iPhoto?
    Open iPhoto and select about 6-8 pictures... go down to the Burn icon and click it... let it ask for a disc... insert it... if it burns it, let it finish and eject it.
    Next, close/quit iPhoto. Now, insert the disc... iPhoto should open and load the pictures, and/or tell you they are duplicates and do you want to keep the original or replace it with the one on the disc. At this point, you can refuse and eject the disc.
    If this works I'd say there is either nothing on the disc's you are trying to load, or they are burnt in a full windows format, not the apple or the hybred. iPhoto burns in Apple format. Some other programs give you a choice. And I have found that some burnt on other machines do not always line up, track-wise, with my machine (I've had some music CD's do that to me).
    So try that and see if it is you or where you are getting the other CD's from. We will tackle the DVD issue next if the CD works.
    Enjoy.

  • Printing Questions - "Poster" - One image on multiple sheet of paper (to create an enlargement)

    Hello,
    Tried to find this in the archives - apologies if this has already been answered. Kindly reply with that link and I won't ask you to chew your cabbage twice...
    On my older PC, I used to be able to print an image in "poster" mode, which essentially let me print and enlarge an image by printing it across multiple pages (e.g. 4, 6, 9 pages.) Since I'm a painter, this was an easy way for me to print out an image - and enlarge it - from which I could tape the pages together to create the enlargement. I then could use that rough poster-enlargement-on-multiple-sheets-of-paper to trace on to my canvas. (And my photographer friends have already pointed out the ease of which to actually print poster size images, but I don't need that expense or hassle for my purposes. I basically want an enlargement to trace onto a larger size canvas to paint on.)
    Since I just got a new Mac, I've downloaded PSE9 Mac trial, but can't for the life of me figure out how to replicate what I used to do on my PC, granted with an older version of PSE.
    Hoping this makes sense - and hoping against hope that someone can nudge me in the right direction...
    Thanks!
    Greg
    BTW - IF this does make sense, AND I can do on the Mac or the newer version of PSE - anybody got an idea for a workaround? (Short of buying PS CS5...?)

    Juergen,
    Thanks so much! Of course you're right - and this does the job perfectly! Thank you so much for the prompt replay, explained clearly, and very helpful! You've really helped me move onto items which I've really wanted to do!
    Very gratefully,
    Greg

  • LOGIC QUESTION - Posting to an alternate account based on parent value

    Hi
    I need to calculate the value of an aggregate account and then if the value of that aggregate account is negative, post all of its base level accounts (whose values might be DR and CR values) to an alternate account stored as a property in the account dimension.
    I started with the logic below with PKBS11002 being the aggregate account.
    *MEMBERSET(%AccountsList%,"Descendants([Account].[PKBS110022],999,LEAVES)")
    *XDIM_Memberset ACCOUNT = %AccountList%
    *CALC_DUMMY_ORG ACCOUNT = Parenth1
    *WHEN ACCOUNT
    *IS #PKBS110022
    *WHEN %VALUE%
    *IS <0
    //In this section i need to determine all the base accounts for PKBS110022 and then post their values to the alternate account.
    *ENDWHEN
    *ENDWHEN
    Regards,
    Byron

    I tried removing the line
    *XDIM_Memberset ACCOUNT = %AccountList%
    but no luck
    The two processes that I go through are as follows:
    Unsuccessful process
    Step 1: Import data
    Step 2: Run logic as above
    Result: No records posted
    Successful process
    Step 1: Import data
    Step 2: Delete records that are not a parent of PKBS110022
    Step 3: Run optimize to ensure update of OLAP
    Step 2: Run logic as above
    Result: Records posted correctly
    What i did notice is that in the Unsuccessful Log contains "failed test:GET(ACCOUNT="#PKBS110022")<0  : 0<0"

  • Grub question post-installation

    I installed Solaris 10 on a Dell Dimension 3000 with two hard drives. I put Solaris on HDB2 (second partition on second hard drive). The partition was previously occupied by NetBSD.
    The other operating systems are:
    Windows XP on HDA2
    Slackware Linux on HDB1
    Debian Linux on HDB3
    I use Grub to boot from the MBR, with the MBR Grub files residing on the Slackware partition. When I chainload to the Solaris partition, I get the Solaris grub boot screen, as expected. But when I try to boot Solaris from there, I get an error message. I notice that when Solaris was installed, it configured Grub with the Solaris partition of HD0,1,a, which would mean the first hard drive, second partition; however, that's where Windows is.
    I tried booting Solaris from the grub command line using the following:
    root (hd1,1,a)
    kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
    bootbut was unsuccessful.
    I also tried mounting Solaris from Debian in order to fix the menu.lst file in Grub but wasn't able to read the Solaris partition from Linux without recompiling the kernel (which I'd rather not do).
    I'm looking to either (a) boot Solaris from the command line grub, or (2) access the Solaris partition some other way, either by mounting it from Linux or by using a Solaris rescue CD, if one exists.
    One I get in, I know what to do, I just need to be able to get there first.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Disregard. After posting this, I realized I could use "e" in Grub to directly edit the grub commands. I will give that a shot.
