I am interested as well. Please respond to my mailaddress. I can not log on to the newsgroup due to the firewall!

We have three discussions forums with same subject. whenever a post gets new reply in one forum, it should automatically trigger workflow functionality to check conditions and send the same reply to other synchronized forums.

Hi,
More details about your discussions forum will make others easier to find a corresponding solution on your requirement.
If you mean there are three Discussion Board list waiting for synchronizing, I would suggest you create an Event Receiver for the three Discussion Board list.
Here is a link with code demo about how to copy items from one Discussion Board to another including Replies:

RE: Integrating Discussion Forum with webcenter

Hi,
I have an doubt in integrating Discussion Forum in webcenter. All that is I want to use my Clients users to use discussion service embedded in webcenter. So Anyone please guide me in binding both webcenter and Discussion server to use same LDAP. Kindly please suggest me in terms of any screenshots, tutorials, videos etc.
Regards,
Dinesh Vishnu Kumar.C

Hi Dinesh,
You have to just integrate your domain with external LDAP server using the steps mentioned in the following guide.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_security_id_store.htm#BGBHHGEH
Once you done with it, from PS4 onward, discussion server use JSP-based security to authenticate itself from this LDAP based provider. The only thing you have to do in discussion is that you have to add one Administration user in discussion server using the following one procedure:-
a. From the Discussion Server Administration (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_security_id_store.htm#BGBGGHEA): As per my experience, you will not be able to access it once you configured external LDDAP provider. Therefore, I prefer to use option-b.
b. Run the WLST command i.e. addDiscussionsServerAdmin

Imran

Discussions Forum with Safari

For some reason I can´t login here into the forum while using Safari.
I have to use from Firefox (like I'm doing now).
Does anyone know why?
Thanks,
Luís

Hi Luis . . .
Does your alias or real name have any accented letters?
If so, log in without the accents.
Does that help?

Cannot log in to Apple discussion forum

Hello,
I can't log in to apple discussion forum with safari on my MacBook Pro. With my iPod touch I haven't any problems. Why is that so? What can I do?
have you got a solution for me??
PS: I am from germany, so please excuse bad English.
Thanks

What should i do there
As mentioned above:
"If you do have any \[accented characters in your name\], change them to unaccented characters in the email section here: http://myinfo.apple.com "
The problem is connected to your first and last name associated with your AppleID, not the forum as such. In the 'email' section at the linked page you can change those.

How to integrate Blogs & Discussion Forums for Webcenter Suite 10gR3?

Hi,
One of our clients has just gone live with a Webcenter 10gR3 Portal implementation (using WC Framework). They're now interested in integrating blogs and discussion forums with their Portal.
My understanding is that blogging, discussion forum etc is not supported in Webcenter 10gR3. Correct me if wrong?
Can someone share any solutions which have been implemented around the same. Eg: I read about using blogs, wiki etc from Webcenter 11g Stack and exposing them web services.
Basically what are the possible options we can explore into?
Thanks,
Preethi

Thanks Venkat. Actually we're not considering migrating to 11g I was only looking for possible options and this was one of them that I read the forum.
Thought to adding some more information about this portal: It is developed in WLP so they're on Weblogic Server.
Jon Huang, Director Product Management for Webcenter Suite and Portal tells me
"The WebCenter 10.1.3.4 Additional Services releases contains wiki/blog/discussions and is certified with WebCenter 10gR3 version:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/owcs_10134_addtlservices.html
*You'll need to use WLS for these additional services.*"
That answers my question, but would appreciate if others can share any more info on similar implementations, if done.

"Connection reset" when trying to access Apple Discussion Forums

I am unable to log onto the discussion forums from my iBook since changing my ISP to a satellite Broadband service (Bordernet) in Australia. When I attempt to do so I get a message in my browser "The Connection was reset while page was loading."
I can access the site without problems from a PC on the same LAN without any difficulties - hence my ability to post this message.
Have also had some intermittent diffiulty in sending emails with (small) attachments (250-400k).
The ISP help desk suggested I reset the timeout in the Outlook Email program on the Windows machine to maximum. Did that, no change with the iBook.
Doesn't seem to be a issue of the Apple.com servers being overloaded, as I can fail to manage a log on with the iBook and easily do so with the Windows machine within seconds of switching machines.
I've also checked that passwords and logon name are the same on both machines.
Have tried connecting the satellite modem directly to the iBook as well as through the router (a D-Link 704-P) and the speeds are consistent -- so close to the same that they virtually identical.
Don't have any firewalls set on the iBook or through the router software, only on the Windows machine, and it is the one that works!
Have set up the proxies and port settings suggested by the ISP (10.16.143.73:9877) which result in a general speed increase earlier on, but did not solve this problem.
The people at the ISP haven't come up with an answer yet.
Is there a way to set the timeout on an ibook? (Altough I suspect that this is a red herring as I'm not so sure that settings in an email program will effect other internet settings as well...
Could there be other settings on the iBook that may be slowing things up enough to make this happen?
Any ideas?
IBook 900 mHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) 640 MB RAM, 80 GB Removable Fireware Drive
IBook 900 mHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) 640 MB RAM, 80 GB Removable Fireware Drive

I'm going to assume you meant... "NsurlerrorDomain: -1005".
Is it a Linksys Modem?
By the way... NSURLErrorNetworkConnectionLost
Returned when a client or server connection is severed in the middle of an in-progress load.
Available in Mac OS X v10.3 and later.
Sooo, while it may be something as weird as Satellite alignment/interference, I've read that trashing the whole Users/nnn/Preferences Folder fixid it, but maybe installing Applejack...
http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
Once installed, reboot, hold down the CMD+s keys, when the prompt shows, type in "applejack auto", (without the quotes), and let it run all 5 things in the series... thinking maybe a .cache is being held over from your previous setup!?
Anyway, once you really need Applejack, you can't install it or download it! :_)
Waiting to see if we get anywhere with this tact.
Oh yeah, that plist will be regenerated on a restart.

What date did Apple's discussion forums begin?

Does anyone know when the Apple discussion forums started?
I ask this in in relation to Apple being aware (through these forums) of consumer issues /problems / suggestions and then taking the information onboard in development of their products. In my mind the users of apple computers have fed back into the design and updating of hardware/software over the years and the forums (including the criticism they sometimes contain) have facilitated Apple to respond to user needs.
Thanks.

Apple folks may peek in here from time to time, but this is not where they get much, if any, such info. The only place I've ever seen an Apple employee post is in this one forum, about how the forums work. Otherwise, it's user-to-user.
I've asked a couple of Apple Product Engineers (for Time Machine) if they ever look in the forums for problems, and was told no. If you follow many threads here, especially the ones with lots of posts that might look like a fairly general problem, you'll usually find different problems, different hardware and software, all sorts of digressions, etc., and rarely enough specifics for anybody to figure out what's actually going on. It just wouldn't be very productive. They use actual problems reported to AppleCare, the bugreport site, or the feedback site, and no doubt do various sorts of market research, surveys, etc.
In addition, they do beta testing with experienced users who provide feedback for changes and enhancements, as well as problem reports.

Apple's Discussion Forums: an important technical resource

There have been ongoing discussions within Apple regarding whether or not to continue supporting these discussion forums, specifically, the issue of continuing to employ live humans to monitor and moderate them. It seems to me that it would not be a significant drain on Apple Computer Inc.'s resources to employ 1-2 persons to comb this (very large) discussions site for significant unresolved issues having broad relevance to the Mac user community. Said issues could then be routed either to a small, forums-dedicated team of Apple engineers, or distributed to the larger second-tier support group such that each tech rep would only have to handle a few responses per week (or month, depending on the size of the available employee pool). The net benefits to Apple -- in terms of reduced number of tech support calls, a more-empowered, self-sufficient, and satisfied user base, and increased goodwill toward the company -- would, in my estimation, more than repay the salaries and efforts required to keep these discussion forums running efficiently and effectively. I believe Apple is savvy enough and responsible enough to know this; they have probably done the calculus. Perhaps, then, our most important task is to let the parent firm know that we use and value this resource. Hopefully, Apple managers will note and make the right decisions.

Yes ... but why pay for it when they have a very good base of people that respond to postings? ... actually let me ask a better question.... if you were apple why would you bother to tell everyone the screen name of the moderator ... don't you think they'd get absolutely bombarded with email?
Maybe I'm a moderator ...

Can anyone recommend a Discussion forum that works with SSO?

Hey,
For a medium sized customer we are in the process of trying to find a discussion forum that they can use.
I was wondering if anyone have any other discussion forums, free or not, that they have implemented and works good with SSO and access restrictions?
We need to implement access restriction based on oracle application server user groups, and have SSO sign you in both to the discussion forum, and to the portal in general.
Grateful for any answers,
Sayeeas

Hi MHaddox
And welcome to apple discussions. LaCie is actually one of the better S-Drives for mac in terms of an external burner (at least from reading this forum). However, I haven't seen too much posted in terms of the Lightscribe feature itself. Perhaps one or more of these links will help (if not just come on back):

Is there a forum devoted to old laptops like the pb100? I'm trying to resurrect one and would like to discuss problems with others so engaged.

Funny - Safari won't let me log in Apple Discussions forums.

Funny - Safari won't let me log in Apple Discussions forums. I need to log on with Firefox to wright this massage.
Do you guys have any clue why I can't log on with Safari?
My current version of Safari is 5.0.3

Good advice, Dixmaxim.
If you still have problems after getting rid of the cookies,
check back to see if your real name or password has any accented letters,
like ø, etc. If so, replace with un-accented letters. Just a thought.
This has been happening for several years now, and it is very embarrassing.
I would have thought it would be fixed by now.

Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

Hi,
Apple in this case has to rely on what software is out there that can handle the amount of Traffic that these boards get.
This is from the Brows Option the selecting People in the box
Note the Number
At the Launch of the new software this was at just over 2,250,000 and has now topped 2,300,000
That is well over 50,000 people joining in just 2 weeks.
Jive are the only real players in this market.
To some extent the software is a one size fits all, much like the previous software was.
We got used to the look and the Folder type layout of the Previous software.
We ignored the foibles of where things were placed.
Things are somewhat double edged in my view.
I post mostly about iChat.
I don't like that the Leopard and Snow Leopard forums that were are now "Refine the List"/Tag led searching to read specific threads. (not to mention that returning to "Dicussions" loses the "refinement").
On the other hand those same threads and anwsers are now a lot more viewable in the OS forums than the subforums of before.
As a regular poster I use a couple of Boiler plate things for a welcome message and my Signature.
Some were made with TextExpander and included the HTML code to sttyle things slightly.
These no longer work without going to the HTML editor.
Posting link used to use the BBCodeXtra add-on to Firefox but this action is now included in the Regular and Advanced Editor.
That means I equipped myself and used things to get around shortcomings of the old software which is some cases I either don't need or need to learn the new way.
I am sure the Style will morph as we go along.
Of course some of this relies on what exactly you mean by:-
