Annoying Forum Issues

Hi,
I use the forums a lot from day to day. These are a couple of issues that make this frustrating:
* The login timeout is far too short. Sometimes while replying to a customer's message on the JDev forum, I'm simultaneously trying to reproduce the problem they reported, look up, or log bugs. Very often, by the time I hit the post message button, I've been logged out of the forums. When this happens, the forum inevitably becomes screwed up and I have to delete all my cookies to see any messages. The login timeout ought to be at least 30mins or longer. Security is all very well, but a 5 minute user logout (or whatever) is way over the top for an informative non-military-grade forum like the one on OTN.
* When I hit the "reply" link on messages I'm reading, and I'm not logged in, I get prompted to log in. After I log in, rather than opening the reply form, I get dumped back to the forums main page, and have to hunt for the post I was replying to again. Combined with the first issue, this is really irritating. I'm sure it used to work differently as well.

This is a known issue. We are planning to have this fixed.

  • A few forums issues noted

    Here are a few forums issues noted while reviewing the FAQ for the site.
    1) "Using Forums Forums" eyebrow text (above) is awkwardly worded.
    2) FAQ contains some
    spurious and bad links, missing
    icons,
    duplicated text, numerous
    typos, and some incorrect information.
    3) Some images in the FAQ contain obsolete information, such as the "tags" feature shown
    here.

    As most of these things have not been fixed yet, I am replying so that this goes to the top of the list for a short amount of time.
    Hello,
    Since the FAQ is now a WIKI, and everyone of the links that Graeme provided go to a page that says nothing more than:
    "The Forums help file has been moved to the
    Community Wiki. Please update any bookmarks you may have."
    I am unsure what you mean by suggesting that these things have not been fixed.
    If you can provide links to information that needs to be updated, we can fix that.
    Better yet, since it's a wiki, YOU can fix errors or missing data!

  • Annoying Volume Issues!!

    The past day or two, I've noticed a very annoying issue with my volume in iTunes. Everytime I turn the volume up, the volume will increase for a second then slowly decrease to a much lower volume, I don't know whats causing the problem, but it's really annoying. The sound also seems to be a lot more lower in quality, sounds like the volume is fading in and out, and it's only in iTunes, not in any other media player.
    Anyone have a similar problem or is it just me?

    Hello
    I have this problem too - did you manage to get an ansr from the forum ?
    Cheers

  • T6100 - Annoying Sound issues

    Alrighty, since i cant seem to figure this out on my own, i thought id register and post my problem. i've searched the forum for a resolution but came up empty.
    First im a bit unhappy with this overall problem, for one i purchased this system..and even paid extra to get it shipped sooner, and it still took a week and a half, but anyhow.
    I connected everything where it's supposed to go, but now..any time i play any type of PC game, I get seriously annoying consistant Pulsing sounds coming from all 5 speakers. For the most part, the games i play on a regular basis are World of Warcrafy, Gears of War, and LOTR Online, all 3 games have the pulsing sound. once the game has exited the pulsing stops, but i did notice however..
    that whenever i do anything on the computer, weather its scroll thru a menu, hover over a "rollover" image, or anything of that nature, i can hear feedback in all 5 speakers.
    Secondly.. The subwoofer has a very low, consistant pulse feedback ALL the time, even when the PC is off. My sound card is a Sound Blaster Audigy SE 24-Bit with up to date drivers.
    So im at a loss as to what to do, im ready to remove the system and put back my old surround system i bought for 20bucks that never seem to have any problems.
    Could it be possible my sound card is a bit old to handle this 5.1 system, even though it supports 5.1/6.1/7.1 systems?
    Or could it be the fact that i do not own a surge protector and having the system plugged into a wall outlet be the cause of the consistant feedback?
    Any help would be appreciate.
    Ive found Creative products to be something i keep coming back to buy, and never had trouble until now.
    And im aware of the sound quality from World of Warcraft, i've been keeping up with forums about the issue from the last patch when they decided to redo the whole sound engine. with my old system, WoW sounded incredibly disgusting after that patch..so i know its not me, its the game, I would just like to remove the feedback, and pulsing.

    You actually need to find and install an audio driver for Windows, whether Cirrus or RealTek or whatever iMac uses.

  • RIch text forum issue since reinstall of OS

    Ever since I reinstalled my system software (10.4.11), I have been unable to utilize rich text editor options available for forum posting. (not this forum - about.com is one of them). In Safari, the editor toolbar is non-existent when posting/editing a post, and my individual paragraphs display as one huge paragraphs rather than individual ones. I'm not having this problem in Firefox. In Firefox, the rich text editor appears (bold, italic, etc. buttons), as do options for "design" and "HTML"—all missing in Safari.
    Previous to the reinstall, I was not having this issue in Safari. Paragraphs were created by hitting "return", not inserting html code.
    I'm wondering if there is a setting, or plugin, that was present in my old system that did not get installed, which is contributing to why Safari has omitted these options as opposed to Firefox.
    Thanks!

    No I haven't tried another mouse, but the malfunctions started as soon as OSX 10.6.4 was installed, so I deduced that it was a software rather than a hardware issue. I will however try another mouse.

  • Annoying Print Issue - "Multiple files are bound...."

    Anyone know how to disable the extra page that prints with PDF packages that's titled "Multiple files are bound together in this PDF package"?
    Basically, when I print out the documents that are packaged, this page prints out first - and it's very annoying...
    I am using Acrobat 8 Pro, so, it can't be a version issue.. also does this printing from Acrobat Reader 9...
    Thanks for any help in this.
    Jill

    I found something that seems to address the issue we were having. 
    "In Acrobat v8, you can choose to create a PDF Package that allows you to choose whether to use a default cover sheet or use the first PDF file (in it's entirety) as the cover sheet.  In Acrobat v9, it no longer appears to be an option to choose a cover sheet - the default cover sheet is ALWAYS part of the portfolio."
    I have Adobe 8 Pro and have tried it and it worked like a charm for me.
    The steps I followed are were:  File> Combine  Files> Add Files (select all files to be added to the PDF Package)> Next> select Assemble Files into a PDF Package (be sure the document you want as the "cover page" is the 1st one listed, if not, "Move Up")> Select Cover Sheet (in the lower right of the window) select "Use First Document"> Create> Save.
    After following these steps, you will find the Cover Sheet is the 1st part of your PDF Package and the rest will be listed to the left.  When you Print All Documents, you will no longer get the "Multiple files are bound together in this PDF Package" cover sheet beforehand.

  • Some of the most annoying SJC issues:

    As I promised I will post some bugs I found. Will start from the most annoying for me:
    1. Visual designer does not show JSPF fragment components inside GridPanel or GroupPanel. This is just a terrible issue.
    2. CSS cannot be be assigned to JSPF during design time. I understand that JSPFs use CSS of the container page in run time but how am I going to design JSPF without CSS? Do I have to always go to the container page and preview how JSPF really looks? Sometimes when I get back from the container to JSPF it retains the styling but after refresh it gets absolutely styless again.
    3. If I am binding the "Rendered" property of a component (such as grid panel), it disappears from the visual designer (after you click refresh) and will never reappear until you unbind it.

    (1) VIsual designer does not show JSPF fragment inside GridPanel or GroupPanel: The reason this happens is that GridPanel and GroupPanel are JSF components which encode their own children; you can't put plan markup as direct children of these components (you can't do that for data table either). And a page fragment is going to be an HTML fragment; usually a <div> (look at the JSP source of your fragment). We should try to handle this better; at a minimum preventing the drop (since it doesn't work) but better yet try to fix it if we can. An< f:verbatim> here isn't what you want (this is how you can usually embed html in encoding-children components) because you don't want the JSF children of your html tag inserted verbatim. Somebody in support, can you file an issue to track this one please?
    (2) CSS in fragments: That's a reasonable request. The reason it's not shown there is as you suspected; fragments don't have their own stylesheets (stylesheets can only be added to html documents in the <head> section, and fragments are portions of <body>.)
    Also, in addition to not knowing which stylesheets are in pages that might include the fragments, we also don't know the context; when you see a fragment included in another page it doesn't just pick up styles from the stylesheets but from the context too (for example, a font-size: 48pt setting on a containing element will inherit right into the fragment). Thus, the fragment needs to know the exact element context it should use too.
    If there are multiple pages including the fragment, they might use the same stylesheet if we're lucky, but the fragments will almost certainly have different style element contexts.
    As you've noticed, the fragments already show the styling of the last page they were rendered as part of. This is a side effect of model sharing, and it's a bug I didn't think important to fix since it's sometimes nice ;-)
    However, I can see the argument that in some cases, especially if a fragment is included by only pages with the same stylesheet, it would be nice to apply those styles in the fragments too, even if it won't correctly include other style contexts from the pages. That's a reasonable request.
    (3) Rendered value binding: I agree, we should special case this to make sure rendered is considered true at designtime. I've gotta investigate how that works with some layout components though (like card layout) which I think relies on this (hiding all but one at design time)).

  • Exceedinly Annoying Printing Issues

    I need to print out several copies of a particular PDF file.  It works perfectly in windows, so it is most definitely not a printer problem. 
    This is the PDF file: https://sites.google.com/a/eng.ucsd.edu … edirects=0 .  Let me know if that's inaccessible.
    First, I tried printing in evince.  A large number of the thin lines are printed far thicker than the thicker lines.  This is unacceptable.  It is visible in the print preview window as well as when the file is printed directly to PDF. 
    Next, I tried okular and LPR with the PDF directly.  Both produced prints that rendered the arcs as line segments.  This is even less acceptable than the previous failure mode.
    After that, I tried pdf2ps followed by evince, okular, and lpr.  All three methods resulted in a chart that was shifted up and to the right, cutting off some of the chart on the right side, followed by a blank page and a page with the following text:
    ERROR:
    rangecheck
    OFFENDING COMMAND:
    .installpagedevice
    STACK:
    --nostringval--
    --nostringval--
    --nostringval--
    I also tried using lpr with the pdf2ps output file in raw mode, but that printed out one page with some postscript on it followed by lots and lots of blank pages until I cancelled the job at the printer itself. 
    First question, what sort of workaround do I need to print this dang thing?
    Second question, who do I need to submit bug reports to so this actually might have a remote chance of possibly getting maybe fixed?  I had similar problems under Ubuntu, so it's not arch specific.  I'm assuming the first issue is in poppler.  I'm not sure about the other two, though.

  • Annoying email issue that is my own fault

    Hello:
    Several months ago I posted to this message board asking for help with an issue regarding my email. In December, I purchased a BB Storm but for various reasons, had to maintain a Tmobile BB Pearl as well through the end of February. In February, I contacted Tmobile and canceled my contract with no costs. Although I hyad deleted all contacts, calendar info, etc. from the Pearl, I forgot to delete my Tmobile BB email address. I tried to call back and do it the same day once I realized I was going to get a "message failure" email from <[email protected]> to my Gmail account with every email because of course the Tmobile BB email no longer exists. I called Tmobile and they said it probably wouldn't last because the email address was dying, but now 7 months later, I am still getting these messages. 
    I have set up filters so that the emails are sent directly to my Gmail trash and it doesn't really affect my email experience, but it is kind of annoying to get a message failed notification every time I get an email.
    I realize I screwed up and have to live with the consequences, but is there anything that can be done to permanently delete that old Tmobile address?
    Thanks. 

    Actually, it sounds as if the TMO address did die. Is this the sequence?
    1) You receive an email at GMail
    2) GMail forwards automatically to the dead TMO address
    3) Your BB gets the email from GMail
    4) TMO rejects due to the non-existent account
    5) The rejection arrives at GMail
    6) The rejection comes to your BB (since it's a new email to GMail)
    If that's the sequence (which, btw, should return to step 2 and go in an endless loop), then the TMO address is indeed dead...you just need to find, in GMail, where the auto-forward is and kill that.
    Or do we still misunderstand?

  • FORUM ISSUE? Threads say they are answered in the forum list

    but when you open them, it says it is not answered.  This is an example
    [Exception Aggregation;

    The thread is in "Assumed answered" state. Ian Waterman posed a question to the author (PokerKing) of the thread and never got a reply. So I assume that after some time a moderator set this to "Assumed answered". I do this on the CR .NET developer forums. If after 6 weeks +, there is no reply to our questions, I feel it is quite safe to assume the issue is either resolved or abandoned. Since there is no "Abandoned" state on the forums, "Assumed answered" is it.
    New queries regarding the same issue should probably start with a new forum thread rather than asking PokerKing if he found an answer. More than likely, he will not answer as he abandoned his orginal thread in the 1st place.

  • Another annoying artwork issue

    After reading this forum for quite a while, I noticed that most artwork issues concern wrong pictures or black screen.
    Well, I have a slightly different problem:
    Some tracks (albums) display the correct artwork when the device is held in "portrait" position, but when turning it to "landscape" mode, the artwork goes black!
    Also, sometimes in CoverFlow mode on the iPod Touch the artwork is black, but when viewed in List Mode the correct artwork is shown! Re-syncing didn't help, btw...
    I noticed that this only happens with artwork I supply manually or with artwork that comes from download sites (dgwebshop, emusic) which are not iTunes. Notice that in all cases, when viewing the artwork via iTunes (either the computer library file or the iPod Touch file) the artwork is correct!
    I was wondering maybe Apple have a bug with particular artworks and wanted to ask, what should be the proper size/format of the artwork? Should I always try to create 600x600 files? Should they be GIF/JPG/PNG? Does iTunes convert the pasted artwork to its own format?
    Any ideas would help.
    Thanks!
    Misha.
    Message was edited by: oktavist2

    I have the same problem, but it is effecting the albums that I downloaded in ITunes as well. The artwork is fine in ITunes, and it displays correctly when I hold the Itouch horizontally, but the album list and vertical perspective are screwed up, displaying either the blank notes or a bizarre conglomeration of artwork from other albums I've uploaded.

  • Very annoying spotlight issue

    Hello to everyone !
    mds operation is keeping on running causing spotlight searches to retrieve no result at all, the only way of getting results back is to kill the process through activity monitor and suddenly results are coming back.
    I know this subject has been covered throughout multiple forums and pages but we need to admit that there's no solution working for the long term.
    I am just wondering WHY apple didn't provide a fix through mac os x updates ? They do know that the problem lasts for very long time (even prior to mac os x 10.7) and had been reported by many users... SO WHY ? This is very annoying. Maybe the put more resources trying to find how to make the next Iphone or Ipad even a more best seller ! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED !
    So please share your comments or give me a workaround i didn't had a chance to find !
    Thanks
    Vincent

    How are you doing a search while the index is still rebuilding? How are you reindexing for that matter? *sudo mdutil -E pathtovolume* will erase the index and a new one will be created.
    Is the privacy tab of Spotlight excluding any directories that would have these files?

  • Annoying little issue with streaming and syncing.

    My Macbook is connected to two external hard drives which are hosts to all my movie and tv show files. These files make up my iTunes library so when I sync content the files are copied from my external HD's to my ATV. Some are copied and some I stream. I therefore have a massive library on the ATV selection under "My Movies" and "My TV Shows".
    However, when I shutdown iTunes. All the content still shows up in the menus. Those that are synced can obviously be played but those that are not synced and played by streaming, still appear on the menu but obviously can't be played.
    This is very annoying. I can't keep track of how many of the hundreds of movie files have been synced and which ones haven't. Before the latest update, the files that were not synced would disappear from the many once iTunes was shut down but now it appears they still remain there.
    Any fix for this issue? And no, I don't want to tick "Show only synced items on my Apple TV" because then I can't stream anymore.

    can confirm that this is also still the case for me, and i stream everything.
