Discussion thread removed, Why?

Hi
Yesterday I created a discussion thread, regarding the new advertising standards authority legislation, to which a number of people did present there opinions and thoughts.
Today all traces of this thread have been removed, it does not appear in any history or my list of discussions created, this points to the thread having been removed. I am therefore left wondering why?
The tread was not meant to offend, (and did not do so as far as I can ascertain) but generate thoughts and opinions on such legislation, more legislations are to come and simply ignoring them is I think not a valid argument, but definitely something worthy of at least a discussion on the forum, as they will in some way affect almost everyone. If anyone, (possibly a moderator) can please explain why this discussion was removed I would be grateful.

Hi
First, thank you David for clearing this up for me, as I can now post a reply to a few of the points that where raised in the original thread for those interested.
After some research/questions into what the legislation means for those of us involved in designing/developing web sites, I have received the following information -
It is not the intention of the ASA, (Advertising Standards Authority) to interfere with legitimate web sites offering legitimate services or products, but to stop those sites advertising services or products that are not regarded as 'genuinely deliverable', (e.g. SEO sites claiming that you will be on the first page of Google, or that having a web site will increase your sales) pirated items, (software, video, etc) or counterfeit goods, (offering products that are not genuine or as advertised).
Stop the abuse of email marketing campaigns that the targeted person has not signed up to, or has no way of stopping. (similar to that of mail-shots or telephone cold-calling).
Ensure that all concerned with any form of advertising or offer of services on the internet, act in a considerate and responsible manner to all users of the internet.
Now to the other points, and these are the result of the 'lack of action' within the web design/development community as a whole to implement changes themselves, notification of possible legislation was indicated by the European community commission 4years ago regarding this, (note: I remember this notification, and I did write about it in a reply to a thread 2 years ago) -
What constitutes a professional web designer/developer - No official training or qualifications are to be required, nor are any to be expected. But it is to be expected that anyone offering these services should at least have a good understanding and be able to implement to a satisfactory standard, the lessons of the 'Web Standards Curriculum' as appropriate to the services offered. This are now offered, (free of charge) by both Opera at - http://www.opera.com/company/education/curriculum/, and Firefox at - http://www.drumbeat.org/p2pu-webcraft. An Open university course in modern web design/development that includes html5/css3, PHP/MySQL is also now available, a degree in 'media studies' alone is NOT regarded as a qualification or experience in web design/development.
Professional bodies - Membership to any professional organization is not seen as a qualification, though it is hoped that the community will adopt and enforce via 'peer pressure/user groups' or similar, a professional 'Code of Practice' that can be seen as a standard to which the community as a whole will aspire to uphold.
Other government departments are also to receive powers to protect the consumer over the coming years. One such is the OFT, (office of fair trading, which does now have the powers required) which is to ensure that action is taken to uphold current legislation regarding the availability of services as defined in the disability's discrimination act and other legislation, they have the powers to remove a web site completely, and enforce a court order that stops the site owner(s) trading under another name, (action will also be taken against anyone who knowingly assisted such infringements of the law).
O/K, that's the main points I think, any questions, and please Osgood_ no abusive language as I can already hear it from here .

Why doesn't the HTC One (M8) Windows Phone have it's own Device Discussion Thread?

I was looking to see what issues people have had with the HTC One (M8) but there is no discussion thread on this device; one of the two WP Verizon still sells. Who has one & do you like it?

To add to poster above, this issue is really with MS not pushing their product and not working with devs to get more and better apps. Also, you know VZW isn't pushing a WP because it isn't a Droid. I sincerely hope WP gives Android and Apple a run one day, but right now the closest we will see a major MS push is later this year when their new phones start arriving.

Does Nokia have product Beta-Testing nowadays?

Hello Moee
Two ways to close Music application in N73-ME_4.0736.3.2.1
1-Hiding it(running in background)
2-Purely Exiting(this option comes with the FM-4.0736.3.2.1)
Nokia didn't kill the equilizer as u all discussing about it here
there are only some bugs in the Music application specially with Equilizer
just get that it works fine but making some tricks
choosing the first way of closing application will deal with u as u do before,
before any thing u do in Music application create or actiavate ur setting and just get back to the stand by mode.
going again in Music will show u all the settings set in there relative presets
and choosing the 2nd and starting Music application again also works fine if u do as in first described
but only settings are not shown correctly but take it in mind that they all(default settings and ur presets as well) work fine try to re-actiave them while listening to music
u will notice changes
and remember in computers, things are not purely meant to be completely bug free.

No sync with audio for input files AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1366584
No any Copyrighted content was used.
Free sample was downloaded from here:
http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/
Using Avisynth made convert 24.000 fps to 23.976 fps, AVS opened in VirtualDub, and converted to XviD.
Audio was converted from PCM to AC3 via BeLight and was added to AVI.
And later was merged 9 equal 10-minutes parts to obtain total length 1 hour 30 minutes.
So what is the problem?
You even do not downloaded my AVI file, to see what it not any full commercial movie.
Too fast to close topics, it is impolite.

Alex,
I am a bit confused as to your workflow. I just downloaded the Big Buck Bunny, 2D 1080p 60fps Sunflower version to check it out. I don't have your original link so I am not certain exactly what you downloaded.
It came to me as a 692MB Quicktime file. Big sucker. Took over 7 minutes to get it via the HTML link. It is only 9:56 in duration. Is there more to get 1.5 hours?
In any case, the video came as H.264 in a MOV wrapper at 24 frames per second. According to Premiere Pro and according to MediaInfo. It is 24 not 23.98 or 23.976. I get all that, but I don't get why you separated the audio, or why you care about the frame rate.
What is the point behind this exercise? What is wrong with using the video the way it is. It seems to work great in Premiere Pro. Why not just export it to whatever it is that you want to use ot for? At whatever frame rate you want?

Safari was very slow in opening up Google sites. I found a discussion thread that suggested changing the "Configure IPv6" setting to "Off" in the System Preferences, Network, Advanced, TCP/IP section. That seems to work well. Are there any risks?

Safari was very slow in opening up Google sites. I found a discussion thread that suggested changing the "Configure IPv6" setting to "Off" in the System Preferences, Network, Advanced, TCP/IP section. That seems to work well. Are there any risks to leaving the Configure IPv6 setting to Off?

Nope. You can always reverse that if you choose.

Is there a separate discussion thread for educators using ibook?

Many of us in higher education are trying to use ibooks as text or as lab manuals. Are there discussion threads for the particular ibook issues teachers/instructors/professors might come across? Thank you.

No, unless you are into the production of ebooks, then there are forums at

I have Mac OS 10.6.8 - "flash plug-in failure" now mostly continuous. A user 2wks ago suggested in thread: remove .xpt in apps library. Wonderful then! Now plug in

I recently bought & downloaded Mac OS 10.6.8 — "flash plug-in failure" in SAFARI 5.0.5 now mostly continuous. A user 2wks ago suggested in thread: remove .xpt file from apps library. I did that and mac was working wonderfully then!
Now plug in and download failures are awful, as in frequent. What do I do??? Please help. I am running an iMac 24, that's about 5 years old.

Hi.. Ms. Bee from Delaware. Its just an opinion.
I seriously doubt, if 90% of the users have no issues with Safari and feel comfortable using it. There could be something wrong with your statistics here... oh yeah..
Please try to Google search : "a Flash malfunction Magnet"
I do agree that, most Adobe flash based programs crash on a Mac. But, its Vimeo's fault to adopt flash.
The majority of the internet community use flash content/plugins. Unfortunately not HTML5, that Safari is good at performance in comparison to Flash apps.
10% of the 3rd party internet Enhancers like Ms.Apple Developer should transform the Flash community.

Discussion Thread Publish / Approval Process

Hi,
Is it possible to apply the KM publishing approval process to discussion posts? Can a reply to an initial post be sent to an approver before begin displayed to users?
Is it also possible to set expiration dates to discussion threads similar to KM document time based publishing?
Are there any auditing reports for posts that detail user, topic, date/time?
Thanks

Hi Nat,
It's not possible to do that. You can not apply approval process to a discussion only is used by documents, idem to lifetime cycle. Also exist this kind of report.

How to easily make reference to a discussion thread ?

There are several good discussion threads in the different forums offered that solve Users problems with Oracle. So, if I were to refer someone to a discussion thread I need to state forum name, author name, topic description and a date of the last update so that the person can read the information.
Is there a discussion thread number or some easier way to refer people to a specific discussion thread ?
Thank you.
Pedro Garza

why don't you use the url? it's the easiest way.

Open Discussion Thread in Modal Dialog

Hi again,
I am wondering if it possible to have SharePoint open a discussion thread in a modal dialog. To be clear, this happens when someone adds a new discussion thread (ie. creates a new one). However, when clicking on an existing one to provide a comment, this
opens in a new page rather than in a modal dialog. I would prefer the modal approach as the user then doesn't leave the page when submitting a reply to a thread.
Is this possible?
thanks!

I have a solution, but
This will require the use of SharePoint Designer.
It has not been heavily tested, and only tested in SP 2010.
The reply counts will not be automatically updated in the base discussion page.
The page will be "unghosted" (customized) and might not upgrade correctly to the next version of SharePoint.
Use at your own risk, batteries not included.
Steps:
Launch SharePoint Designer and open the site with the discussion board.
In Navigation pane click All Files. (If this is not displayed your administrators may have partially locked down Designer.)
Click Lists
Click your discussion list
Click Allitems.aspx
In the Ribbon click Advanced Mode
find the following lines:
</ZoneTemplate></WebPartPages:WebPartZone>
</asp:Content>
In between these two lines insert a blank line and paste the JavaScript below.
Save your changes, return to the discussion list and test.
<script>
function ttnGoToDiscussion(url)
var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.url = url;
options.width = 800;
options.height = 500;
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
function ChangeHowDiscussionsOpen()
GoToDiscussion = ttnGoToDiscussion;
ChangeHowDiscussionsOpen()

Discussion Thread

I am looking to implement some discussion thread and collaborative functionality in our Oracle portal. Can anyone recommend some free portlets to accomplish this functionality?

Hi,
A few collaborative portlets are available free for download from "Integration Solutions" page. You can get portlets on SMTP, IMAP, Lotus Notes, MS Exchange & SMS from http://portalstudio.oracle.com/servlet/page?_pageid=3189&_dad=ops&_schema=OPSTUDIO Click on "Download Integration portlets" to download these portlets, you will be asked to authenticate yourself using the OTN username/password.
A discussion forum portlet has been developed by Peter Moskovits that can be accessed from this discussion forum thread Re: Discussion forum implementation problem
btw, what sort of collaborative functionality are you looking forward to?
Regards,
Abhinav

Do moderators remove whole discussion threads?

yesterday I read/replied to a post (in a forum I don't remember, alas) but it was regarding someone switching from windows and that he got banned for cussing or freaking out or something, but was back and gonna play nice, etc. - anyhow, that aside, some folks were trying to help 1) decipher his question(s) and 2) help him out.
I posted a response, but can't find it (my response or the thread)
reason I'd like to is one of the other responders posted a list of links to items that may help folks new to Macs.
Anyhow, I had to leave and was gonna pick up on those links again today, but can't find my post (it was there, others had followed mine as well) - the whole thread/discussion seems to be gone.
I'm just trying to track down that list of links to the resources one of the responders listed related to switching/using macs (I don't remember the names of the posters)
Anyhow, am I missing something or is it possible the moderator(s) just removed the whole thread for some reason or another?

Yes, when we feel it is necessary an entire topic will be removed. This is typically done when the topic is spam, a non-constructive rant, or nothing but wild rumor and speculation. We do not like to remove topics that may contain valuable information and prefer to edit or even lock, but it does happen.
I checked and the topic you were looking for was removed by the staff.

Remove quoted text from reply to discussion thread

Hi again,
I have read about a dozen threads online about how to achieve this. Problem is, none of them work for me.
When I add the script to my CEWP and hit save, it looks like SharePoint strips out the code I have just put in, leaving an empty content editor again.... What is going on?

No luck.
I tried the three scripts again, this time using a link to the source file (.html) rather than placing the code directly in a CEWP. To be clear, I am trying to add this code (CEWP) at this location:
http://SiteCollection/Site/Lists/ListName/NewForm.aspx?ContentTypeId=0x0107
Nothing happens. Quoted text is still there.
