Best of the Month – September '14

It has been almost 6 long years since our forum was launched. You would think by now people would have run out of new and different issues to report here… and you would be wrong. September saw over 15 thousand new topics where customers reported of various issues with their HP products, which over 5 million visitors read with interest. It goes without saying that like always, our experts never shied away from helping them to their fullest. This month, one of the two people we want to specially recognize is overly familiar in this blog, while the other one isn’t familiar at all. Top Contributor Although you may have already guessed it, I still will give a huge shout-out to our consistent chart-topper Paul_Tikkanen, who was again the top contributor this month. Paul made a whopping 1472 posts, out of which 255 solved customers’ issues, while he also received 424 kudos as appreciation. Day by day, Paul’s fan base increases, which you can see by this two great examples. ‘Thank You’ note 1: Thank you very much!!!
You have no idea how many hours days and weeks I tried to figure out something for this (and made me nervous)...
So now I'm happy, thanks to you!!! ‘Thank You’ note 2: Thank you. You are a BABE! Special Recognition: This month’s special recognition goes to a very new member of our community, Visruth. Although he is not yet a part of our Expert club, he does not fall very far behind them with his helping spirit. In the short time he has been in this Forum, he has already made a huge contribution here and solved 381 topics. This month he shined the most, as he made 698 posts in the forum and solved 93 of them. 173 people thanked him by giving him kudos. That’s not the only way they thanked him, as you can see in the examples below. ‘Thank You’ note 1: YAY!!! You are AMAZING, THANK YOU so much!!! ‘Thank You’ note 2: Thank you very much. Best service I have ever had. Support Highlights Each month we share “shout-outs” for team members who keep the community vibrant and vital.

Best of the Month – October '14

Time passes, months go by, technologies evolve and replace their old selves… but the Forum doesn’t grow old, at least not by its sprit. It still has the same rush of customers swarming through its boards, trying to get help for their HP products and the same enthusiasm of the forum experts jumping in to help them, maybe even more than before. Take October for instance; More than 5.8 million customers visited our forum this month and created over 16 thousand new topics. The experts maintained their momentum by creating more than 19 thousand replies and solving around 2,000 topics. In the October edition of this blog, we want to specially acknowledge the efforts of three people who went an extra mile to help the community members. Top Contributor The best of the month blog isn’t complete without Paul’s name in it and Paul doesn’t disappoint the readers this month either. He is still the reigning king of the contributors’ leaderboard. In October, Paul contributed 1246 posts in the Forum and solved 206 of them. He made a lot of fans, as 346 customers appreciated his help by giving him kudos. Here are a couple of comments from his fans. ‘Thank You’ Note 1: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've been trying to resolve this problem for the whole day. ‘Thank You’ Note 2: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! A solution that finally worked! Special Recognition: The first person we want to recognize this month is ManjunathTech. He is a committed individual and terrific Expert, who recently inspired quite a few people to join the expert family. Learn more about him in this article in the Expert Portal section. Manjunath made an impressive 639 posts this month, out of which 55 were solved. He received 147 kudos as appreciation and also some wonderful thank you notes. Here are a couple of them. ‘Thank You’ Note 1: It is working and I am so happy now. Thank you very much for your assistance. ‘Thank You’ Note 2: I must say, you response was not only fast, but also EXTREMELY helpful!! Thank you so much! The other person we want to specially recognize this month is KNRK. He is a very new member of our community, joined just a few months back and is yet to become an expert. However, what he may lack in experience, he sure makes up with his sheer energy and passion to help customers. KNRK made a huge 1058 posts in October and solved 97 of them. He received appreciation from 204 customers on return, along with some pleasant comments. Here are a couple of the comments. ‘Thank You’ Note 1: Worked, thanks so much KNRK! ‘Thank You’ Note 2: Thank you KNRK, you are a life saver. PCI Device link worked like a charm.

Best of the Month – July '14

It’s a common occurrence. You’re in the audience at a rock concert, jazz club or orchestral recital and the sound system doesn’t work. An anxious singer or musician taps her microphone…to no avail. Invariably, an alert technician leaps forward, jogs across the stage, fiddles with the A/V system and…Voila! The sound comes on with a high-pitched whir.
Like concert audio technicians, HP Support Forum Experts are backstage heroes. They ensure everything stays up and running for our highly valued participants, who make tens of millions of web and mobile visits to the HP forums each month.
This month, we’re recognizing a few of our top performers with a sound “check” of our own. We’d also like to bring to your attention our quarterly Expert Days, commencing August 27–28.
Top Contributor
Our lead problem-solver in July was DavidPK, who joined the HP Support Forum in September 2010. Since then, he has amassed an impressive tally. He has read more than 51,000 messages and posted nearly 31,000 replies. He has authored upwards of 4,560 total Solutions and received almost 9,000 Kudos for helping community participants resolve their computing problems.
Those familiar with DavidPK know he’s extremely active on the Lockups & Freezes boards. He’s eager to assist people in getting their desktop PCs, notebooks and tablets back to peak performance. This recent post (in French) explains why DavidPK, who resides across The Pond, is beloved by HP Support Forum participants around the globe.
For the month of July, he received 309 Kudos and was credited with 248 Accepted Solutions.
Special Recognition
This month’s Special Recognition goes to two notable Experts: a Volunteer and an HP Employee.
The word venerable comes to mind for old_geekster, who refers to 1984 as the date he got hooked on personal computers. A veteran volunteer on the HP Support Forum, old_geekster joined the boards six years ago. He is patient and generous with his time, as his total stats reflect. Since 2008, he has replied to nearly 9,400 posts and received more than 2,700 Kudos.
Recently, old_geekster has been revving up the forum and cooling down anxious participants. During the past six months he has read a whopping 26,842 messages and responded with 1,901 posts (as of July 30). He has spent more than 27,000 minutes online and received 272 Accepted Solutions for his qualitative efforts.
One of many veterans who joined the HP Support Forum in 2008, Miles is a well-recognized product Expert and leader in the printing group at HP. In fact, he is our “go-to-guy” for many of the toughest questions we encounter in the printing realm.
Miles works behind the scenes to ensure all forum Experts receive detailed product information and documentation support to help them answer community participants’ questions. He communicates regularly with HP Support Forum volunteers, moderators and managers and conducts weekly meetings to resolve complex printer issues. In addition to staying abreast of HP printer updates, Miles provides forum Experts with backstage product support, educating them about new technologies on the horizon. He also participates regularly in our quarterly Expert Days.

Best of the Month – August '14

On Expert Day, do what Experts do. Set new records! That’s what the HP Support Forum did in August. With preliminary estimates exceeding 8 million total visits to our online community this month, we’re on track to surpass January’s record-setting combined web and mobile visits.
In fact, it’s acutely obvious that social media platforms like this one are thriving. Our web visits exceeded 250,000 per day on numerous occasions this month. The forum averaged more than 230,000 daily visits in August compared to 210,000 average daily web visits during the same month a year ago and approximately 200,000 average daily web visits in July 2014.
The month also featured our quarterly Expert Days, which attracted more than 330,000 combined web and mobile visits! The August 27–28 event at HP’s Palo Alto headquarters hosted nearly three dozen Experts who contributed to our record-setting month.
Top Contributor
Speaking of record-setters, Paul_Tikkanen returns as the Top Contributor to the HP Support Forum in August. That makes 11 out of 12 months in which Paul has occupied the top spot among our many superb volunteer Experts.
This response on August 20, from one of the many thousands of Support Forum participants Paul has assisted over the years, typifies his friendly manner and daily impact upon the online community:
“Well sir. You have made my day. Never have I had the pleasure of post and solved in the same day. Ever. Again, I thank you for the help and for your time.”
Paul’s Activity: August 1–30

This month’s Special Recognition goes to Bob_Headrick. A dedicated HP Support Forum contributor since 2008, Bob has read a whopping 700,400-plus messages. Over the past six years he has authored nearly 1,300 Solutions and received more than 4,150 Kudos for his efforts.
In addition to his work as a volunteer Expert, Bob has devoted significant time to the HP printers section. During the past year he has focused on specific technical issues with ink cartridges. He has worked with HP’s product specialists and moderators to bring time-sensitive posts to the attention of the company’s customer escalations group.

Best of the Month – June '14

June and July are World Cup months across the globe. That means a bit less online traffic and a lot more soccer — or futbol, as it is known in most countries.
Although this is the English-language HP Support Forum, June offered daily reminders of just how international this community has become. In addition to our experts and participants in the Far East, throughout Europe and the United Kingdom, we have a very strong presence in Canada as well.
As the Support Highlights that follow reveal, English-speaking community members — from Nova Scotia to Africa — are engaged with HP’s forums each day.
Oley!
I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate Ciara_B. Ciara was recently recognized by HP management for her contribution as “a staunch ambassador of the HP brand.” She was honored with an award that is given only to a handful of employees each quarter — out of more than 300 nominees.
Recognized as an advocate for assisting customers with specific product issues, Ciara set up the “Ink, Toner, Cartridge” board within the HP Forum that enables participants to find online solutions. Ciara_B, who has spent nearly 150,000 minutes online as an Expert, has received approximately 450 Kudos for her efforts over the years.
Hear, hear!
Top Contributor
Who’s numero uno? In any language, Paul_Tikkanen is once again the Top Contributor to the HP Support Forum. That makes 10 straight months Paul has received the number-one ranking among our volunteer Experts.

As we say on the West Coast, Dude!
Special Recognition
This month’s Special Recognition goes to Huffer. His outstanding participation numbers in June placed him second among Volunteers, overall.
As you’ll discover from his mini-profile on our Meet the Experts page, our man Huffer is an attorney. Not surprisingly, he’s rather adept at examining the inner-workings of computers. Community participants who exchange notes with him will quickly discover that Huffer is quite knowledgeable about video-graphics cards. In fact, he has helped many “gamers” work through their board modifications and upgrade quandaries.
As a thought leader, Huffer subtly leverages his legal expertise when helping fellow volunteer Experts understand the ramifications of assisting people with a wide range of sensitive issues.
As they say in soccer, “Sometimes the best offense is a great defense.”

Best approach to report on ports in use during the month

I have been asked to come up with a report once a month outlining the network devices ports that are in use per cust
omer location.
I see the report device manager but it doesnt appear to give the simple number of ports in use by the device during the past 24 hours.
Any thoughts or ideas would be great. It appears our customer doesnt want to pay for installed ports, just ports that are used during the month.
Thanks,

Hi Peter,
You don't say what type of reporting that you want to do? I'm assuming that it is probably something like displaying the last 1000 most recently approved forms or similar?
If that's the case then you may be able to achieve what you need using the Search Core Results Web Part with some clever querying and is likely to be the most performant method.
Once you have a result set back, you can then look at styling this using XSLT in the SCRWP or alternatively look at using the Search Query Model from code in a farm solution/webpart.
Alternatively you could look at using SSIS to extract the data using the SharePoint List into a SQL table on a nightly basis. (This article covers how to get data out of SharePoint and into SSIS..

When the customize window appears FireFox returns to its normal state. I than click on the done box and go back to what I have been doing. I tried resetting FireFox back to default settings, but that did not correct the problem.

I need to schedule a job on 1st full week and 2nd full week of the month. What is the best way to identify the Week and trigger the job? Any input is appreciated.
thx

Hi Jslader,
I agree with the 1st option of Visu - by calendar.
For example, assign the CALENDAR parameter to MNTH-12WK (example only) unless there are predecessors of the job you have created.

Contributor of the Month - November 2011

Taking the honour of being the first Discussions member to have been selected as Contributor of the Month is Psychomania. Hailing from Lancashire in north-west England where he works as a graphic designer and lives in the Colne area with his wife, their cats Robbie and Kylie and various other cute 'n' cuddly mammals. His Nokia phones are probably some of the most heavily-used in the world, helping to provide answers in almost twenty five thousand forum posts in under five years, but for him personally the most important features which he could not live without are good, old-fashioned text messaging, calling and more recently Twitter; though he also admits a habit for mobile photography and a growing liking for Spotify.
A Nokia user for many years with an entire menagerie of Nokia phones in his back-catalogue, Psychomania is currently juggling the two stars of the show - the N9 64Gb and Lumia 800, though when asked which model has been his all-time favourite, he says: "The N82. It was a powerhouse of a phone with a truly great camera! It's also probably the phone I kept using the longest." - and he goes on to say that the one thing he'd really like to see in the future is a device like his current N9 and 800 with a real world-beating camera including Xenon flash and, if possible, optical zoom - R&D boys take note, the gauntlet has been thrown down!
As well as his obvious passion for mobile phones, Psychomania has been a big fan of video gaming since his first ever computer, which was a Commodore 16. He says that one of his key characteristics is that of an avid problem-solver who gets a real buzz from getting to the core of an issue and setting everything right, which is probably why he spends so much time helping Nokia customers on this forum! He quotes his technique as being to "step back, look things over, then dive in feet-first and see what works".
His love of technology also connects to his dream holiday, which would take him to a real techie-heaven like Japan, though there was also a comment about a tent outside the Nokia factory here in Salo - Hmmm, not sure that security would take too kindly to that! Invite him to the cinema and he loves nothing more then a healthy does of Sci-fi and horror, or anything with Samuel L. Jackson; however he's just as much at home spending an evening socialising with friends at the local pub or at home relaxing with his personal zoo. If Psychomania ruled the world for a day, he says that he'd see to it that we all get free beer and pizza!
We decided to update the concept of the BBC's "Desert Island Discs", which anyone who has ever listened to British radio at any time time in the last seventy years will recognise. We asked Psychomania to imagine that he was alone on a tropical island with just his Nokia phone and a solar-powered charger to help pass the time, and that he could have five MP3 tracks, two movies and two apps - what would they be?
Music
"This is a tricky one, but my favourite artists are as follows, and if I have to choose my favourite tracks quickly then I'd probably go with:
Queen - One Vision
Bon Jovi - It's My Life
Aerosmith - I don't want to miss a thing
Kylie Minogue - Can't get you out of my head
Green Day - Wake me up when September ends"
- Psychomania
Movies
"My all time favourite movies are the sci-fi classics Aliens & Blade Runner, I blame them for my love of sci-fi!" - Psychomania
Apps
"Reckon I'd choose from the Microsoft Marketplace/Zune: The apps would have to be games, nothing passes the time like a good game of Angry Birds and Plants vs Zombies, both are time vacuums." - Psychomania

My calendar is stuck on the month view.

How do I get back to the day view? There are no options for day, month or year at the bottom of the screen.

Hello Schertzy,
Thanks for the question. You can change the calendar’s view by tapping on the actual year, month, or day that you are trying to view.
For example, if you are viewing the month, you can tap on any date on that month to zoom in and view the entries for that day, but if you would like to zoom out to see the year, tap on the year in the upper left hand corner:
Change your view. Tap a year, month, or day to zoom in or out on your calendar.

Hi Ram,
Thanks for your Help.I tried in an another way like I created 2 Variable -
Start Date =UserResponse("Enter Month(Start):"
End Date = =UserResponse("Enter Month(End):"
I have created the column header for
start date:
=If([start Date] = "1";"January";If( [start Date] = "2"; "February";If([start Date] = "3";"March";If([start Date] = "4";"April";If([start Date] = "5";"May";If([start Date] = "6";"June";If([start Date] = "7";"July";If([start Date] = "8";"August";If([start Date] = "9";"September";If([start Date] = "10";"October";If([start Date] = "11";"November";If([start Date] = "12";"December"))))))))))))
End Date:
=If([End Date] = "1";"January";If( [End Date] = "2"; "February";If([End Date] = "3";"March";If([End Date] = "4";"April";If([End Date] = "5";"May";If([End Date] = "6";"June";If([End Date] = "7";"July";If([End Date] = "8";"August";If([End Date] = "9";"September";If([End Date] = "10";"October";If([End Date] = "11";"November";If([End Date] = "12";"December"))))))))))))
For the Datas in the column:
Start Date:
=[Sales revenue] Where([Month]=ToNumber(UserResponse("Enter Month(Start):")))
End Date:
=[Sales revenue] Where([Month]=ToNumber(UserResponse("Enter Month(End):")))
I got the Report format as i required
