Are the forum bugs geting worse (if that's possible) ?

{color:#000080}For several days now, we have been facing the Mystery of the Null Posts -- respond, click Post, see nothing.
Well, today I posted a response, saw it, and when I went back OP had replied -- but my post was no longer there.
So now we have the Mystery of the Disappearing Posts.
The topic thread is
{color}{color:#0000ff}http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5221464{color}{color:#000080}
and the response that went missing was between #2 and #3.

db{color}Oh delightful.
Expect this to get worse before it gets better.
Once upon a time (about 2 years ago now... I think it was the fall of 2005) there was a similar problem. Posts would routinely go missing. Then eventually some threads couldn't be posted into at all. Then whole forums couldn't be posted into.
Eventually (after about 3 weeks) one could only post into a few of the stupid forums (J2SE CAP comes to mind, maybe another one or two).
And it carried on like this for about a week while I carried on conversations mainly with myself in the stupid forums and nobody else posted.
It was fun.
Eventually after about a week I delivered a bitter diatribe on the state of the forums and the fact that nobody could actually post anywhere and after a couple of more days it got fixed.
As an aside in my diatribe I told them (Sun) where they could shove it (it being these forums) and that I wanted my account deleted because I didn't want to be associated with their shittiness. And that's how I became cotton.m

  • HT1657 What are the steps in watching a rental that was purchased and downloaded to your iphone 4?

    What are the steps in watching a rental that was purchased and downloaded to your iphone 4? or to watch on a home laptop?

    In order to watch it, just start playing it - if you've downloaded or synced it to your iPhone then it should be in the Videos app, or if it's on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Movies section of your library. You have 30 days to start watching it from when you rent it, and once you start watching it you then have 48 hours (24 hours in the US) to finish watching it. As long as the film has been fully downloaded downloaded then you should be able to watch it without being online.
    There is a FAQ page about rentals here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657

  • What are the "forum alternatives"?

    So if Adobe really does start to come around and consider the fact that this "Jiveware" is not working out to everyone's satisfaction, has anyone discussed or researched the alternatives yet?
    Obviously they have had their own internal research but it doesn't mean we can't help and make suggestions based on well functioning examples of high traffic forums that we may have seen on other sites.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software
    Wiki has a section here (if the link works) with "subarticles" that contains ASP, PHP, and "Other" forum software comparisons.
    It's not like Adobe is the only company that has a long list of high volume forums out there--what do others use?  I'm sure it's not Jiveware.

    They need to forget about pandering to youtube-facebook-twitter-games-playing youngsters with short attention spans. They need to consider what the most valuable members of the forums want and need - those people are the ones to nurture, not the ones who arrive in a panic and don't much care what the place looks like as long as they can get rapid, authoritative help.
    The people to consult should be easy to identify, and they are by no means all 'Community Experts'. Whoever makes these decisions should eat humble pie and find out what it would take to get back the real experts who have left. If that has to be NNTP, so be it. If it means speed, reliability, permanent log-ins, stripped-down-efficient-speedy-interface, go back to where you left off - concentrate on that.
    I'm not saying that those who mainly ask are not important, of course they are - they are customers and it's important to attract/retain them.
    But unless the unpaid 'staff' are in place, ready and willing to answer a lot of questions as patiently and accurately as they always have, the place will just fall apart. It will become a place where link-harvesters and drive-by posters play around, giving each other half-arsed answers and squabbling over points.
    I'm definitely not one of the 'elite' of course - so my only real suggestion is to ask the people who matter most, and DO WHAT THEY SAY.

  • Where are the forums for BEA Products? (Service Bus, Data Services, etc.)

    There is a somewhat vague message on the old BEA forums saying they have been moved here - along with a link to a non-existent 'Welcome FAQ'.

    (In an complete reversal of his previous comment, Hans states:)
    I'm not sure whether the Aqualogic Forums have been migrated, or (if they have) what they have been mapped to. Can't find 'em either.
    Oracle's recent webinar was pretty clear about JRockit and Weblogic server being the direction.
    However, for Aqualogic - based on that same webinar, my misinterpretation is that Aqualogic is one of the 'merged' families, where the best of breed is being chosen for each subset or solution area. That may be causing a delay in the forums being transferred and/merged.
    Hoping Oracle comes up with a document that clearly maps both the products and the forums. The list of products is
    BEA AquaLogic User Interaction
    BEA AquaLogic BPM
    BEA AquaLogic Integrator
    BEA AquaLogic Service Bus
    BEA AquaLogic Data Services Platform
    BEA AquaLogic Registry Repository

    BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Repository

  • What are the contents of ReportView​er.dll that comes with CalExec?

    Calibration Executive comes with code module ReportViewer.dll. What are the function prototypes for the routines in this module? There is no information on the exported functions that can be used by another calling program.

    Hey TC99
    You can use Dependency Walker to find out which functions are in that DLL.

  • Are the forums in Greenland then?

    Posts appear to have a timezone of GMT/UTC - 2 hours, which would mean the servers are in Greenland. Or maybe Cape Verde?. Cape Verde sounds nicer than Greenland but I don't suppose much work would get done, Greenland probably has more room for data centres also.

    Okay I get it. I had to set my own timezone, which I hadn't done. When I do that the time comes out correctly, my fault. The interesting thing is, and the reason I noticed it is that if you do not log in, the default is PST, but if you do log in and have not set the timezone you end up being assigned to Greenland.

  • My late 2008 MacBook won't charge, is it the battery or could it be that I possibly damaged the connection spot on my laptop?

    I tripped over the power cord and the piece that goes into my MacBook separated, I glued it and it was working fine until the other day someone tripped on it and it separated but it also looked different on the mac boo side, so I scratched of the rubbery film around the metal, again this is on my MacBook end. Now my computer won't charge, I thought maybe the charger was broken, but then I tested another charger and then my charger to another Mac and it worked, so I know it's not my charger, but somehow my computer. I don't know if the battery is fried, it had been not holding a charge for too long and it is the original battery but I don't know what  the exact problem is, is a new battery needed or is it something bigger and internal? I don't want to bring it to the apple store for fear of a hefty price tag...help?

    Hopefully, and more than likely, your magsafe charger has failed. Inspect the cord  near the bending points for cable strain, that's common. This oage may also give you some guidance http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713

  • Are the forum RSS feeds broken again?

    W3C validator says the RSS feed - for example for this forum - 'does not validate'.
    Thunderbird also complains that the feed is invalid.

    The feed looks okay to me in a web browser, but I'm not using an actual reader or trying to do any validation on it.
    There have been a few reports of this in the past though:

  • Are the Forums Woking?

    I posted "My brother-in-law has a HP Pavilion (750???) ; he thinks that's the model number.... Anyway, his system says it is a Windows Whistler Personal Edition (or something like that) and running the Windows XP Home Edition. Is Windows Whistler different than the regular Windows XP Home or is it different? We have been unsuccessful in our attempts to install Java. Any ideas? Thanks.".................... But Have Not Seen it posted yet, so I don't know if it went through or not.

  • Can the forum posts be sorted so that the newest posts/replies appear at the top of the list?

    We are getting some good activity now. I'm mainly interested in the EOS sub-topic. But when I go there the posts are not in order by the most recent activity. Can you add the feature to sort by Latest Activity so recent posts show at the top?

    Thank you Trish. I changed the settings as you suggested and I'm satisfied with the sort order now.
