Our picks
Tethering on BT Mobile
Tethering isn’t supported on BT Mobile and there has been a lot of discussion over this last fortnight about this. Thanks @snowglider for starting this conversation.
Software update for BT YouView customer
Last week, we started to roll out a software update for BT YouView customers. If you’ve already received the update, we want to hear your feedback! So please join in with the conversation here.
Some of our most searched topics were...
About Desktop Help.
Information on what it does, how you can download it and a video-overview is available here.
Another top search was for finding out how you can test your broadband speeds.
You can run this test to get information on what speed you’re achieving and advice if the test picks up any problems. Of course, you can always ask for additional help on our broadband boards!
Forum feature of the week - tagging
You may have noticed that you can use a feature called “Tags” on forum posts.
Tags are a handy way of categorising or summarising content – they help posters quickly find relevant information when they are searching for something specific.
Over 450 posts have been tagged so far this year!
The top five tags used this year are mostly all broadband related, which is unsurprising since our broadband boards are the busiest at the moment, and they are:
BT
Infinity
Broadband
Connection
Hub
Find out more on how you can tag your posts here.
That’s it for now…
Thanks to everyone who replied to our previous newsletter. We’re trying to do something a little bit different, and as always your comments and suggestions are very much appreciated!

I think perhaps you should understand that this is much more than the usual type of forum. It is a community. It also part of the BT customer service options. It is an excellent place for help and information and finding solutions.

Forum milestone – accepted solutions
The forum’s accepted solutions feature is a great way of recognising fellow forum members for providing the answer to a problem. It also helps others find the correct answer to their question when they use the forum’s search facility.
We are very proud to announce that, as of last week, the total number posts marked as accepted solutions to date have now exceeded 15.000!
Here’s to the community reaching the 20.000 mark!
Solutions and Thanks over the last fortnight
Here are some of the forum’s top contributors in terms of solutions, kudos given and kudos received.
Two of our most prolific posters over the last few weeks have been @rarmitage124and @umpire – thanks for all the help you’ve been offering on the community!
This week alone, rarmitage124 has received over 10 kudos and authored several solutions, by offering help across the whole forum.
Umpire has recently offered a lot of advice on the BT TV boards, and also helped solve several threads since the last newsletter, by giving swift and straightforward answers on BT TV and BT Sport. Here’s an example.
Well done guys, thanks for all your help!
Our picks
One of the top discussions over the last number of weeks has been about the new BT TV packages.
Customers now have a choice of different packages and we’ve had a forum discussion about it.
BT on the web
New BT ads
Have you seen the new BT ads yet?
BT on YouTube has uploaded a few “behind the scenes” videos along with the actual TV ads.
Here’s one (The sound of reliability) that you can check out and see what all the fuss is about!
BT Minis
The guys over at BT YouTube have also been busy putting together some short and light-hearted vidoes about BT Mobile.
One of the most searched topics this fortnight was...
About Netflix!
As of last year, customers can add Netflix to their BT TV package as a “bolt-on”, as long as their TV pack is eligible. Information on this product is available here. Technical help is available in the Netflix Help Centre.
Forum feature of the week – Uploading images
As a BTCare forum member, you have access to an image gallery where you can choose to keep images private or public. You can add then these images onto a post.
It’s pretty easy to upload an image, and here’s how you can do it!
That’s it for now…
We hope everyone has a great week, and we look forward to seeing you around the boards!

BTCare Community Newsletter
Issue 1
What’s this, a new newsletter?
Yes, it is! We wanted to bring back the forum newsletter and share with you any forum-related news, with anything from board/structure changes to giving a shout-out to people who have been particularly helpful this week, and more.
Speaking of forum changes…
As you will have seen from the front page of the forum, the Lounge and BT.com & Community have a new home (along with some name changes!) You can see the full details here.
Also, the Announcements section is getting an update! We've renamed it Announcements, Guides & Community Updates, and the purpose of this change is we very much want discussion about the community here. In future you will find topics about changes to the community as well as handy guides on some fantastic community features.
By default, you can now post (and reply to posts) including this newsletter!
We hope that these changes give everyone a better opportunity to chat to us and the rest of the forum community.
Last but not least, BT Mobile has now been launched and has its own board – you can post any questions or comments here.
A lot of threads have already been answered, such as how you can download the BT Mobile app, and info on the spend cap to name a few, as well as lots of questions about 4G!
And the award goes to...
Top solutions authored, and most kudos received: @imjolly
Most kudos given: @licquorice
Well done guys! Who will reach the top this week?
And the award goes to...
Unsurprisingly, there’s been quite a lot of discussion around BT Mobile since its launch last week.
One of the most talked-about topics last week was from existing BT Broadband Anywhere customers, and how they can avail of this new BT Mobile offer.
Thanks @Ribblelancs for kicking off the discussion.
One of the most searched topics this week was...
How to self-install Infinity 2!
Searching the community is a great way to get the advice you need, as it has a wealth of information on this topic.
Advice is available here, along with a short video on how the self-install process works.
Forum feature of the week - @mentions
Did you know you can mention a fellow forum member in your post, and they’ll receive an email letting them know they’ve been named in your post?
This is a handy way of posting a reply to someone and making sure they don’t miss it. Just remember it only works when you’re using the Rich Text tab!
A handy step-by-step guide is now available here, along with how to manage @mention notifications.
That’s it for now…
So if you have any comments or suggestions, do reply back to this thread with your feedback.
Thanks for reading!

Thanks for your feedback, not what we were hoping for but appreciate the honesty .
@licquorice - You are right, when customers come to our forum it is generally to post about a problem they have so general chit chat is probably the last thing on there mind. The newsletter is so that we can share community news with everyone so by spending two minutes reading this Newsletter a community member will have a sense of what is going on. Discussion around the content of the newsletter is open and we would encourage it as it allows us to learn and know what to include next time, but I appreciate its not for everyone. The fact that you have kicked us off with comments is exactly what we want so thank you for that.
@imjolly - Thanks for the comments. We plan to highlight a community feature every week in the newsletter as there are some functions that are used very little, probably because no one knows about it. If you decide to remove the @mention notification and run into any issues please let me know and I will help you. With regards to the 'Mentions' section, my apologies that we included you here without asking you first. I know you don't help other customers for the purpose of being recognised for it but we figured it would be something nice to do as a way of highlighting your invaluable contributions. However in hindsight we should have asked first, lesson learned, and I will make sure that you or anyone else is not included in this section without at least being consulted before hand.
Our community is a support based community so when members post here it is generally about a problem. However, wouldn't it be nice if we did have some general chit chat taking place? I mean there are many here that don't come to post about a problem but rather to help other members so this might be a nice change. What do you think?
Cheers
Sean

MSOutlook HTML newsletter issues - large gaps between large images and small gaps...
Please can you help me!
Searched the web & found plently of advice but still getting formatting display issue when viewing HTML newsletter in MS Outlook.
Fully aware on the basics regarding the multiple issues when creating HTML newsletters but this is driving me crazy.
Apparently there is a image height limit within Outlook (can't find out what this is) so I have sliced my larger images into 5/6 parts which solves the display issue in Outlook.
But the gaps between the slices are now being displayed as small blank spaces within Hotmail.
I did use <br> between each slice as without caused the fixed 600px wide containing table to expand due to the slices stacking hoz.
Also still getting small gaps (like <br> spaces) between all images in Outlook when displaying perfectly (no gaps) in a browser.
This is my newsletter displaying correctly via a browser:
http://eu.shorts.tv/site-admin/modules/mod_mail/SHORTSTV_DECEMBER_2012.htm
Using Dreamweaver 4 (do have the latest version via Adobe Creative Cloud Membership but not on this system).
Hope you can help
Many thanksMany thanks David
I also found this article which is currently sitting on my desk.
Pdf would make perfect sense or even a url link to view via a browser but these guys need it contained within the email.
Thanks again for your kind advice.

Finder: Safari Community Toolbar Issue
While searching through Finder I will almost always receive a pop-up window that is titles "Community Toolbar" It then proceeds to inform me that the Safari I am currently running is out of date and the toolbar cant be opened. However everything on the computer is update especially Safari
There is another poster, posting the exact same issue your having.
It can be seen here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2243774&tstart=0
If the solution provided work; the poster has not let it be known.
A 3rd party plugin is usually the cause of such pop-ups.
Execute the steps in the other posting or post back here or abandon this post and post back in the other post (mentioned above) and provide feedback as too whether the solution worked. -
What settings do I need to get Pages to treat each of my 8 pages in my newsletter as an individual page? Right now the first page stays put, but whatever I add to a subsequent page moves everything on the 7 pages that follow.
Also, in my last issue, I added a graphic, moved it to the background, and now cannot remove it for the next issue. Clicking on it gives no response. I wanted to delete the entire page, but since that page is included with the other seven (see above) I would lose too much of what I have established in my newsletter/Welcome to Apple Discussions
To make your pages act independently you must insert a Section Break at the end of each page. To retrieve your graphic, click and hold outside the margin and drag to the graphic to select it, then move it to the front

Palm M105 Communication code issue
I have a Palm M105 that is used with Hub Manager for door security at a shelter. There was an issue and I had to reinstall Hub Manager and the Palm software. Now that everything is reinstalled the Palm is not recognizing the communication code when it is put into the door to make changes. The code was not changed in Hub Manager and the Palm will Hotsynch with the PC. I just can't get it to import and export data from the doors with out this code working. Can any one help?
Post relates to: Palm m105You may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.
Show file extensions for XP or Vista
XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
After this procedure, reinstall the program and set it up again. See if this may correct the issue.

File communication channel issue : object name too long
Hi Experts,
My requirement is to place the successful files in folder and un-successful files in one folder after processing.
we used parameterized mapping to achieve this requirement.
I'm facing below issues, please help me to resolve.
" An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Unexpected reply codeSpecified object name too long, limit is 10 characters: $Filepath_Su.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
As per my understanding it is not taking the path specified,because of length issue.
Please send me your valuable inputs and help me.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Bhargava KrishnaHello,
By loking ur error description, it's quite evident that it's a FTP sever issue?
Sometime on FTP server, there is a check which is enabled to limit the length of file names, and i think the same has been recently implemented on ur FTP server. So instead of changing ur config, check with ur FTP admin.
Tested the same after tweaking existing FTP server settings.
Thanks

Dear All,
I am working on a file to rfc scenario, the scenario is working in development, but when the same code is moved to production it is not working.
I have provide the necessary details of the ftp server its credentials and the necessary SAP r/3 server connection details in the CC in prod after moving from dev.
Now the problem is that the communication channel which ever was moved along with the directory objects are not getting displayed in the cc monitoring, all other interfaces cc which was moved earlier is getting displayed.
And also we are not sure whether this CC is polling the ftp directory because of this.
PLease let me know how to view those CC in the RWB.
Regards,
Nithiyanandam
Regards,
NithiyanandamHi All,
This scenario(File-RFC-File without BPM) is working fine with all the communication channels showing success message and also getting the response message from R/3 system to the FTP server.
But the problem is that the processing of message are not shown in SXMB_MONI.
Is there any specific parameter i need to maintain in SXMB_ADM other than
category: Monitor
Parameter:CCMS_MONITORING
Current value:1
default value:1
category: Runtime
parameter:IS_URL
currentvalue:http://xxxx:8003/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
category: Runtime
Parameter:LOGGING
Current value:1
default value:0
category: Runtime
Parameter:LOGGING_SYNC
Current value:1
default value:0
category: Runtime
Parameter:TRACE_LEVEL
Current value:3
default value:1
Is there any other parameter i need to specify, because for file to file scenarios it is working fine and displaying messages in SXMB_MONI.
Regards,

I placed a portlet in my community and I clicked on the add button to add a key, value pair, nothing seems to happen. No error code, nothing? Can you tell me what do I need to set? I defined web service and it renders fine on the portal (5.x). What else could I be missing?
PS. I tried this with Community and CommunityPortlet setting in my code and still it does not work. Below is the code for the ADD button that user would click on after entering the NAME and Value into text fields in the form.
protectedvoidButtonAdd_Click(objectsender, System.EventArgs e){// Get the portlet context object and request/response objectIPortletContext PortletContext = PortletContextFactory.CreatePortletContext(Request,Response);IPortletRequest PortletRequest = PortletContext.GetRequest();IPortletResponse PortletResponse = PortletContext.GetResponse();
stringstrName, strValue;strName = TextBox1Add.Text;strValue = TextBox2Add.Text;
//Update the pref value with the posted valuePortletResponse.SetSettingValue(SettingType.CommunityPortlet, strName, strValue);// Return to pageResponse.Redirect(PortletContext.GetRequest().GetHostPageURI().ToString());}
ThanksSince Community preferences are shared between portlets, there is the danger of one portlet overwriting another portlet's community settings. Hence there is a setting on the Web Service object where the administrator must set specific Community Preferences to send to each portlet; these are also the only Community preferences that that portlet can set.
CommunityPortlet preferences do not have this restriction, since they pertain to only one portlet (within only one community).
The Enterprise Web Development Guide goes over this in detail.
