Deleting posts and locking a thread

Yesterday, there was a reply made to the FMB size shrinks dramatically thread, where the poster described a situation where his Forms 10 fmb file somehow became corrupted, and the compiled fmx would no longer open or run. He posted that finding the semicolon - semicolon Replace All procedure had fixed the problem.
I posted a reply that acknowledged his post and warned anyone else reading and trying the procedure to be careful, that any "referenced" program units copied from another source would lose its reference link to the source. (Fortunately, most people do not use the referenced feature.)
Now today, I see those two posts have been deleted, and the thread is locked.
I would like to point out that the "semicolon - semicolon replace-all" process STILL works even on the latest version of the Forms Builder. Forms Builder has always stuffed compiled code into fmb files, and it can cause trouble when trying to run the fmx against a new database. (It was a less-than-optimum idea back in the beginning of the client/server Forms development cycle, but has never been fixed.) The replace-all / save process removes the old compiled code so the fmb is significantly smaller and clean, and a new compile will generate new and clean code.
I realize the thread is over five years old, but deleting new posts and locking the thread removes valuable information that just might help someone even today. I hope whoever locked the thread and deleted the posts will reconsider their actions. This forum is a valuable resource for Forms developers around the world, and even information in very old threads can be useful.

That would work for most of the cases. But then there are those who for whatever reason don't mark solutions. Maybe allow some of us to mark solutions for people in that board?
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

What is the difference between alert moderator button on post and on a thread?

Dear SAP Mentors
I want to know that what is the difference and functioanlity of alert moderator button for every post in a thread separately and for whole thread in right side of the page? If we click on alert moderator for a specific post then what should we expect and if we do this for a thread then what can be the result? Please elaborate the functioanlity of both.
Thank$

Yes, they are for same thread. It is to demonstrate that discussion and replies, both are technically message.
It is just that reply has a discussion has parent, and discussion probably has space has parent.
About the thread getting deleted, it could be because someone else reported the thread, and that alert was processed by moderator. It could also be that once moderator reviews the alert, he/she finds entire discussion pointless and rejects it. Or, it could be a human error.
Let's look at links again.

Deleting password and locks on iBook G4 OSX v.10.5

My iBook G4, running on OSX would not accept my user- and/or administrator-passwords and I could no longer install programs. Therefore I started it up on m Mac OSX Leopard v.10.5 dvd (holding down c) and used it resetting the passwords, then updated the system on the iBook (1,25 GB RAM). All went well, and soon the computer came up with logon with my name and a demand for password. I entered the new password, but NO, it comes up with the correct password hint, but will NOT accept the password. I am totally locked out. As my attempt to restart on installation dvd and redo the previous procedure failed and only brought me back to logon, I decided to try using the Startup Manager Procedure. This too failed, no alternative volumes came up, only a padlock (locked) and an arrow, and the dvd seems to be stucked inside, as the eject key failed to eject it. I desperately need your advise on how to handle this. Even if I have a MacBook Pro too, I really love my little iBook and use it every day in the living room. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for getting involved. Part of the problem is that the computer will not boot from install-dvd anymore. I can not even get the dvd out. I am afraid that I have reset the hardware-/root-password as well, together with user- and administrator passwords, but how can it be that the computer suddenly refuse to accept the correct passwords?
As explained,using the startup-manager only gives me a padlock, not an opportunity to choose startup-volume. Is there any simple way of re-formatting and re-installing OS? No vital datas on the computer that could not be restored.
Please note that I need detailed how-to-instructions, as I am not very familiar with the problem-solving-side of Macs.
Please do not give up on me if you have some ideas how to handle the problem. Dag

Asking the mod to lock this thread.

I don't know where to turn to. I don't think it belongs to fissue at microsoft dot com, and I can't use the Abuse button as no one is in violation of COC.
So, I am posting my " lock this
thread " request here.
The thread in question has gone through 136 replies 235 Votes, and counting.
I don't think there is a computer matter that is so important that a 136 replies, and a highly questionable 235 Helpful Votes have not completely covered. Even a Homeland Security issue would have been settled with that many responses ( sarcastic
The only thing it will do now is occupying a spot which could have been used for a Real computer problem.
This is just my opinion.
Thank you.
Adding............
It would be real nice if the admins/owner set up a separate Discussion forum where people who love to talk without end can spend their time there, and people who come to TechNet solely for helping others will not have to be bothered by such
nonsense.

Well there are clearly a lot of people with opinions on where Microsoft should take the Windows user interface. I don't think that is surprising, and the discussion would seem to be on topic for that forum.
Is there any benefit in locking a thread just because it is very long? I would probably not post on a thread that is already that long as I would not expect many people to ever make it all the way down to read my post, but if I did would anyone be harmed?
I do agree that the points earned by the posts with many helpful votes are questionable. These opinion threads tend to generate large numbers of competing votes. Is the distortion of the (far from perfect) points system reason enough to lock threads like
this? I don't know (for that matter, I don't know if locking a thread prevents additional helpful votes).
[Edit in response to the suggestion of a separate forum for these posts]
Does the existence of one discussion thread with a very high post count make it very much harder to find
questions that need to be answered?

Why are the Apple mods deleting and locking threads?

I would like an answer as to why the mods are deleting and locking threads that have to do with the error that pervasive in the iPod 1.1 upgrade. It seems that Apple will not acknowledge it but some of us are trying to find an answer and Apple locks the thread and deletes another one. As paying customers, Apple should realize that it is us who keeps the lights on in Cupertino. I think a bit more respect to the paying customer is in order here.

Contrary to any belief you may have I can assure you that there are no attempts of covering up any alleged bugs in software or anything else in these fora.
Here's a reframe to your original question - The fact that the thread was locked means that the Hosts have seen the thread. It is reasonable therefore to conclude that they would have allerted the relevant people of the issue and referred them to that thread.

I downloaded the album "ALBA" and six songs came thru with only 2-4 bars..I posted this and Varyak paw told me to delete them and then sign into the itunes store and click on the Library button in the upper rt corner .... BUT I have no library button

I followed the instructions exactly but I have no library button in the upper rt. corner. I made sure that I have "show Itunes in the cloud Purchases" checked and nothing I do works so I clicked on the link to apple support and it just sits there forever making little circles... Help?

If iTunes says "iTunes Store" at the upper-right, then you're already viewing your Library and don't need to locate that button. But if clicking the cloud icons directly in the iTunes library listing doesn't work, try this, presuming you're using iTunes 11:
- Delete the problem tracks from the iTunes library if you haven't done so already;
- Locate the "iTunes Store" button at the upper-right. If you see "library" instead, you're already viewing the iTunes Store.
- Click the Purchased link under the Quick Links;
- Log into your iTunes Store account if necessary;
- Locate the album in the sidebar;
- Locate the problem tracks and click the "cloud" icon.
If you are running iTunes 10.7, see the section titled "Using iTunes 10.7 or earlier" in the support article to which I linked in your previous thread.
If you still have problems downloading or the tracks still are defective, you'll need to contact the iTunes Store. That you can't use the link I posted in your other thread either, that may indicate a connection problem in your computer, perhaps security software blocking access to the iTunes Store.
Regard.
BTW, it would have been better if you'd have continued this in your previous thread rather than starting a new topic, so that anyone reading had the full story on which to base further advice.

Everytime i plug my phone into itunes it says it cant connect because the phone is locked well i restored my phone twice and set a new passcode the last time and it still wont work . I even deleted itunes and reinstalled it , it dosent work . HELP PLZ !!

I had the same issue. I tried everything unchecking / rechecking, formatting Iphone and restoring from backup etc etc.
In the end it was a simple issue which might of might not help you.
A number of months ago I relocated by Itunes folder to a NAS drive. It appears when I did the last I tunes update Itunes set the destination path of the Itunes media to the default location, the result was Itunes couldn't install music,apps, video until I set the correct destination path.
The bit that confused me was it was transferring some media. This was of course the media I had downloaded since the last Itunes update which had gone to the default location.
I hope that makes sense and is off some help.

Posting and Deleting Parked MM Invoices

Hi all!
We want to restrict access role for posting and deleting parked MM Invoices separately through transaction code MIRO. However, we cannot see any available authorization objects to restrict the role separately 1) posting 2) deleting of parked MM Invoices.
Please help.
Thanks,
Robert

If you use MIR7 tcode I think you stand a better chance of controlling it. By comparing the 2 SAP (SAP_MM_IV_CLERK_PARK & SAP_ISA_JIT_CONTROL )roles , I found one area was different which is F_BKPF_BLA Acctg doc type. For MIR7 the ACTVT is only 01-Create but for MIRO it has to have 10-to post. Another is K_TP_VALU CO-Transfer Price Valuations where MIR7 has none but MIRO has 10-to post. Try and see what happens

How to delete posts on Facebook and Twitter using ...

I've been using the Nokia Communities App for like a week, then I noticed that I typo-ed a Facebook status, also in Twitter. I couldn't edit it, and I couldn't find any option to delete it as well. How do you do that?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi prinsipeOplok,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the fourm.
It's not possible to edit or delete a post via the Communities application. In order to do this you will have to log in to the Twitter or Facebook website via the internet browser on your phone and edit or delete from there.
Hope this clears things up, thank you for your feedback.

Deleting FB Posts and capturing FB photos.... question

Hopefully someone can help me with this... on the old version of FB on my Droid X, I used to be able to delete FB posts that are either on my profile, or that I have posted on other people's wall. I can't seem to do that anymore.
Also, I used to be able to long press pictures that my sister posted on her wall and save them to my SD card. I can't do that anymore either. Is this not an option anymore? Or is there a different way to do it now?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

were you just browsing to facebook website previously? Might be that you could still delete posts if you used your browser to go to the website directly.
Probably the same thing for long press , copy and paste ok photos.
