Duke Stars Not Working ?

Is Duke Stars not working for anyone else? I havn't been able to use them for almost 2 weeks. I get a server error page every time I try to click on a link to do something with Duke Stars (add them to a topic, remove them from a topic, reward someone who posted). I have tried using the forums feedback to get help from sun, but now its been almost 2 weeks and all I have heard back is an email saying "I will pass this message along". Strange that getting a hold of someone from Sun for forum issues is so inconvenient and unreliable. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Here is the message on the Server Error page that I am getting:
Server Error
This server has encountered an internal error which prevents it from fulfilling your request. The most likely cause is a misconfiguration. Please ask the administrator to look for messages in the server's error log.

People here do not chose whether to reply based on dukes. If somebody does, he probably doesn't know enough to be helpful anyway.
Really, they are totally useless.
Sun doesn't seem to read or respond their feedbackThat's correct. The administration of this site sucks. Always has.Seriously - honestly ... I believe you if you say that you don't care for the silly duke stars, but I think the majority of folks here do care. I might be wrong, but it's just simple human nature ... and since most of us are guys to boot, yeah, we really care - people like getting plaques, trophies, medals - you name it ... for us it's degrees, certificates and even silly stars ... it's what we are.
What matters isn't if we care, but how we act in spite of it and to what degree we actively pursue them ... or anything else for that matter - does it cause us to loose site of more important things? ... do we loose focus on the main thing ... helping others and trying to learn ourselves?

Bookmark "star" in URL bar is not working

I'm clicking on the "star" to bookmark this page. It is not working and doesnt seem to be doing anything. The star shows it's animation on click, but does not allow me to save a bookmark.

Make sure that you do not double-click the highlighted star.
Just to be sure that you understand how it works:
* Clicking the star in the location bar will bookmark the page in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns yellow (blue on Mac) to show that.
* If the URL in the location bar is bookmarked (star at the right end is yellow/blue) then click the highlighted star or use "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) to edit the properties of the bookmark (name, location) and move it to another folder or remove the bookmark.
* The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder shows in the sidebar and the Library, but not in the Bookmarks menu drop down list.
* Bookmarks > "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) will bookmark the page in the Bookmarks Menu folder (you need to confirm that).

Gold star. I am I missing something or is ASC not working as usual.

All the replies that I see to a question have gold stars. What is going on? I though only posts several people marked as being good deserve a gold star.
Seems like ASC lives up to its design:
-- of implementing a new feature that do not work &
-- ignoring old features that do not work.
I guess this is consistent in a why, nothing works. Makes for a better management bullet point than fixing a bug.
Sure wish Apple would get its act together with these forums. Another instance in the general Apple trend of introducing new stuff when the current stuff doesn't work.
Notice how Kappy got a star within 15 minutes of my creating this question.

And "My Duke Stars" is now unusable

Before it just showed you what threads had earned you stars in the last month. Now it shows you all threads that have ever earned you stars... only not in date sequence. Want to know recent threads that you got stars for? Using your browser to search for "2007" sort of works.

Old Members what is 10 Duke Stars available

Hi to all...
I just want you to know i'm so excited for being new in here, and share my knowledge with the others in something that locked my devotion to for years.. JAVA...
but i didn't know what does it mean 10 Duke Stars available or 3 or...
at the top of some topics..and how do i get it...
p.s if there are any more rules or things i should know can you just tell me guys ...
Thanks and wish the best knowledge for all
Q.Najjar(^_^);

prometheuzz i've read that one, but this thing i was
telling you about i couldn't get ..
like who gives it to you and according to what...and
when is it given to you..
got my question ???From the How it Works tab of the link I already posted:
Duke Stars are typically offered on a forum thread when the original author of the thread wants to encourage active participation and solicit timely answers to their questions. Not every forum posting or thread will offer the opportunity to earn Duke Stars.
When a user starts a new thread, he has the option to offer up to 10 Duke Stars to respondents. Forums users earn Duke Stars for their own account by responding to threads that offer Duke Stars as rewards. The thread author determines which response merits the reward, and has full discretion over which respondent is awarded the Duke Stars. The thread author can split the Duke Stars amongst the posters whose answers he found most helpful, but cannot award himself.

1000 duke stars trade for some codes

Hello everyone, i've just got an urgent notice to complete my proj in 3 days time due to unforeseen issues.
i'm pretty much rushing my report out, so i wonder if any1 could really code something out for me if u're free or wanted to help me =( . I think i will get scolded in this thread, i know it's quite unappropriate for me to create this thread but i really need to rush the graphics out in 3 days time. i would not mind giving u a 1000 duke stars as my token of appreciation.
Basically, i have this graphics panel within my whole panel which has a forklift which will transport an item to a location. The item,forklift and location(which are shelves) are at 3 different positions initially. The idea is that i have 5 forklift, and when i choose 1 of them to transport the item to the shelves, it will transport the item and return to its original position after i press the proceed button. The forklift should get the item to transport and the location to be transported to from the microsoft sql server database. i am using JCreator to do this. I have done the neccesary GUI to insert the info into the tables etc(just lacking the graphics). Someone plz help me with this. Thx alot! I really really appreciate it very much. plz help me my fellow programmers.

2) If you think something is worth that many dukes it suggests that in fact you should be paying real money for it.

If you are willing to do your own work but simply have some guidance here then great. If not you should visit another site. Perhaps rent-a-coder.
If you are willing to do your own work then my first question to you would be, what are you doing. What are you looking to solve exactly? Do you just want to create a bunch of image files? Or are you trying to do custom painting of a component here?
If it's the latter see [_Custom painting in Swing_|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/painting/index.html] and [_the 2D graphics tutorial_|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/index.html]

Lenovo AIO C440 - not working infrared remote control

Hello,
is there any hint how to get infrared remote control working for a new C440 model? Tomorrow I will try to measure and/or replace batteries which could be bad. For now it is totally not working.
Another question: the remote should work only within AverMedia TV app or in the whole Windows 8?
Regards,
Zdenek

hi bohdik,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
The IR Windows Media Center remote control is for use with C440 models with optional TV tuner. If you have this model, make sure the TV Tuner driver and the ITE CIR Driver from the lenovo support site are installed under Device Manager (press Windows Key+R then type devmgmt.msc) then follow the Set up a TV signal in Windows Media Center. guide.
Note:
You must have Windows 8 PRO to enable Windows Media Center
See this articles in reference:
How to add Windows Media Center to Windows 8 Pro
How To Install And Set Up Media Center On Windows 8
Hope this helps

Application mgr. not working!!

Have found one more problem in my nokia 5233.
Today while playing around with my 5233, i found that now when i try to open app. mgr. on my phone to uninstall my installed apps, its not working anymore. its was working till yesterday.
Now whenerer it try to go to app. manager, either my phone restarts automatically or nothing happens at all.
Plz help want my app mgr back.
Solved!

This is a known fault caused by using a low speed card and many apps. You need to uninstall apps to a number which your memory card can support. Generally on a s60v5 OS, a class 2 card can support up to 50 or so apps (app type dependent) before app manager starts to go bonkers.
To uninstall apps when you cannot reach app manager, go to the menu where the app you want to uninstall, select options>organize>highlight app you want to uninstall>options>remove.

HP Flash drive ( v220w ) is not working - HP (Very worst Customer Support)

I am very very tired write this,
HP (Very worst Customer Support)
I have brought a HP Flash drive ( v220w )via flipkart.com on 08-March-2012.
Its having 2 years of warranty.
It was working fine till last month.
But after that unfortunately its not working I dont know that why its not working.
Then I find out the service center in chennai,
Maha Electronics at Adyar. They said like this is for only Hp Laptop and they giving one landline number to contact for that pen drive repair.
That lad line number is 044 28555449, And I called that number on 09-August-2013 Morning.
Thay replied that "This is not a HP support".
Again I searched for the HP Service Center and I found another service center
That address is
FORTUNE MARKETING PVT LTD
(HP PEN DRIVE SERVICE CENTRE)
G.F ABC Trade Centre,No.39/50,Anna salai,Chennai-600002, Landmark:Behind Devi Theater.
044 42663456.
And I callled this number (044 42663456) on 09-August-2013 Morning.
They asking my pen driver model. I replied that model is v220W.
He simply reply that "We are not repairing that model".
Then I asked that "Can you tell me where I can repair that model"
He just replied that "No Idea!!!" and he cut my call.
I was very scared that kind of activities.
I am asking this question, Please reply
They are not ready to repair that model of pen drive then why they manufacturing and give warranties (2 Years ! ! !).

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums. I'm sorry but this is a peer-to-peer community of HP customers, and not a venue to contact HP directly. Most of the users here are consumers like yourself who are offering solutions because they like to help others, and any HP employees you see are here on their own capacity and not representing the company.

Some keys still do not work on my Macbook Pro 13"

i have a 13" macbook pro running OS Mavericks
My laptop was on the bed and i found it with dog pee on the right side of the keyboard. i immediately cleaned the top of the keyboard and turned it upside down so liquid would come out. It was clean and the computer was still running so i thought everythings ok. i read 2 magazines and then tried to use my laptop again and noticed the keys were not functioning properly. i pressed several keys to test it and then turned it off. i lifted the laptop and noticed it was still wet underneath. i then felt liquid coming out of the right side. i turned the laptop on its right side so that i could force the liquid to come out. i pressed the power button and it didnt turn on. i attached the charger and noticed the battery was charging but the laptop would still not turn on. i opened the back casing. and saw liquid on top of battery, cd drive and hard drive. i wiped it and dried it with a hair drier. i also dried the keyboard but it would still not turn on.
i waited a few hours and went to the apple store. The service person immediately said the engineers would have to quote me for a new logic board and top case. all he did was stare at the logic board. there was a bit of corrosion but it was like small. i did not go through with the replacements since it would cost me $1330 just replacing and no service fee yet.
i went home and took out the battery, logic board and hard drive. i was able to clean underneath the keyboard which was still a bit sticky with dog pee. i wasn't able to remove the cd drive because the screws were so tight. i the reset the SMC and PRAM. The laptop started. When i was able to see the screen where it had different options like restoring and resetting preferences and something about drives i did not know what to do so i shut it down again. i still could not use the power button so i reset the SMC again. it is the only way to turn on my laptop.The laptop opened. The fan started and the screen showed the login grey screen. I noticed the keyboard was still not working. I could not login to my Admin account because it was password protected. i logged into guest. i went to system preferences and deleted my password for Admin So i could log in to my main account. All the while i was using the on screen keyboard to type which can be opened using keyboard preferences. I realized that my laptop was okay except for the keyboard.
I was able to login to my main account. However i noticed that i could not use my Wi-Fi. It had an error that said -- Wi-Fi: No hardware installed -- i then shut down the laptop once more and disconnected the wires attached to the logic board. i reset SMC again. i logged in my main Admin Account without password and it still showed Wifi hardware not installed. I went to System Preferences and connected the ethernet cable to my laptop. I followed instructions and set up my internet using a dsl connection. i typed my username and password still didnt work i typed my IP address, Subnet mask, Router, DNS server. I got the information from my iphone 4s which was using my current wifi. it still did not work. I kept trying to connect the ethernet restarting the procedures over and over again till suddenly the wifi started working out of the blue.
I then downloaded a remote keyboard app that allows me to use my iphone as a keyboard and trackpad so that i can use my laptop. After one day i can use almost all the letters on my laptops keyboard. however i still cannot use the function keys (except volume down), number keys, delete, enter, arrow keys and most of the punctuation keys do not work. fortunately the option and command keys work i noticed that the left side which i was able to clean from underneath is functioning properly while the right side is not. i also notice that the right side which was peed on has significantly lower back lighting than the left side. im wondering if there is anything else i havent done to fix this issue. pls help and thanks in advance
i will try to open the right side part from underneath to clean it but im apprehensive as i dont want to lose the current progress i have with the laptop.

your mac is not going to get better. liquid damage usually gets worse over time.
