Are there two bugs in the forums?

1. The forums only seem to list who opened the original question, not who last posted. To keep track of my own replies, I need to see who last posted. How to do this? (It used to be there before they redesigned).
2. Similarly, how do I get to see only UNREAD posts, not have to start again from the top?

For best ASC forum results Use Hiroto's changes. See items 6 below.
There is a missing column. Was four columns ( ??? ) now only three. They reduced the lettering size to get more information on the line. I guess you could say they are listening, but can get over that they are wrong about the layout.
With the real thing:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated
Does show last poster. It's worded as by .... Bit misleading by it's ASC.
Discussion lists do not.
Here is my ASC work flow...
1) I login.
2) Block the automatic 30 minute logout.
     Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out. The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense ;-) . Filling out a reply is the exception to the thirty minute window.
        Start an auto reloader. Thanks to ChitlinsCC.
Safari = SafariTabReloader
Firefox = ReloadEvery: "Reload web pages automatically"
Others = Reloaders | Cerberus - Support Center
You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC. I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some logins. It's ASC. Change rccharles to your apple id.
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles?view=discussions
Reply technique
Open a new browser window. Pick some discussion. Open a reply window. As long as this reply window is open, you will stay logged in. The 30 minute times is reset as needed by the ASC software.
3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
         turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/rccharles/content?filterID=participated~obj ecttype~objecttype%5Bthread%5D
5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:
Site map of Communities and Categories
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2463
6) Adjust the ASC web page layout.
For FireFox
I run with Hiroto's modification to user content. This is the only way these forums are readable for me. How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7501
For Safari
"ASCPowerTools is a Safari Extension designed to give more control"
http://www.etresoft.com/ascpowertools
7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )
8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

Bug in the forum search area

Hi,
I tried searching on the "CFML-General Discussion"forum. when
you do , you get a error, please check it. :)
"Variable FTVAR_RESULTTYPE is undefined"

Thanx

Long ago I concluded that the search function in these forums
was generally useless so I have no reason to try.

TWO CRITICAL BUGS: 1) File, "Save Page As" and 2) right-click the picture and select "Save Image As", both do not work at all in Firefox 27, 28, and 29!

Note: capitals are used only to highlight important words.
PLEASE, TAKE THESE COMMENTS ON TWO CRITICAL BUGS VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THE BUGS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE SO CRITICAL THAT I CANNOT USE THE LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX UNLESS THEY DO NOT APPEAR IN THE LATEST VERSION AND THEREFORE I AM FORCED TO REVERT BACK TO FIREFOX 26.
I have Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 26. I could not install Firefox 27, 28, and 29 due to the persistent presence of the two critical bugs described below. I have 8 GB of RAM and an Intel quad-core processor and a lot of hard disk space available.
I installed Firefox 27 and then Firefox 28 a while back and these two bugs described below were still present and now I have just checked again with Firefox 29 by installing it and yet again, these two bugs described below are present!! UNBELIEVABLE THAT THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS ARE STILL PRESENT IN FIREFOX 29 WHEN I CLEARLY INFORMED YOU ABOUT THEM IN THE HELP, SUBMIT LINK OF FIREFOX!!
I am forced to revert to Firefox 26!
First, I use Windows 7 64-bit and I always use Firefox with at least 120 tabs opened. BUT I have 8 GB of RAM, an Intel core i7 quad-core processor and more than 1 TB of hard disk space. Consequently, I do not understand why I would have these two critical bugs.
With Firefox 26, I also have at least 120 tabs opened when I start Firefox and I do not have the two critical bugs described below, therefore I do not believe that the number of tabs is the reason of the two critical bugs that are present in Firefox 27, 28, and 29.
---FIRST CRITICAL BUG:
When I open ANY web page and do File, "Save Page As", the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this web page does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---SECOND CRITICAL BUG:
When I use Google Images, for instance entering model in the search field of Google Images and then pressing enter.
Then I select any picture, open to a new tab this selected picture, then open a new tab by selecting the option View for this picture. Then right-click the picture and select "Save Image As".
Again, the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this picture does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS DO NOT APPEAR WHEN I USE INTERNET EXPLORER 11.
I have no idea if you will be able to reproduce these two critical BUGS but I can assure you that they are not present when I use Firefox 26 and they are present when I use Firefox 27, 28, and 29. More, be aware that I have at least 100 tabs opened but I also have this same number of tabs opened in Firefox 26 and yet I do not experience these two critical bugs when I have Firefox 26!
Once again, these two bugs touch at two vital, critical very basic functions of Firefox and therefore I will NOT be able to use any version above 26 if these two bugs are still present, as they are present in Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!!!
Please, make it a priority to solve these two critical bugs. Thanks.
I did read a post related to the same issues “Firefox stops responding when trying to "save page" or "save image" | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support” at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991630?esab=a&as=aaq
I am still reading it again to try to figure out exactly what the person did to make his problems be solved, as the post is not clear at all on what solved the problems!
In any case, all the suggestions proposed in this post do not work and I surely cannot do a system restore when it is obvious that the two bugs do not appear in Internet Explorer.

First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

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.

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

A critical bug on Voice Memos

I found a critical bug on Voice Memos yesterday. When I recorded a presentation, I opened the camera app to take a photo. Voice Memos showed that the recording was still on going. However, after the presentation was finished, I stopped recording and wanted to save the file. I found the length of the voice file was far less then that I supposed. Then I realized Voice Memos only recorded the voice before I opened the camera app, but it was still displayed in recording status.
I suppose if Camera app occupies the microphone and then interrupts Voice Memos recording, Voice Memos should display as stop status. However, Voice Memos pretended that it still kept recording, so I didn't know I need to restart to record. This bug causes me to miss a lot of important voice records. I don't know how to let Apple know this critical bug and also my complaint.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. After long hours, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the content works.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. The title of the mails stored in the mailbox appear, but the content was unavailable.
After 4 long hours at the phone with the Apple staff unable to help me, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the contents of the mails stored there become available.
Please, make this solution available to other people!

You have found the the way to share it. Include your problem and its solution in a forum post in the Mavericks forums. Then mark you own post with a green solved star.
Note. You won't get any points for that; points are only awarded where you mark someone else's post as either helpful or solved.

HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Is this a bug in the header?

I searched the forum for something on this, but I couldn't find anything. Here are the steps to recreate the problem:
1) Create a Welcome page.
2) Select "Show Layout" from the View Menu.
3) On the Page palette of the Inspector, create a 200 pixel header.
4) Place the Title text box in the header.
5) Try to move it out of the header.
It seems that objects get "stuck" in the header, at least for me. I'm hoping I did something wrong because I will have to scrap some pages if not. The real problem is not the getting permanent items, like the Title text box, stuck in the header, but an associated bug. I have found that text boxes in the body of the page now add extra blank space at the bottom of the text box, dependent upon the number of paragraphs. Having no header, or having it free of certain objects, solves this problem.
Could someone else try this before I report it as a bug?

Charles
Press the Apple (Command) key while you are dragging the Title Box out of the header.

Why aren't URLs highlighted in the forums?

As I discussed with Marcus in Forum Bug: URLs in forum posts not rendered anymore as hyperlinks there is a www convention that hyperlinks are indicated by colour and/or underlining. The old forum skin used colour.
Did you notice there was a link in that paragraph? If not my point is made. If you did, well congrats. Presumably you have got yourself into the habit of trailing your mouse along every sentence as you read.
This new forum skin doesn't use colour not does it use underlining, with the consequnce that links are invisible in the text (unless we explicitly print them but that makes the text hard to read).
Of course, the purpose of the new skin is to make the forum look like the rest of OTN, so I would just like to point out that text hyperlinks on the rest of OTN are underlined - check out the ADVANCED SEARCH link in the tool bar at the top of this page.
As someone who makes a great deal of use of the [ URL ] tag (almost as much as I use italics) I think this is a loss of functionality. The links needed to be made more distinctive not less.
Cheers, APC

Andrew....we concur, and in the next couple of weeks, this change will be implemented.

AUR has a bug in the way it versions packages. [WORKED AROUND]

If you check out my PKGBUILD in the AUR (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29410), you'll notice its version on the page is "smooth-tasks-pkgver.txt", while the ${pkgver} variable in its PKGBUILD is "wip_2009_09_13". `smooth-tasks-pkgver.txt' is a file the PKGBUILD uses to temporarily store the correct ${pkgver} of the package (not its mercurial revision), which is then used to update the arch package and PKGBUILD.
It was an experiment to see how I could manipulate makepkg's standard versioning scheme to reflect the actual author's package version rather than the mercurial revision, and it works! AUR just seems to have an issue with the way it parses the PKGBUILD.
I figured it would be best to discuss this on the forums before filing an actual bug report.
EDIT: changed the title from "... names packages" to "... versions packages", and edited the post body to correct my original misconception the bug lies in how the AUR names packages, and not versions them.

I don't understand your logic, what is `[ 1 ]' for? It reminds me of the pieces of code I occasionally come across that look something like:
if (true) {
/* Do something here */
I reckon it makes since to someone, I've just never understood the logic behind such blocks.
The above snippet of code is one way of creating a block comment within Bash scripts, since whatever is located between the `EOF' tags is piped to nowhere (and thus isn't displayed); by placing a block comment at the end of the PKGBUILD containing an explicit ${pkgver} declaration, I am able to dictate to the AUR what the package version should be, and still have the segment of code ignored by `makepkg' when the script is executed.
EDIT: Unless, you mean to use something like `(( 0 ))', which Bash will evaluate to false and thus ignore the proposition. That would indeed make since, but, in my opinion, isn't really any clearer than my implementation.

FAO Mods: Bug in the Billing software?

Does DannyH's distress suggest to you that there is a serious bug in the billing software? How many other BB customers are receiving such bills I wonder.
Can you report this to the appropriate division please? And let us know what the response is please?

I hope that Kerry, whom I spotted logged-in earlier, is, as I type this post, reporting this apparent bug in the software, and investigating the matter.
Even if it is just one customer, this must be addressed with great urgency mustn't it? How many other customers are getting such bills, customers who are living hand-to-mouth, struggling with monthly budgets, and in danger of a visit by the BT bailiffs because of BT incompetence? We all know BT's poor track record in respect of sorting out issues such as this. I'm a victim myself.
