  What happened?
  Lol... sincerely... im in plans of a gender reassignation because i've been diagnosed with gender disforia, and so, in the recent months i've accepted this fact of my inner self, my inner conciousness or whatever you understand as the person "using" this body of mine, so i'll be taking this DIFFICULT path of self acceptance, and body gender/image reassignation. Knowing that not everybody takes this seriously or even care to understand that this is nothing that one suddendly feels, but is something that was inside me from the moment i can remember, as a child, and always with me, thi sfeeling of living someone else life, and since a few months back, i started to accept and listen to myself, and actually i can't even refer to me as a man to the close ones that know my condition.
  Hope to not disturb anyone and to continue to help anyone that needs help, a tip or just talk about nothing special, be it linux or life related

• Allow change of forum username

  Hi There,
  This isn't a critical issue but I think it would be easily solved.
  I initially signed up with my full name as my forum username, now I don't like my full name anymore 8-)
  I administer a couple of phpBB forums myself and I know it's possible to enable the ability of the user to change their username in the profiles window.
  I know, I could just start a new user, but it's taken me since the summer of 2003 to accumulate the meager number of posts to my credit and I really don't want to start over. Plus, I've had this user around for a year and a half now and I don't really want to reset that clock either. (aren't computer geeks anal retentive 8-)
  Like I said, I know this isn't earth shattering, but it is really easy to allow users to change their usernames in phpBB and even if the board admin could enable it long enough for me to change my name and then disable it again, I'd be very VERY happy (OK, I'm easily pleased 8-)
  Unless there's a specific reason the arch forums don't allow this, Could y'all please turn it on?
  Thanks!!!
  John E. A.

  I always thought the username acted as a key in the database, which would make it hard to modify.... that's why they have to be unique? I haven't looked at phpBB code, so I'll take your word for it...
  If its really not that hard, I'm sure you could PM apeiro and ask him to change your name for you. If you explain how to do it and how its not that difficult and act extremely polite, he may even do it.  However, he's a very busy man and it won't be high on his priority list.

• Change in KM discussion forum after SP18

  Hi,
  We have just applied SP18 (from SP14). In our KM discussion forum the time shown for 'last post' is now changed to the time when the post was 'last read' by a user.
  Have anyone seen this before? and where can I change so it displays when the post/reply was posted?

  FYI

• Change Forum Username

  I dont know how I ended up with a username that advertises both my name and city of residence (I would never choose such a name if I knew it would be posted publicly), but for privacy reasons I'd like to set my forum username to something that isn't so personal. Searching the forums has led me to believe that there is no way for users to do this, but that mods might be able to assist me. How can I contact a moderator to request a change of username?

  Out of curiosity:
  You and a couple of other posters have stated that your username is your full name?
  No one here sees anything but - in this case: cc453 - your username. Your Apple ID (which is your email address) is visible only to you unless you wish to reveal it. If you click on your name/avatar, you can choose 'edit profile and privacy'.
  This will show you this:
  This info is necessary for Apple to be able to identify you as you.
  If you will then choose Privacy Settings, you can choose to display as much or as little info you you want:
  For instance, I've chosen not to reveal anything; in that case, the only thing showing is my username which is displayed. My full name/email are only displayed to myself and Apple.

• Issue in incoming email settings in discussion forum

  hi,
  I have enbaled incoming email settings in my discussion forum list.
   i have sent a email with a  subject, sent to the targeted-emailid to the discussion forum and its sent successfully.
  But  the users  whom i want to share this discussion thread were not able  to receive the email in return when someone posted a  reply on this forum.
  Pls let me know how to resolve this if its possible OOB. any settings / config changes  i need to make it on the exchaneg server or SP Central Admin ?
  also  how to attach a file /  [ attachments ] as a reply to this discussion forum thread.

  If users want alerts email for some users, you need to set alerts or ask someone to set alerts
  You can set alerts in behalf of other users as the administrator for list and inidividual items. Just set up an alert like you are setting it up for yourself...Use the drop-down menu to select "Alert Me", delete your name and enter in someone else's. If
  the username textbox is greyed out, you don't have the proper permissions. I think you need to have the "Manage Permission" rights of the site which is included in the Manage Hierachy and Full Control permission levels.

  you can also try IAlertNotificationHandler interface to customize alert. If you don’t want to write code, you may consider using 3^rd party tool about SharePoint
  alert which you can find on the internet.

• OTN Discussion Forum questions are gone

  My OTN Discussion Forum questions seem to have been deleted. They were only about 1-2 months old. Does anyone know if they are deleted or archived after a certain time period? I'd like to find them for reference if anyone knows how to do that?

  You are posting today's question with username 18e07053-637d-44a1-97ce-f070d9c69384
  That is a system-generated name for a new account.
  Were those other posts created with the same user account?
  Have you recently tried to change your login name (which has been known to totally muck up user profiles, by the way) ?
  The site software has no possible ability to magically merge postings from multiple accounts.
  I suggest you try to remember older threads and find them using the site search function.
  If you can find those threads, you might be able to see if they were posted with the same user account or some previous account.
  Once you do that, you can return to this thread and give us all more information on what you may have found..

• Unable to create a connection for Discussion Forums.

  Hi,
  I have my WC_Spaces and WC_Colloboration Servers running actively. When I try to create a new connection by right-clicking Connections in Applications Resources and choose Discussion Forums and too I entered the URL and admin fields, I find its unable to create a new connection. The error displayed is : "Failed to verify connection". Please help me with this.
  Regards,
  Dinesh Vishnu Kumar

  Hi,
  In your webcenter application you have created the discussion forum connection and you have connections.xml file in your application.Open the connections.xml in jdeveloper and check the discussion forum connection entry.
  For example here I have written down my entry on forum connection-
  <Reference name="Discussion Forum Connection" className="oracle.adf.mbean.share.connection.webcenter.forum.ForumConnection" xmlns="">
  <Factory className="oracle.adf.mbean.share.connection.webcenter.forum.ForumConnectionFactory"/>
  <RefAddresses>
  <StringRefAddr addrType="forum.url">
  <Contents>http://localhost:8890/owc_discussions</Contents>
  </StringRefAddr>
  <StringRefAddr addrType="admin.user">
  <Contents>weblogic</Contents>
  </StringRefAddr>
  <StringRefAddr addrType="connection.time.out">
  <Contents/>
  </StringRefAddr>
  <StringRefAddr addrType="policy.uri.for.auth.access">
  <Contents/>
  </StringRefAddr>
  <StringRefAddr addrType="policy.uri.for.public.access">
  <Contents/>
  </StringRefAddr>
  <StringRefAddr addrType="recipient.key.alias">
  <Contents/>
  </StringRefAddr>
  <StringRefAddr addrType="adapter.name">
  <Contents>Jive</Contents>
  </StringRefAddr>
  </RefAddresses>
  </Reference>
  Change the required entries with your values(for serveraddress,port and admin user).
  One more thing need to consider that is -
  in jdeveloper proxy ,add the server address in exception list and restart the jdeveloper.
  Sometimes it will show you up as "failed to verify the connection". But it will work atleast functionality-wise it will work.
  Apart from this,I have a query on "Have you used any VPN connection to connect collaboration server to create forum connection?"
  Hope it works for you.

  Hoque

• Tweak SharePoint 2013 Discussion Forum

  I have a discussion forum created in SharePoint 2013.  I want to make some minor tweaks, but searched everywhere on how to do it and changing random settings is getting me nowhere.  
  Add choice column
  I would like to add a category as a Choice column so that it shows up:
  1.    In the Subject view, ideally before the author.  E.g.
  My question about so and so
  CategoryXYZ | By Randar Puust | Latest reply by Randar Puust | About an hour ago
  2.    Editable when I add or edit a post.  I know I can do this through List Settings.  I just want to makes sure the solution to 1 does not break this.
  Default for Question
  I would like to make the Question field Yes by default.  Everything starts as an unanswered question unless they explicitly turn it off.
  Note: I am not afraid of changing code if I need to, but I've never actually done any code level customization of SharePoint.  I've barely used the SharePoint designer.  So not quite a newbie, but far from a guru.

  In terms of using the Discussion Board app, either I'm not understanding what you mean (which is very possible), or you may not realize how restricted the discussion app is 2013.  The three out of the box views (Threaded, Flat and Subject) do not allow
  any customization at all.  I can't even add columns.  I've tried to add the columns like so:
  But they do now show up in any of the views.
  I can get it to show up when the discussion item is created and when I export to Excel, but I cannot get it to show up in the threaded view.  I would include more screenshots, but this forum only allows 2 images per post, so hopefully these screenshots
  help clarify my challenge.

• Welcome to the New NI Discussion Forums!

  We are excited to present the NEW and IMPROVED NI Discussion Forums to you, our valued community members!
  The community not only had a face-lift, it now offers a full set of advanced personalization features and it is available in seven languages!
  Here are some tips to help you get around the new system:
  What do the boxes next to the user names mean?
  This is the new user ranking system. The three boxes represent the user’s score in the three performance metrics: ratings, posts, and logins. The darker the box is shaded, the higher the user has scored in that performance metric.
  The box on the left is the average message rating the user has received.
  The box in the center is the total number of posts the user has contributed to the community.
  The box on the right is the number of times the user has logged into the community.
  The blue boxes designate the user is an NI Employee while the gold boxes are reserved for NI Partners and customers.
  How do I find a thread from the old system in the new system?
  If you have the title of the thread, we recommend searching for it using the search bar at the top or bottom of the page.
  If you do not have the title of thread or cannot find it with search, but you know that you posted to the thread, we recommend that you login and click on your Alias at the top of the page to view your profile. From your profile page, click on the Find All Posts by this User link and scroll through the results to find the thread.
  If you do not have the title of the thread and you didn’t post to it, but you know the Alias of someone else who did post to the thread, conduct a User search to find that user. Click on their Alias to view their profile page and then use the Find All Posts by this User link to find the thread.
  If you do not have the title of the thread and you don’t know the Alias of any user who posted to it, we recommend browsing the board that you believe it would be in until you find it.
  How do I personalize the forums?
  Once you login, click on the My Profile link at the top of the page. From the tabs on this page, you can modify your time zone, ratings preference, font size, emoticon style, etc to personalize your experience. As long as you remember to Save Changes before you leave the tabs, your forum will be personalized for you each time you login.
  What languages are supported?
  The user interface is translated into the following languages:
  Chinese (Simplified)
  Chinese (Traditional)
  English
  French
  Korean
  Japanese
  Spanish
  Note: The language in the My Preferences tab in the forums only controls the language for that session. As soon as you logout and login again, your language will be reset to the language that you have configured in your NI User Profile. To modify the language configured in your NI User Profile, visit www.ni.com/profile.

  What does Float mean?
  You can choose to pin boards or threads to the top of the lists so that when you are logged in they are the first things you see. To do this, click on the up arrow to the right of the board or message you want to Float to the top of your lists. When you no longer want this message or board at the top of your lists, you can click the arrow again to UnFloat the board or message.
  Why are there smiley faces in the sample code pieces?
  There are times when the pieces of code include the same characters that are used to create an emoticon in the forums. To disable emoticons so that you can see the code correctly, follow these steps:
  Sign In or Register to the forums if you are not already logged in
  Click My Profile in the User Bar at the top of the page
  Click My Preferences to view the My Preferences tab
  Change the Emoticon Type to None in the My Preferences tab in your Profile
  Click Save Changes
  Now when you browse to the thread, the code should be displayed correctly.
  Emoticons will no longer be displayed in any messages you view in the forums until you change the Emoticon Type back to one of the other types.
  If you have additional questions or feedback about the upgrade, refer to the Help or post to the Feedback on NI Discussion Forums board.

  Just a couple of comments:
  1. In the CVI forum, I couldn't post a message which included the C #include syntax with angle brackets. It interpreted the angle brakcets as HTML, gave me an HTML syntax error, and deleted the angle brackets as well as the .h file they enclosed. There may be a way in HTML to escape the angle brakcets so they can be included as text rather than interpreted as HTML, but I shouldn't have to do that in a C forum.
  2. When I got the HTML error message above, it also deleted the file I had attached so when I posted the message, there was no attachment.
  3. I don't get automatic hyperlinks in any posts I read or create. The text of the URL is there, but I can't just click to link to the new page. Am I missing some option?
  4. Older but updated messages don't come to the top. I like to see new activity even if I'm not subscribed to that thread.
  5. When reviewing the list of messages in the forums, I'd like to see the ratings of the author and of the reply (even before opening the message). In the old forums, the messages where tagged "Answered by Enthusiast" and/or "High rating".
  6. I'd like to see the buttons to rate an answer even if I'm not logged. If I try to rate an answer when I'm not logged on, it could prompt me to log on first. If the rating buttons are only available if you're logged on, I think the number of ratings will be drastically reduced.
  7. I miss the list of top contributors (formerly known as Enthusiasts). I think it was a good way to foster community and to get to know active members. It also generated some friendly competition to see who had more posts and who had higher ratings.
  8. I liked the old organization with two sections to show the newest answered questions separate from the newest unanswered questions.
  9. Some of the new search options are good additions. I'd like to combine the user search and the message search. For example, I might like to search for any message from Bilal on DLLs.
  10. I had to make this a Top 10 list. I'm impressed by the amount of work that went into the new forums. Keep it up!

• Java Discussion Forum - Post topic not working

  I've deployed the Java Discussion Forum contributed by CLAURENT in Knowledge Exchange. Deployed to 10gAS in JDev 9051. I've modified a few deprecated classes and made the appropraite changes to orion-applications.xml to point to the correct JPDK jars when deployed under Linux.
  The application is operating properly with no errors. The administartion portlet can modify and create new forums. However, Posting a topic does NOT work. And it doesn't throw any errors on screen or in the console log (application.log) or the log4j log (forumprovider.log). Has anyone run into a problem like this?
  Thanks. LEH

  I have exactly the same problem on the Portal 10g release 2.
  Normally the "dit of a new topic" calls the EditPostAction but after submitting the form, nothing reachs this action.
  I check this in debug mode and add several logs and I don't see nothing appearing for this action.
  Did you find a solution?

• Discussion Forum Portlet not working on standalone OC4J

  Hi,
  I'm testing the Discussion Forum Portlet.
  I imported the portlet to jedeveloper in order to make changes to it.
  I deployed it to a standalone OC4J (without doing any changes yet) and succesfully registered a provider, but when I put the portlet to a Portal-Page I get the following error:
  "Unable to perform the operation: JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file config\common\bc4j.xcfg in the classpath"
  Deploying to the OC4J_Portal Instance on the Application Server and
  registering the provider with this URL is working.
  I'm using Portal 10.1.2.0.2.
  I tested with OC4J standalone versions 9.0.4.0.0 and 10.1.2.0.2.
  What could cause the fact that the Portlet isn't working when it is deployed to an standalone OC4J?
  Regards,
  Mario

  I'd recommend asking the Portal/Portlet people -- I think exposure to this sample will be required to give you any assistance.
  One thing to be aware of though is that the libraries for BC4J (which this sample seems to use based on that error) aren't installed by default with OC4J standalone. Whereas for OracleAS 10.1.2 they are. So that might be something to chase down.
  cheers
