Beginners Forum perhaps needed

Hi everybody
First a Happy New Year to everyone.
Recently there seems to be a huge tendency on these Forums for a large number of really basic questions such as I'm the Logistics manager but I don't know what MARA does, or "could you please post the code" for some very elementary problem that a beginning abapper on day one could have coded in 5 mins.
Most of these posters appear judging by their names to come from the Indian sub continent (or related countries).
We all have to learn somewhere but some of the questions are actually so basic you have to wonder if the posters have ever actually used a SAP system.
If these guys are genuinely working at customers sites I would suggest that the whole "Offshoring" exercise is going to be a total and unmitigated disaster.
Overseas Telephone call centres for example have provoked such an outrage in the UK that companies are now advertising the fact that they ONLY use UK call centres in spite of the higher cost.
I think the same thing will happen with a lot of I.T offshoring - the cost savings and efficiencies promised just don't appear in practice.
However to get back to the point I think a  Real Beginners Forum perhaps could be a place where these really elementary questions could be posted without problems elswhere on other Forums.
Cheers
jimbo

Hi Jimbo:
Even when I hate those kind of "super newbie" questions...That's a natural thing on a forum like this...People can do that for a couple of reasons...They are really dumb to lie on their resumes and need help, or they are just point hunters...Anyway...It's hard to tell, so we can't do much about it...
The "Newbie forum" thing had been proposed too many times, and it's an option, because people are going to keep posting whenever they want...We had a Form Printing Forum, but some people post on Scripting Languages and ABAP forums instead...
I'm sure that you had seen the "Report Abuse" icon...Well, you and other SCN members must it to help us (The Moderators) to keep track and manage those kind of questions...
Greetings,
Blag.

  • NEWBIES: your input needed, Beginners Forum

    If you've been reading other posts... it appears that there seems to be some disagreement brewing.
    Anyhow, what i've done:
    I went to another forum called
    "NEW FORUM SUGGESTIONS" & started a post there called "BEGINNERS FORUM". Maybe if enough requests are made, we could separate the truly "new & really needing assistance" from the "that was a stupid question crowd".

    Your compiler should tell you exactly what and where the problem is - look on the line it references and look for something you call a method on, the problem is either that the reference you call a method on is null, or some method you call is throwing it. Throw in some debug statements to try and figure out what went null and where.
    If you can't post the relevant code here between [code] & [/code] tags and we can try and track it down.
    Good Luck

  • Forum moderator needs CS6

    Hello
    I am moderator of "community Help France" and I have creative suite CS4. I wonder if Adobe has an upgrad for moderators because I don't know how to moderate a version if I don't know them.
    without upgrad, remove me as moderators because I will be useless ...
    I Call adobe France without solution and tchat with Adobe through the pages of moderators also unresolved ...

    Hello
    So far, no sign of life from Adobe France ... I made some tutorials for CS4 (videoto brain, Adobe Tv), I manage web forums whose "repaire numérique" (www.repaire.net ) especially those whose adobe and it is unfortunate, the little consideration for its Adobe representatives but it doesn't matter, I spend on something else.

  • Hello Forum, you need a serial ports for software icprog to program EPROM and Pic

    Hello Forum, you need a serial ports for software icprog to program EPROM and Pic.I was wondering if this or a similar card is compatible with my Lenovo Desktop h50-50 -->  -> PCI-E 2 serial ports and 1 parallel port PCI-Controller Card 3 Port ► http://fli.zz.mu/cut/scheda-pci-e-2-porte-seriali-1-porta-parallela .
    My my Lenovo Desktop h50-50 upgrade to win 10,  If it is not compatible to win 10. I could use it too virtualizing win Xp? Thank since TIME FOR ANSWERS, I apologize for my bad English.
    THANK Joe  

    Unfortunately, no Sanyo phones are iSync compatible so you will not be able to synchronize your Contacts and Calendars with the phone.
    Also, you may have problems with the Bluetooth adapter you purchased, as the only one officially supported by Apple for use with Macs is the D-Link DBT-120.
    The Official Apple list of iSync compatible devices is here:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
    It's always a good idea to check this list before purchasing a new phone.
    Other phones are supported by third party plugins from here and here. But still no Samsung, Sanyo, LG etc. who all use thier own proprietary syncing protocols rather than the industry standard SyncML. These manufacturers also don't provide Mac software with their phones like the do for Windows users.
    I'm afraid you're not going to have much luck if you stick with the Sanyo. I would seriously consider taking it back and swapping it for one of the handsets on the above linked pages. Personally I would recommend a Sony Ericsson model. I've always had excellent Mac compatibility with those.

  • Leopard Wireless Dropouts - Tried all reccomended forum fixes - need help

    I need to add my name to the list of people who are having genuine problems with the wireless networking in leopard. I am the primary systems admin for a school, and responsible for maintaining an install base of over 250 intel macbooks. Since upgrading to leopard we have had many many wireless issues.
    We have 3com wx1200 wireless controllers running numerous 3com 3750 and 2750 access points. The security is WPA2 with PSK authentication (though I can shut the security right off without any improvements in reliability). Macbooks will consistantly drop the connection to the wireless requiring a "turn airport off" and "turn airport on" to re-establish the connection, which works about half of the time.... Many times the machines need to be rebooted. It seems as though our original core duo macbooks are the most affected, though the problem exists on all our macbooks running leopard. (currently 10.5.5) *Rebuilding any of the affected laptops with tiger instantly clears up any problems*. No tiger machines, and no windows machines have any issues with the connection drops. I've tried every documented suggested fix on the numerous other threads here where people are having this exact same issue. I've eliminated all the variables and my problem seems to be leopard alone, or perhaps leopard in conjuction with this particular wireless infrastructure. Regardless, it's time that this problem is officially acknowledged and that some strides are made to remedy it. I'd be very happy and available to work with apple engineers on this problem. I can provide whatever logs or dumps you need.
    This is one of two unacknowledged widespread issues that is shooting us in the foot. We are also plagued by the problem where faulty parental controls partially restrict access to secure sites (in our case google docs). This bug is also all over the forums and goes unresolved.
    Any ideas or suggestions (other than permissions repairs, keychain repairs, and upgrading router firmware - it's all been done!) would be most appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Neil

    These are actually user to user forums - a place for fellow Mac users to get together and swap troubleshooting ideas.
    However Apple Engineering does not read these boards on an official basis, so we can complain about something all day but until it makes its way through AppleCare to engineering it won't get on the engineers' work queues.
    The other way to file a bug is to register for a free Apple Developer Connection Online account, which will then allow you to file bugs via the Apple Bug Reporter.

  • My external hard drive won't mount and shows a 'sibling link error'. I've seached the forums but need a very dumbed down set of tips for the computer illiterate- help?

    The forums have suggestions on this topic but I don't understand the lingo used.

    Remember card catalogs in libraries?   The computer has its own card catalog that tells it where all the files are.  That's known as the directory.
    Sibling link error indicates something is wrong with one of the cards, making the computer lost.  Now the computer will put forth a bunch of gobbledy gook to fix this error, but you can do it. 
    Since the issue is with the external hard disk, you must select it with Disk Utility's First Aid selected.   There you will repair the disk.   If it can't repair the disk, you will need to use a more powerful tool.  The question is, is your data backed up elsewhere, or is it not?  If it is not, the same symptoms of a bad directory can also implicate a dying hard drive.  You'll want a data recovery tool if you aren't backed up.  If you are backed up, and there is nothing that can't be replaced on that external hard drive, get Alsoft Disk Warrior.  This should fix most bad sibling link errors repair disk can't.  When it can't, you can give up on the external hard disk.
    P.S. Permissions has NOTHING to do with the directory.  Do not worry about issues with permissions or attempting to repair it at this stage.

  • {Edited per forum guidelines} Need assistance NOW‏

    Best Buy
    I am appalled by the lack of empowerment your associates are given. After an hour of being told "no" by your in-store associates about a replacement phone which was approved for junk out replacement, I now have to deal with the product being shipped to my home. The subject line order number was shipped with UPS and delivery was attempted today. I am not home during the day because I WORK FOR A LIVING. Tracking number {Edited per forum guidelines}  
    After contacting UPS, they state only the shipper can change the terms for package to be held at a UPS facility for pick up. I called 888-best-buy and am now told UPS will not allow them to change the terms to be held at my local UPS facility. They tell me I MUST wait another 5 days until UPS makes 3 delivery attempts and then is obligated to hold for 7 days. I do not want to and cannot wait that long. 
    I should have been made whole the day I went to the store to pick up a replacement phone. I begrudgingly accepted it to be shipped to me and now look at where I am. I use this phone for my job and this is unacceptable. I need someone to take action immediately and have UPS hold the package. I also suggest changing your UPS contract to give your associates the ability to make this change.
    Who is going to fight for their customer's satisfaction and do everything they can to keep business profitable? Anyone care enough?
    Anthony {Edited per forum guidelines}

    Good afternoon Anthony,
    Having been without a phone for quite some time before due to theft, I know all too well the inconvenience of being without a working phone. It seems that we were able to provide you with a new phone under your Geek Squad Protection plan, which I’m glad to hear. Although it also seems we weren't able to provide you a replacement immediately in store, leading us to order one for you.
    After three failed delivery attempts, packages are typically sent back to the sender. When we receive items back, we would process a return and refund to the original form of payment. When placing an order, if you may not be available for the delivery, especially if the package would require a signature as it would for some cell phone orders, you may choose store pickup to avoid the item being returned to us due to failed deliveries. We typically hold items for 8 days before canceling the order and processing a refund. For more information on store pickup, you can visit the Store Pickup page on BestBuy.com.
    Using the information you provided, I was able to locate your order and see that it is on the delivery truck for a second attempt at delivery today. Unfortunately, we cannot modify orders in the way you are requesting. I apologize if this has caused you any inconvenience, as I can understand why this may be frustrating. I will be keeping an eye on this order, and should this order be sent back to us, I will work with you to see what options we have for you at that time.
    If you should have any questions, please let me know.
    Sincerely,
    Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

    The people who make the free forums (phpBB or SMF for
    example) do it for
    free in there own time and are experts in there field. They
    need to be,
    forums are complicated and prone to being hacked, so security
    is your
    number one concern.
    Most can be integrated into your site with a bit of work, but
    thats much
    less work than creating your forum.

  • New Jdev forum categories needed?

    I'm wondering if this forum needs to split into seperate categories? Some days you can post a question and by the afternoon or next day, it's moved 3 pages or more back and not answered. If you bump it to the first page by doing a dummy post you have a better chance of getting a response.
    a couple of Jdev subforums could be:
    + ADF/UIX/Faces
    + JClient/ADF
    + Web Services
    IMHO..

    I still agree with Brenden. JDeveloper is one of the most active forums on OTN, because it's a single forum for a developer tool which does everything. (a quick look and the only other 2 forums which attract so many posts are Development Suite->Forms and Database->SQL/PLSQL).
    Cross posting is an issue, but if you look at the database forums, they split it up into "General" and then everything else (SQL, OCI etc). Why can't JDeveloper do the same such that posters who don't know where to post can put it in JDeveloper->General? Have a little faith that the posters know where to post as well (and besides cross-posting is an issue of all forum technology anyhow so don't avoid splitting the forums because of this issue alone).
    And while I understand splitting the JDev forums up into separate areas creates more work for the JDev team in monitoring multiple forums, what about the hundreds if not thousands of us, your users, who have to search through all the 80000+ posts in the one JDev forum every day! Forums exist for us, as much as they do for you, so make it easier for us too please!
    Even if you still disagree with us.... at which point will you change your mind? I note that depending on the search criteria supplied using the search util, that certain queries take ages to return results. Rather than searching the 80,000 posts, wouldn't splitting the forum up help with the speed issue?
    Have a rethink please JDev team.
    Regards,
    CM.

    Thanks,

    In order to not affect other things, just open AR9 before you start IE8. You will likely get comments about AR and AA not being compatible and that is an issue you have to be careful with. Also, note that if you delete either, you will have to repair the other. They will work together, but issues like you are having will continue to be an issue.

  • Repost from soundtrack pro forum: advice needed on how to master a dj mix.

    i posted the info below on the soundtrack pro forum and someone suggested i use waveburner to master my dj mix after it's been recorded:
    when i record a mix in soundtrack pro, it's 1 long song. sometimes certain parts of the mix come in at a lower volume than other parts because some records or songs aren't as loud as the previous song that it was mixed out of.
    how can i bring up the volume on the lower parts and make them equally as loud as the other songs? or, how do i level out the volume without making the mix sound worse?
    any advice on getting the EQs and other settings right would be appreciated.
    if anything's not clear, please let me know.
