ABAP General forum - 22 pages of posts in one day - wtf ?

I don't have a project right now, so I was perusing the ABAP forum for whatever looked interesting.
I noticed 22 pages of posts just today 11 Feb. With 15 posts per page that's 330 post/replies in one day!
WTF is up with that, a little too crazy isn't it ?

The turnover in the ABAP Development forums has always been fast (hence also the temptation to duplicate post, instead of following up with more infos from having made some headway on your own while waiting for answers)...
Since a few days, there has been a steady increase and it is very busy at the moment.
I am not sure what the equilibrium thread-per-minute rate is before people reach the search-first-coeffecient, but it is approaching hopefully.
I am trying to look on the bright side of it...
Cheers,
Julius

  • Receiving notification from sap abap general forum

    hi all,
    2 days ago i started to receive every new post to my email from abap general forum. end up a day receiving almost thousand emails.

  • ABAP General Forum in Santa mode for the next 10 days.

    Dear gurus,
    In an attempt to close some threads neglected by the OP's this year and achieve SDN's goals with regards to points (see the Welcome thread about the UN food program and other donations made by SAP based on annual contributions) I will be combing through selected threads from the current year and closing them as moderator.
    It will be impossible to do a perfect and complete job of this, but I will try my best to be fair and concentrate on those who have contributed valueable inputs of information but not been recognized appropriately.
    Feel welcome to post links to threads which you feel are candidates for me to take a look into, or even add to the "FAQ & Memorable threads" sticky. You can also contact me via my Business Card details.
    Also please close your own threads and do not dump them all to the top again unless there is a good reason to comment further (the comment field is not mandatory!)
    Cheers and merry christmas to all,
    Vijay

  • The Last Post column on forum home page

    Is it my imagination, or does the Last Post column keep appearing and disappearing from the forum home page?
    I've seen it a few times, I think, but then it vanishes.

    what I can see is the difference between those two links :
    http://forums.oracle.com/forums/main.jspa?categoryID=84
    http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=84
    Hmmm...interesting.
    When I'm reading a forum and want to go to the main Forum Home page, I click on the "Forum Home" link in the upper left corner of the page (just under the Oracle logo).
    The link has this url: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/index.jspa?categoryID=84 which is slightly different than the two you posted.
    When I click on it, I end up at the first link you posted. But sometimes I see the Last Post column and sometimes not.

  • Separate ABAP-HR Forum?

    Hi All,
    I read the below 2 threads:
    [What is the relevant Place to post?|What is the relevant Place to post?; in 2008 from SAS
    [Why not ABAP HR Forum|Why not ABAP HR Forum; in 2009 from Sikindar
    So, any good news?
    I am working on ABAP-HR for the past 5 years and had learnt a lot from here.
    I asked very few questions till date as I could mostly get my solutions by searching and I posted very less as almost all of the good questions were already answered by experts before I could do.
    But when I ask questions or search for ABAP-HR related questions, I really feel, it is good to have a separate forum and I am not sure how much cross posting might happen by having a separate forum for ABAP-HR.
    Appreciate your valuable responses.
    Regards,
    Eswar

    IMO there's no need for a separate forum for ABAP-HR. All technical questions can be asked in ABAP, General and the functional ones in HCM forum.
    Too many forums will cause information to be spread-out. Hence searching will become more tedious. Add to that the confusion and ignorance of posters, and we have a difficult time keeping the forums in order!
    Just my 2 cents,

  • Missing history in ABAP Development forum

    When I look at the main page of the ABAP Development forum, I only see two pages of history. When I look at a sub-forum, I see lots of pages. Is it just me? (I have set my display to 50 items per page.)
    Just noticed - same behavior here in Community Discussions.
    Rob
    Edited by: Rob Burbank on Apr 27, 2009 10:37 AM

    For me it is still only 4 pages (I'm on 25 per page) in "Community Discussions". However in the sub forums e.g. "Suggestions and Comments" I can browse to older pages, as opposed to my previous statement.
    It's not really a problem from my point of view, as the response time seems to be slightly better.

  • Loading speed of Forum home page

    Whenever I enter the forum home page after some idle time, it takes 10-20 seconds to load. This seems excessive.
    Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me (possible because of higher than average activity )?
    What could be the problems? Maybe the server has issues collecting all the "custom" information to construct the page?
    To test, I tried a few things, e.g. dont display the subscriptions at the bottom. bzzt! Doesn't work! I could not find a way to disable the display of subscriptions, at least one must show! (If I set "Number of Displayed Subscriptions" to zero, it displays all of them instead. )
    LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

    Thanks Molly for confirming my suspicion that it had to do with subscriptions. I now removed all subscriptions and the speed is definitely improved.
    If I had a way to sort threads according to last activity in the list of my posts, subscriptions would be less important. Ths has been requested elsewhere and should be on top of the to-do list.
    Maybe we should have an option to auto-expire subscriptions after a defined time interval (1 week, 1 month).
    We should have an option to not show any subscription on the front page. The current minimum is one. Setting it to zero display all messages instead.
    Maybe you just need a faster server. It should be able to handle a few altenbachs .

  • Adobe Forums Start page

    Has anyone noticed that Indesign is missing from the icons on the Forums start page - does someone hate Indesign?

    Email responses are to the forum, not to individual posters, so you only need to send the same material once. Everyone who visits or is subscribed gets to see everything.
    It's been so long since I posted a question of my own, but I think you should see some buttons on the the web page (can't do it by email) at the bottom of each response whcih you use to award correct or helpful answer points. There's also a link at the top, I think to allow you to declare the question answered.
