Forum Features

What happened to the ability to cut out a block of text in a reply? You know,for instance if you have typed several lines and then decide one sentence should be snipped out and pasted elsewhere in the paragraph.Only option now is to backspace it out and retype.I thought we had it before, and also a 'Copy' button to copy text before posting?
I also thought we originally had the ability to attach a file to a reply?
******Clicking the Thumbs-Up button is a way to say -Thanks!.******
**Click Accept as Solution on a Reply that solves your issue to help others**

The question of attachments came from a couple of BSF users that I suggested move to this forum.The guys were struggling over how to exchange emails to transfer a driver file which was too large to add as attachment in the thread (BSF has that option,with 1MB limit).
I mentioned PM function and some of the other goodies here.The guys promptly moved their subject over here and quickly resolved their problem via PM.They seemed quite pleased with the forum here,but one did question why there was no 'attachment' option here.
The guys also wondered if there is an option in the works to subscibe to email notice of Daily New Posts for various forum categories,such as BSF has.As far as I know now the only thing you can do is subscibe to individual threads?

Mark for Review Forum Feature hides posts after 5th time

Hi SDN and BPX Forum Aficionados,
The abuse button has another little known feature that has the potential to really improve the quality of forum content.
You mark a post for review by hitting the ! icon, select a category and please add a couple of words why and it gets marked for moderation.
If there are 4 other people that think a post doesn't belong to this forum, the thread automatically goes into hiding until a moderator has time to look at it and can take action accordingly.
It puts the community back into the driver seat. If enough people think a post doesn't belong it is gone. You have to be logged in to do this. See the [documentation|http://www.jivesoftware.com/jive/entry!default.jspa?categoryID=33&externalID=1321&fromSearchPage=true]
The threshold is set to 5 at the moment throughout all forums. Probably it will have to be fine tuned over time depending on how active a forum is.
This is going to be really interesting in 2008.
Happy New Year to all of you, Mark.

Hi Althea,
Happy New Year to everyone.
At the moment the poster doesn't get a message automatically. Once a moderator has looked at it and rejected the post, there is a possibility of an email being sent. We are looking into that.
It is true, we have to explain a bit more about the functionality of the Report Abuse feature.
Will do so soon, Mark.

How to add 'forum' feature in my personnel website ?

I am new to web-development and Dreamweaver. I have one static personnel website which was developed by using Dreamweaver. I used to give online training to college students. Interacting with students all the time is not possible. I would like to add 'forum' feature in my personnel website, so that student can post their Queries and I can get opportunity to answer in my free time. And access to my forum is allowed to registered users only.Please share the tutorial for implementing this idea to my website using Dreamweaver .
Your suggestions are valuable.

Start with your web hosting provider. Some hosts have Forum plug-ins you can activate in your server's Admin or C-Panel. If no such feature comes with your hosting, you'll need to find out which server-side programming languages and databases your server supports. Also make notes about the versions of each as this will effect which Forum solutions you can use.
Then figure out what features are most important to you:
Price range,
How many forum members can it support at once?
Automated or manual Sign-up process?
Can it be customized?
Emoticons,
Avatars,
WYSIWYG editing,
How complex is the set-up & maintenance?
How about tech support?
Etc...

Where is the 'My Forums' feature?

Please. No watch list and no 'My Forums'? Come on Oracle.

The watch list is linked from your Control Panel. Or if you want to bookmark it, the url is similar to the one on the Sun forums

There's no My Forums feature that I can see anywhere. A fabricated url threw up a 404.

Forum features & how to use

The Signature
A signature is a pre defined message displayed on the bottom of any of one's post. It can be used just for fun to include hyperlinks, images, statements or whatever.
It's main use is to show everyone your hardware details. Knowing your hardware you can be helped a lot easier or you can just show off your stuff. Needing help you will be asked for what components you have anyway (>>Posting Guide<<) so a signature makes everything a bit easier because you won't have to add your details manually everytime you start a new topic.
Lets start to add a signature:
First click on Profile
Then navigate to Modify Profile/Forum Profile
Now you can add your personal text and everything you want the box next to Signature (note: Images mustn't be greater than 400x200 pixels)
Now just click on Change profile and you're good to go - signature added.
Adding an Avatar
Being in Profile/Forum Profile already you can also add an avatar to your profile. An avatar is a small image displayed below your name.
(Note: An avatar mustn't be bigger than 100x100 pixels and of .gif or .jpg format)
On top of the Forum Profile menu you can choose to add an avatar under Personalized Picture
No avatar explaines itself. Choose an avatar lets you choose from a number of various images (note: the Red Rockets avatar is for MSIHQ Red Rockets Team Members only)
Specify avatar by URL means you can place a link to an image. With Upload an avatar you can upload it from your pc to the forum by browsing on your pc and selecting yor image.
After selecting your avatar click on Change profile and you're good to go again - avatar added.
Adding an hyperlink to a post
Sometimes you might want to add a hyperlink in your post without having the whole adress displayed, this is how to:
When writing your post there's a menu with various buttons above where you enter your text. The button with the globe on it
will add a BBCode tag (you can type it instead of using the button too)
Code: [Select]
[url][/url]
Simply add the word that will represent the link between the Code: [Select]
[url] tags and in the first one enter your hyperlink after a =
The forum software will then convert everyting to a link:
Code: [Select]
[url=http://www.msi.com/index.php]>>MSI<<[/url]
will appear like
>>MSI<<
Add an Image to your post
Just like adding hyperlinks with BBCode tags it also works with images using
Code: [Select]
[img][/img]
You can only add images from the Internet not from your pc as you'll need an IMG code. Therefor you have to upload your image to an image hoster like Photobucket or Imageshack
Add the link and the software will convert the code to your image beeing displayed in the post
Code: [Select]
[img]https://forum-en.msi.com/images/05index_logo.gif[/img]
will appear like
Combining link and image
Like just having a word converted in a clickable link you can do the same with an image by combining the BBCode tags:
Code: [Select]
[img][/img]
+
Code: [Select]
[url][/url]
=
Code: [Select]
[url][img][/img][/url]
Example:
Code: [Select]
[url=http://www.msi.com/index.php][img]https://forum-en.msi.com/images/05index_logo.gif[/img][/url]
will appear like (click image to follow the link)
Adding a youtube video
You can also add a youtube video to your post (yes, we even have a BBCode tag for that)
Code: [Select]
[youtube][/youtube]
It works just like adding an image or link just with the youtube tags. Simply add the youtube link and you got it.
Code: [Select]

will appear like
Due to some enhancements it now works even without a BBCode tag. Simply post the link (WITHOUT hyperlink tags):
Code: [Select]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es3jV7dS74Y&feature=player_embedded
will also appear like
Contacting other Users
If you want to contact other users for direct questions or making friends you can use a Personal Message or E-Mail (if the other user allows that).
Note: This is a forum to post and ask for help or offer help, don't use it for contacting people directly with your issues. That would be considered very inpolite. To prevent spamming contacting other persons is only allowed to members with more than 10 posts.
To contact someone look at his details to the left of his post. Below his name and avatar there are some buttons. Clicking on the button for personal message or E-Mail you can send this user a PM or Mail:
Editing your post
Sometimes you will realize you forgot something or made a mistake after posting.
No problem, for 180 minutes after posting you can modify your post clicking Modify
After 180 minutes your post is contributed as is and can't be changed.

Forum (+ features?) for TextEdit?

Howdy all -
a) I'm looking for the appropriate forum for asking questions about TextEdit. I used the community serach box for identifying the appropriate community, but it gave no results in response to "TextEdit" or "Text Edit".
b) Is it possible to change defaults in TextEdit such as:
     i) size of new document window i.e. Zoom command;
     ii) %-zoom level;
     iii) # of recent documents in "File > Open Recent";
     iv) contents of header and footer?
I live and die by TextEdit because it meets most simple word processing needs (e.g. for meeting notes, course notes, lists, ideas, citations, study guides etc); opens damnfast; generally avoids all issues of compatibility when it comes to collaborations; offers better non-English language support than either Pages or Word (specifically right-left language and bi-lingual text support, e.g. Arabic & English on the same line) etc. So I am not really interested in changing programs over these issues unless the suggested programs do all of the above equally well (or better) and are cheap / free (!! - don't want to waste anyone's time here :-D).
I'm aware that one can create an application-specific shortcut for the % zoom-in found at the bottom-right corner [only visible in wrap-to-page mode] (> System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > "+" > TextEdit > zoompercentage% > Desired Short).
Similarly for the Zoom feature found under the Windows > Zoom (or the green circle in the upper right-hand size) it is possible to create an application-specific short cut; however, unlike its behaviour in other applications, it does not optimize the page for the % zoom-in selected. Rather, it optimizes the page size assuming one is working at 100%, only.
[[[ Side note for those who wish the green circle maximized the page size (i.e. full screen) instead of optimizing it (i.e. as large as the content requires, up to full screen): in many applications, if you push option-click green circle, it'll maximize the window. This doesn't work in all applications though, e.g. TextEdit! (I've tried it in Chrome, Mail, iTunes, Safari etc. and it works in all of them) ]]]
As for the other defaults mentioned, I haven't a clue. Any & all suggestions welcome and appreciated!
c) Despite its relatively good bilingual support, I have a recurring issue with TextEdit when toggling between English and Arabic keyboards. Every once in a while, when I toggle back to English, it changes the font to Lucida Grande, despite the fact that I've set the default to Baskerville. This seems to happen if I modify any part of the text created with one keyboard while in the other keyboard setting (e.g. if I have too many spaces after the last Arabic word and use backspace on the English keyboard and then start typing, the font changes). Generally if I just switch between the two without ever making mistakes (!!) it doesn't happen (or at least not often).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated (including where pre-existing TextEdit discussion might be found)!
All the best,
Rax

So I think I have finally discovered possible solutions to all of these issues myself and just thought I would share it in case anyone else was interested. The solutions are posted under each cited question below:
a) I'm looking for the appropriate forum for asking questions about TextEdit. I used the community serach box for identifying the appropriate community, but it gave no results in response to "TextEdit" or "Text Edit".
Right - this is it.
b) Is it possible to change defaults in TextEdit such as:
     i) size of new document window i.e. Zoom command;
The default size of a window in TextEdit can be set under the TextEdit preferences for a new document (TextEdit > Preferences ... > New Document > Window Size). The potentially confusing / misleading units of "characters" for width and "lines" for height do not specify anything to do with the document settings, only the actual program window. Also note that you cannot (so far as I can tell) have default "Wrap to Page" selected at the same time.
     ii) %-zoom level;
I did not find an alternative solution to the program-specific shortcut outlined in the question.
     iii) # of recent documents in "File > Open Recent";
I found this one by complete accident - stumbling about System Preferences. Go to System Preferences > Appearance > Number of recent items, there there are drop-down menus for the number of recent Applications, Documents and Servers, up to 50. It is applied across the board. Am a little surprised no one on the forum suggested this!
As for the header / footer info, I was not able to find any means of controlling that info - only how to turn it on/off in printing.
Ultimately my solution for being able to open new TextEdit documents that are the appropriate size (i.e. easily readable & appropriate point size) was to deselect "wrap to page" default, set the appropriate window size for a document in 150% zoom as the default and set similar / related shortcuts for wrap-to-page & 150% zoom. Along with the increased recent docs menu - it means managing documents in TE is that much faster.
If anyone has other ideas / solutions to these or any of the other issues mentioned in the first post, I'd still be very interested.

AWESOME new forum feature!

Check this out!
They have just added the ability to not only post your question but to also reply after someone has taken the time to try and help you out...so cool!
They've even added a new feature that allows you to mark posts as 'helpful' or 'solved'.
Man, this is so great...look into it people.
(and yes, I do feel better now thank you)

i feel kind of strange beating this originally funny, now just "tweet tweet, who let the buzz-kill in" post ... chowever,
good to know the 2 yellow, 1 green rule
now, i tried to go back & give a 2nd helpful person a yellowhelpful, but i couldn't figure out how;
also, i couldn't figure out how to "call it" and mark the forum as solved
i guess, you've got to enter those stars on the reply to the helpful/solved post -- if not, you forego the right/opportunity to mark them with stars
it is absolutely ridiculous that i care this much about this --
at the same time,
i care to make music
i am using logic to make music
this forum is invaluable to flowing with logic
& so, i should know how to flow with this forum
off off topic:
the real question:
why do i care to make music
it does not seem to care for me

Question on forum features and documentation

while I'm here, I'm curious - are there any plans to update the forum documentation? for instance, it took me a few weeks (and a bit of asking around) to find out how to make code blocks; it's not documented anywhere that I can find. that leads me to wonder whether there are other hidden features that would be useful if only I knew about them.

New forum features, again

Hi all,
And once again, there are new features and updates for you rolling out within the next day or so.
1. The avatar issue that some of us were having last week has been resolved, so avatars should be working for you. As I mentioned in the previous thread, I would give it 24 hours for your avatar to be approved, but it will most likely be faster than that.
2. You may have already noticed some UI changes related to our new communities coming on board, and there will be a handful more. All communities share a common set of public pages such as communications and dashboard, so you'll start to see a message on those pages indicating that they are public. There will also be a similar message popping up on the OTN home page in the next week or so. This is a temporary workaround to a larger issue that will eventually be fixed in Jive 7. In the meantime, we tried to make the messages as unobtrusive as possible.
3. Direct messaging, as we've mentioned before, is being enabled. This will only work for you if you are mutually following someone. We have a thread on Pros and cons of personal messaging. if you'd like to weigh in on the philosophical aspects of this feature.
4. Finally, I am still working on fixes to the editor, monitoring the email notification issue, and gathering information about the create document feature. I'll keep you posted.
I've locked the previous thread, so you can report glitches with any and all of the new features here.
Thanks!
Monique

If I go to my Communications tab it shows the message "This is a shared public page. To go to your community, use "Go Directly To.""
I'm a little confused how my own communications are a 'public' page?
I know you're trying to help those who are 'internal' to recognise when they're possibly going to post something in public, but not sure if having this on a persons own communications is valid.

OT: New Forum Feature

Has anyone noticed the new breadcrumb links at the bottom of the topic pages?
-Jeff

Oh, the "flags." How I miss my flags. I want my flags - I want my flags!
The "New" bug/banner was also nice and is missed. "Last Post" is good, but obviously only shows the "last post." There could well be a dozen, since the previous visit. Those little bugs were great too.
While I miss both of those in most of the Adobe fora, I REALLY miss them in the Encore Forum/sub-fora.
Dang, I feel like a whinner, and DO like some aspects of the new forum layout. I also realize that it is a work in progress. I can even take having to log-in about half the time, and will tolerate being kicked off, even if I posted 40 sec. before. That this new scheme does try and save much of the post, that did not go through, is a positive. Do not know what its timing is, but I've actually gotten back ~ 50% on some posts.

New forum feature: A button or option to jump to the first unread message in a thread.

It would be handy if we had a way to open a thread and jump to the first unread message in the thread. This is especially usual when reading very active threads and it would save us some time getting back to the point in the discussion where we left off.

Lockdown feature sharepoint foundation 2013

Hello,
when I wanted to active the limeted access lockdown feature for a team site collection foundation 2013 I did not find it listet under site setting/ site collection features...
When using Power Shell tells me there is no such a feature available, also when searching in "15\bin" I did not find something equal to it.
I used previously foundation 2010 and had no problem activating viewformpageslockdown via stsadm.
Does somebody knows how to enable?
It is not enabled by default because I have already published this team site colletion and anonymous users are able to view list items which they were not able to see in previously foundation 2010...

How to make a Website in Muse with a Login Forum

I need to build a website for a client in Muse which has access to a Login Forum, so that users can login to a secure site and upload messages and images/video. I have never done this before, but I'm quite experienced in other aspects of Web Design and in Adobe Muse. I'm guessing I will have to use Business Catalyst to do this and intend to host the site on BC. I need to know if this can be done using just Web Basics, or if I have to upgrade to Web Basics+, or higher? Does anyone know of any tutorials, or other help on this subject?
This is not going to be an eCommerce site, I just really need to have the function of a secure web forum with a few other standard pages, HOME, ABOUT etc
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Shaun,
Yes, you are right. You can achieve this if you host your site on Business Catalyst. This feature is not included in webBasics+ plan. You need at least webmarketing plan to use the Forums feature. Please refer to this link for info on how to add forums in BC : http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/add-forum.html
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers!

Forum post ID's and broken tag rendering

Hi all and Merry summer solstice
How do I reference the forum post ID's?
I saw a post relating to the tag {tag_blogpostid} - what is the equivilent tag for forum posts?
My customer is a forum user, and they have used really basic forums in the past, however to bring the BC forum up to a really basic functionality level, we have to impliment typical forum features externally. However, to achieve this we MUST be able to reference the forum post ID's.
What is the tag for this?
I've also noticed that many tags don't seem to render properly - eg. {tag_postauthoralias} will render once, but every other occurance fails to work. I gather this is a bug?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers.
Jupiter

Just post a reply to your thread with the answer. Once you do that, you can click a "Solves it" button on the right side of that post and that will mark your issue as solved.
Moderators or the poster of the thread can not mark a thread with no replies as solved.
'''Answer seron posted in update above:'''
<br>
Update: This happens only locally, not when the files reside on the web server. In the later case both pages render as the page residing in root locally. I consider the issue solved.
