Asking Questions in different forums...

I used to be able to figure out how to ask questions in individual forums easily. Last night, from my home computer, I could NOT figure out how to ask any forum any question.
I am now at work on a Dell Something-or-other PC and it works easily.
Why is this???
Thanks for your help - Dennis

Hey denmicone - you think that's bad, I can't even figure out if you're asking a question or making a statement... OR are you saying you could not POST a question 'cause your iMac wasn't working right over your internet connection at home. You think your puzzled, I'm already lost and it's only 7:30AM, please enlighten us, Good luck, Rick

Poll about asking questions in the forum.

It seems that really few users noticed the poll that's been running for a month, see this thread: Asking questions on the Adobe Forums

I personally dislike polls where the answers aren't mutually exclusive.
I voted for No. I always start a new discussion myself.
It's not because the search doesn't work, though I *have* had incomplete results from it. It's not because I don't know it's there. I voted for the second entry because because I'm a regular who asks fairly few questions, and for the few times I do start a new thread I would like to specifically make a new discussion. I already pretty much know what a search will (or won't) turn up.
But what decisions will get made due to my choice of #2, which contributed a fair percentage to the results since only 11 people have voted so far? That the "Ask a Question" field should be eliminated?

Having bad luck asking questions in this forum...

I wonder if there is a better way or better visibility in this forum? All my questions go unanswered..
Is there a specified format or does it depend on the location?
Thanks..

Hi palkin,
"All my questions go unanswered.."
Wow, you made 4 posts so far. 4 posts in 3 threads (including this one). 2 of those threads got answers. One answer arrived just one hour after questioning - on an early Monday morning! What more do you want/expect?
You know this is a forum of enthusiastic people, ginving answers without any payment? We have to work and do our own stuff too!

My question asked on the SharePoint forum has disappeared ?!

Hello,
Yesterday Nov 5, 2009 I've posted a question having the following title:
"Cannot connect to default SharePoint web site by using a limited account ?"
The web address was this:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadmin/thread/936ea710-5749-41ca-81e7-2df0f71adfb2
Today Nov 6, 2009, the question has disappeared and I cannot access it anymore.
In "My Profile" activities, I see this information, however it's not accessible anymore
Alexandru Matei has asked a question Cannot connect to default SharePoint web site by using a limited account ?! in the SharePoint - Setup, Upgrade, Administration and Operation forum.
12 hours and 16 minutes ago.

When you delete a message you need to give a reason. I then do. If the forum software meant for instance that people who posted a deleted message were shown that reason, the problem would be solved.
Your suggestion of a message saying "Message Deleted Due To Rules Violation" would in this particular kind of case (a new thread) mean there would be a new off-topic thread in the forum. If I delete a post in a thread (vary rare occurence but occasionally
needed) then I do post a message in the thread explaining why.
Usually these days I edit away additional exclamation marks (1 or more); additional question marks (more than one); trailing "...."; use of "Help" in Titles; use of "Urgent" in Titles; and change CAPS to non-caps in Titles (and tell people in the visible
"why edited" the reason for the edit). However if there are two such techniques in use to try to push a post ahead of the queue (for instance URGENT!) then I will still delete.
There are guidelines for Moderators but in the end it is up to the individual Moderators of a set of forums just where they want to draw the line. My particular dislike is a) for people who think their question is more important than anyone elses and thus
try the above kinds for techniques to push their posts ahead of the queue (includes saying in the text that they want an answer asap) and b) people who are so eager for points that they ask (typically) in their sig people to mark their posts as answers
(or indeed those people who propose their own posts as answers).
The key thing is that the Moderator(s) is consistent.
(I used to edit the first examples of things like exclamation marks but then delete the ca sixth or more in a session because I was by then irritated. That wasn't consistent. Now I edit the ones with a single violation and delete the ones with duplicate
violations. That is consistent and is punishing the main offenders rather than the person (as here) whose post I read sixth in a session.)
You ask about other rules for deleting ...
A. There was someone who in almost every post said that "it's very urgent". I edited out all these and asked him in the reason not to continue writing this. He kept on doing it. Finally I wrote in the reason that if he kept writing this I would
delete his posts. It had no effect so I deleted his next post (which naturally also said "it's very urgent").
You have to have the option of deleting posts if someone refuses to follow the "rules" for that set of forums. It's not a hammer that is needed very often (once or twice a year maybe) but it needs to be there.
B. There is a guy who only ever makes posts that propose the use of his product. (He also never says that it is his product). This is using the forums as a marketing tool and as such is forbidden so his posts get deleted as spam. (There is of course more
obvious spam - here it's the pattern of posts that make it spam).
If say someone answers a lot of forum questions and occasionaly has a post suggesting the use of his product (and is open about it being his product) in a thread where thats's a reasonable post then it's OK. Key is that the % fits (roughly 90% good product-neutral
posts).
C. Spam. (Obvious spam that is)
D. Posts designed to provoke a reply from the same person that suggests a product.
These are sneaky ones. Post One: "Hi, I'm looking for a product that does XX". Post Two (same poster sometimes with different display name): I found this product that suits my needs.
You need to be wide awake to see these but they do occasionally happen. Usually spotted because that product is suggested by the same person in other threads. Sometimes though they are simply not as clever as they think they are.
E. Duplicate posts
If intentionally then usually sent to two different forums. (Leading to parallel threads)
If unintentional then sent to the same forum 10 mins later because the assumption is made the first post didn't make it-
F. Posting the identical question both in an existing thread and as a new thread.
Here the Moderator decides which of the two to delete. Roughly delete the new thread if the post to a thread was to a current, active thread; remove the post in a thread if the thread was old, inactive and leave the new thread.
Again leads to parallel threads and again wastes people's time because the question could well be already answered in the other location.
G. People who search the forums for a particular phrase and then post the same message to all the threads they find via the search. They don't care if the previous post in the thread was several YEARS ago or if the thread was already closed.
Once the pattern has been spotted, all the posts are deleted.
(These are people out to get points and/or to push people towards their blogs. Replies in Dec 2010 to threads started in 2007 and ended in (say) 2008 help no-one.)
Is that enough for you to be getting on with :)

How to effectively ask a question on this forum

Ok, so this'll take a little explaining. I was kinda bored over my lunch break, so i decided I'd write a general reference for how to post well on this forum. I realize that many people aren't gonna read this the first time they post, but i thought it would be a good thing to reference when replying to people who post a poor question.
_10 Ways to Post a Good Question on this Forum_
_1) Write a descriptive subject line_
This is the first thing that people see, and it influences how they read a question. Subjects like "Java error" tell people nothing about your problem. Subjects like "How to implement a SAX parser for use in multiple classes" are infinitely more useful.
_2) Don't use phrases such as URGENT or HELP ME!!! or IT'S DUE IN AN HOUR!!!!_
The people on this forum don't have the same priorities as you, and therefore don't care if your problem is urgent. In fact, they find it rude to assert that your problem should be solved before somebody else's just because you procrastinated. They also don't pleas for help too fondly. Typically posters who write this sort of phrase in their post has given up and become helpless, making it very difficult to guide them to the answer. Also, keep the caps lock off. THERE IS NOTHING MORE ANNOYING THAN ALL-CAPS POSTS. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE YELLING, and people will make you aware of how it annoys them.
_3) Dont post your homework assignments asking for "teh codez"_
You will get flamed like none other for this sort of question. You may get codes, but when you submit them to your instructor, you may get suspended or expelled (depending on your school's cheating policy). The people on this forum are more advanced than you in Java, and can make it painfully obvious to your instructor that you cheated.
_4) Write in normal English_
Think of this forum as your supervisor or instructor, you want to sound professional and convey your question effectively. SMS speak or any other sort of abbreviation of the English language becomes difficult to read, and many people on this forum won't even try. This forum is filled with professionals in the Java world, and they are accustomed to reading true English (full sentences).
_5) Don't be helpless_
This forum is here mainly to help with specific problems, not to teach you Java. If you don't know where to start, a person is most likely going to tell you to write the solution out on paper first, breaking it down into small steps that can be accomplished by the computer.
_6) Do your research_
Many of the questions posted can be solved with a quick Google search. You should check a few places before you even post a question. They include: this forum (do a forum search), Google (do a Google search), the API's (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/), and the Java Tutorials(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/)
_7) Post code and errors with your question_
The answer to your problem is in the error messages and the code. Instead of asking a general question about for loops, post the code that you have written and the error info that you get. When asking a question it is IMPERATIVE that you have tried to do it your own way, because the people on the forum mostly won't do it for you, they'll only point out where you have done it wrong and try to help you fix it. Don't paraphrase your error messages, because there are subtleties in the actual messages that you may unknowingly edit out.
_8) Don't Multi-post_
It is rude to post the same question multiple times or in multiple places in the this forum. This is for the same reason as #2, it makes it seem that you think your problem is more urgent or important than others' problems.
_9) Don't resurrect dead threads_
If a thread is 3 years old, nobody is going to remember it, so make a new thread to ask your question. If you have a question about something in the old thread, reference it through a hyperlink.
_10) Take it easy_
As long as the people in the forum see that you're legitimately trying to help yourself, they'll help you as much as they see fit. The biggest problem that newbies have is they rely on the forum to spoonfeed them the info, and it's not going to happen. They'll either get flamed or ignored. The people on the forum aren't trying to find "fresh meat to flame", they legitimately want to help you, and they'll typically give you fair warning if you're doing something annoying or unorthodox.

There does seem to be a way to sticky posts, but I think only mods and admins have the power to do it. There's one over on the Generics forum : http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=316
I've been trying to add a pseudo-signature to my posts as far as possible, with a link to a page which pretty much covers this stuff, only it's on JavaRanch:
People on the forum help others voluntarily, it's not their job.
Help them help you.
Learn how to ask questions first: http://faq.javaranch.com/java/HowToAskQuestionsOnJavaRanch
But I've had a couple of occasions where the OPs thought it was directed at them and they got a tad upset :)
And without hyperlinks, I'm not quite sure how many people actually take the pains to go to that page.
Ah well, no one can say I didn't try.

In this forum, where do I find my previously asked question?

I just posted a question to this forum, and was asked to create a login, which I did. But I can not see the question anywhere. Shouldn't I be able to trace it when I am logged in?

Found the question. But it was hard. Why can't I see it when clickin dashboard under my name in the top right corner?

When i got my i phone they had me answer questions for security and now i went to itunes to buy something and they asked me totally different questions...so now i cant buy things from itunes..can i reset or change the questions

when i got my i phone they had me answer questions for security and now i went to itunes to buy something and they asked me totally different questions...so now i cant buy things from itunes..can i reset or change the questions

Welcome to the Apple community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go tomanage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

OT: Please search forum before asking questions (was:IMPORTANT FOR ALL !!!!)

i want to see a new question , all of your questions has a answers in the forum please searsh before you asking , Thanks

It is true that most people do not search the forum. They are usually concentrating on their problem and not realizing that most of the time someone had that problem before them and the question has been answered. Earlier, I had a post entitled "Most Asked Questions". Maybe we should have a FAQ blog or something to compile those questions again with some examples???

Ask the Expert: Different Flavors and Design with vPC on Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches

Welcome to the Cisco® Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about Cisco® NX-OS.
The biggest limitation to a classic port channel communication is that the port channel operates only between two devices. To overcome this limitation, Cisco NX-OS has a technology called virtual port channel (vPC). A pair of switches acting as a vPC peer endpoint looks like a single logical entity to port channel attached devices. The two devices that act as the logical port channel endpoint are actually two separate devices. This setup has the benefits of hardware redundancy combined with the benefits offered by a port channel, for example, loop management.
vPC technology is the main factor for success of Cisco Nexus® data center switches such as the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series, Nexus 7000 Series, and Nexus 2000 Series Switches.
This event is focused on discussing all possible types of vPC along-with best practices, failure scenarios, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) recommendations and troubleshooting
Vishal Mehta is a customer support engineer for the Cisco Data Center Server Virtualization Technical Assistance Center (TAC) team based in San Jose, California. He has been working in TAC for the past 3 years with a primary focus on data center technologies, such as the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches, Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®), Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch, and virtualization. He presented at Cisco Live in Orlando 2013 and will present at Cisco Live Milan 2014 (BRKCOM-3003, BRKDCT-3444, and LABDCT-2333). He holds a master’s degree from Rutgers University in electrical and computer engineering and has CCIE® certification (number 37139) in routing and switching, and service provider.

This event lasts through August 29, 2014. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other Cisco Support Community members.

Hello Gustavo
Please see my responses to your questions:
Yes almost all routing protocols use Multicast to establish adjacencies. We are dealing with two different type of traffic –Control Plane and Data Plane.
Control Plane: To establish Routing adjacency, the first packet (hello) is punted to CPU. So in the case of triangle routed VPC topology as specified on the Operations Guide Link, multicast for routing adjacencies will work. The hellos packets will be exchanged across all 3 routers and adjacency will be formed over VPC links
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/operations/n5k_L3_w_vpc_5500platform.html#wp999181
Now for Data Plane we have two types of traffic – Unicast and Multicast.
The Unicast traffic will not have any forwarding issues, but because the Layer 3 ECMP and port channel run independent hash calculations there is a possibility that when the Layer 3 ECMP chooses N5k-1 as the Layer 3 next hop for a destination address while the port channel hashing chooses the physical link toward N5k-2. In this scenario,N5k-2 receives packets from R with the N5k-1 MAC as the destination MAC.
Sending traffic over the peer-link to the correct gateway is acceptable for data forwarding, but it is suboptimal because it makes traffic cross the peer link when the traffic could be routed directly.
For that topology, Multicast Traffic might have complete traffic loss due to the fact that when a PIM router is connected to Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switches in a vPC topology, the PIM join messages are received only by one switch. The multicast data might be received by the other switch.
The Loop avoidance works little different across Nexus 5000 and Nexus 7000.
Similarity: For both products, loop avoidance is possible due to VSL bit
The VSL bit is set in the DBUS header internal to the Nexus.
It is not something that is set in the ethernet packet that can be identified. The VSL bit is set on the port asic for the port used for the vPC peer link, so if you have Nexus A and Nexus B configured for vPC and a packet leaves Nexus A towards Nexus B, Nexus B will set the VSL bit on the ingress port ASIC. This is not something that would traverse the peer link.
This mechanism is used for loop prevention within the chassis.
The idea being that if the port came in the peer link from the vPC peer, the system makes the assumption that the vPC peer would have forwarded this packet out the vPC-enabled port-channels towards the end device, so the egress vpc interface's port-asic will filter the packet on egress.
Differences: In Nexus 5000 when it has to do L3-to-L2 lookup for forwarding traffic, the VSL bit is cleared and so the traffic is not dropped as compared to Nexus 7000 and Nexus 3000.
It still does loop prevention but the L3-to-L2 lookup is different in Nexus 5000 and Nexus 7000.
For more details please see below presentation:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/sites/default/files/session_14-_nexus.pdf
DCI Scenario: If 2 pairs are of Nexus 5000 then separation of L3/L2 links is not needed.
But in most scenarios I have seen pair of Nexus 5000 with pair of Nexus 7000 over DCI or 2 pairs of Nexus 7000 over DCI. If Nexus 7000 are used then L3 and L2 links are required for sure as mentioned on above presentation link.
Let us know if you have further questions.
Thanks,
Vishal

As of SAP Business One 2007 A March patch, the supported formats in both the application and SDK for graphics are JPG, BMP, PNG and PCX. In a future release the Online Help is to be updated with this information.
Please see therefore the following note:
[SAP Note 1137796 - Approved picture formats JPG, BMP, PNG, PCX update help|http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/smb_searchnotes/display2.htm?note_langu=E&note_numm=1137796]
6. How to know which field name related to which DB field name?
See therefore the [SAP Business One Help file|http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000187612007] - Search: "System Information" (1 st entry )
The left-hand corner of the status bar displays field and error messages.
To display field position the cursor over a specific field and see that the field name and length appear. In addition, you can display for each field on a window. First, choose View --> System Information. Then, position the cursor over a field and see relevant to that field appears.
Different types of messages appear in the status bar.
7. How can I do a development request for SAP Business One?
If the request is about a non-legal issue please post your request in the [SAP Business One Product Development Collaboration forum|/community [original link is broken];. If the requested function covers a legal issue use the template from the note below.
Please see therefore the following note:
[SAP Note 1028874 - Missing Functionality / Product Development Collaboration|http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/smb_searchnotes/display2.htm?note_langu=E&note_numm=1028874]
8. What is the scope of support for SDK (e.g. partner asked support to provide an example of code for an issue)?
SAP Business One Product Support will support issues where an issue is present due to an application error. However, in particular when it concerns any kind of customization, we would like to ask before logging any issue to support to locate the area where the issue occurs, i.e. in case of queries or SDK code to only send us the part of the code/query where the error appears or respectively a simplified sample of the code/query. The same applies for other customizations like PLD, XLReporter, etc.
See also [SAP Note 1012023|http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/smb_searchnotes/display2.htm?note_langu=E&note_numm=1012023]
9. How do I do to block user access to TOOLS menu => User table?
define an additional authorization for the tables you would like to put restrictions on. So, please go to the
Administration -> System Initialization -> Authorizations -> Additional Authorization Creator
and then create an additional authorization by giving its Permission ID and Name, and specify the Form ID in the lower left part of the window (to find the Form ID you should set the Debug Information active under the View menu, and then hover your cursor over the form window, then you will see the Form ID at the bottom line of the SAP Business One window).
10. What is the scope of support for the demo DB?
Please note that for Demo DBs only reproducible bugs are being supported. There is no support for database corruptions, as Demo DBs are not meant for productive use and a clean Demo DB can be installed for testing purposes.
See also [SAP Note 1099700|http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/smb_searchnotes/display2.htm?note_langu=E&note_numm=1099700]

Had to change my Apple ID because the original email address is no longer valid. How do I change the iCloud user name on iMac? I found instructions about signing out of iCloud and signing back end. It asks questions about contact, etc.

Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid. Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those? That just sort of freaks me out.

For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.
Cheers,
GB

When I try to import .olm files from my external hard drive back up, where do they go? It says on different forums they go to the "on my computer" folder but they are not there

When I try to import .olm files from my external hard drive back up, where do they go? It says on different forums they go to the "on my computer" folder but they are not there.
I go through all the instructions but then my emails do not appear. I'm starting to panic a bit!

You might want to try asking on the MS Office Outlook forum - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook - since those are Outlook files.
Also note which method you're using to create a backup.

Perhaps it would be better placed in the Java -> Development Tools -> General Questions forum (?):

2 questions about this forum

Since the forums have been reorganized (yeah, I know its been a while). I never fail to be confused when I try to use them.
For instance:
1) At the top of the list of questions for adobe Bridge general discussion, I see the Heading:
"Trending Questions"
What on earth is that supposed to mean. What does "trending" mean in this unusual usage?
2) How can I get an advanced search dialog for this particular forum? When I click on the `Be sure to search the forum' link it just pops me to a new page apparently 1 layer back from this forum to Bridge with the lamest search dialog I've seen on any forum.
I'd like to search for a particular poster, or a particular date range or etc etc. How can I do that?

Curt Y wrote:
Had to do a little research as "trending questions" was a puzzler. You are looking at the bridge general discussion page, and I always bring up the Bridge Forum page where trending is not there. Think it refers to current questions.
Some forums have a "search this forum only" box, but none has been set up here. You can the user name and have it return posts. If you know the subject it is still more complete search to use google.
Back on an older thread ... You mention "Bringing up" the bridge forum on a different page than the one with that silly "Trending questions" baloney.
I'm curious how you do that... when I find the forums, ususally from a google search with "Adobe forums" Bridge or insert another adobe product where you see "Bridge" in the string. That always lands me at the page with "Trending Questions" and with no obvious way to get to the actual forum other than a list near the top of page that includes "Bridge: General Discussion"... ok, clicking that again brings a page with the "Trending questions" non-sense.
At that point the only way I see to get to the actual forum is to click one of the "Trending questions", from that page you can see a link at the top that says: " Adobe Community > Bridge > Bridge General Discussion > Discussions "
where you can finally get to a usable forum page.
One could, of course, book mark that... but it seems like a very unnecessary and convoluted path to find a usable forum.
I'm guessing there is some other obvious way I'm not seeing?
