Helpful answer not acknowledged, so no points?

My question "What's it take"
This question is answered. "Helpful" answers available: 0. "Solved" answers available: 1.
I gave two of Tom Gewecke replies the helpful thumbs up.
This is not reflected in the summary at the top.
I had to "solve" the question myself
and wanted to (did) post the solution so
the the thread would look and be resolved
but could not mark the post a solved
so a person still had to hunt.
Should be a way to do that.
The only post marked solved was an offshoot
based on a misconception that had nothing to do
with my question.
And its weird that the first sentence
"This question..." shows up when
I am not logged on and disappears when I do.
Very squirelly.

....There should be a way to display this info
at least in our profiles or somewhere.
There clearly isn't, otherwise one would imagine it would be there to see. If one assumes that the administrators of the site know what they are doing, they would hardly invent a system of points (however accrued) and levels (whatever they mean) and then go to the trouble of preventing us from seeing the resulting data unless there were a good reason.
As for the supposition that most posters mark their thread as answered without marking who gave the answer and thus awarding points, that has not been my experience overall so far. When I last checked the discussion in which I primarily participate, of the last 50 threads, 18 were marked solved and of those 14 had points awarded by way of solved or helpful tabs.
I never thought about collecting stats from the old system, but the rate of threads being marked seems about the same now as it did before. The only difference I see is that the OP now has control over saying what worked, if they choose to do so, where I would personally prefer the option to permit other people to indicate positive contributions as well. Of course we can still do that by posting 'great idea......!' messages for everyone to see even if we don't have voting rights anymore.

Why do help answers not address the question asked

My cursor defaults to the top left and I want it to default to the top right
When I ask the question how do I change this, the answers have NOTHING to do with cursors and don't come close to answering the question
How do I change the default cursor position?

Hi finitarry, in Firefox 27, as in earlier versions, if you open a new tab using Ctrl+t (for Windows), the new tab page displays and the cursor is in the address bar waiting for you to type the desired address. I use the default (about:newtab) as my new tab page. Pages that move the focus to their own search box may override Firefox's default behavior.
Hi ilikefree09, as far as I know, there is not a built in setting to move the cursor to Firefox's search bar when opening a new tab. The address bar shares search engines with the search bar, so if your search has more than one word, you can just type it in the address bar. (If your search is only one word, then the address bar will test whether it is a valid server name out on the network, which may not be what you want.)
By the way, I've attached a screen show showing what I mean when I refer to the address bar and the search bar in case you use a different name for those features.

J1IS (After GI in STO Process) will reward points for any helpful answers

Dear Gurus,
After Goods Issuance of Stock Transfer Order:
I did a capturing and posting of Excise Invoice referencing the Goods
Issuance Material Document (of STO) using transaction J1IS. Excise
Document is created succesfully and displayed in the pop up message,
but FI document is not displayed in the pop up message (but it actually
got created in the system).
The pop up message looks like this:
"Excise invoice 001020026 generated. FI document is ."
Is there a SAP note to enable the FI document number to be displayed in
the pop up message?
Will reward points for any helpful answers.
Thanks,

The original poster is the only one that can award you points, and it seems that in both your examples the original posters clicked the "Answered" button but didn't think it was worth assigning points to you.
Now I don't think it's a BIG deal because those "points" don't have any intrinsic value. At times, you'll find the regulars joking about 'how many for the stuffed animal' or 'how many for the next free ugrade', but that's all just that -- fooling around. But in a certain sense, the point system *does* have its merits. If you, as a questioner, are given two wildly different answers, one from someone with "2 posts, no points" and one from a person with "5,340 posts, 15,335 points" -- who'd you trust?
(Then again, the point system is "global" on the entire Adobe forum; meaning if you are an 'expert' in, say, Illustrator, and gained a lot of points over there, you can mess with the system by answering in other forums as well. "We Regulars" don't really care about the points. I think.)
(As for my lost post count, points, avatar, and private messages history: ... I No Longer Care. Given all the other shortcomings of this forum's software (Jive), it seems the wisest thing to do.)

Awarding points "helpful answers" etc

Hi
Can someone tell me where to find info about awarding points on these Adobe forums. And helpful answers, etc, how it works? I am familiar, for example, with Experts Exchange where there is similar points, etc. In Experts Exchange, for example, points can be split, etc.
I have received much helpful, invaluable, assistance here and I want to give points appropriately.
Thanks
Rowby

And, if one has posted a question, and say Harm answers it, and then later on adds useful info in another reply, the poster can then award him yet again.
There have been some humorous awards around these parts, since Adobe went to Jive with the salami and the points. I've seen times where a poster would nail an issue, and then another would reply that the OP is a dunce and needs to read the manual, before posting. The second reply would end up getting the big points, and the poster, who actually answered the question gets hosed.
On some posts, there might be 4 - 5 correct answers, and then the OP comes back, as says something like "ha, I figured it out all by myself, so none of you gets any points." Most often, that self-discovered solution had been suggested by most of the others, but had obviously been completely overlooked - or maybe those OP's are just having "sport" with us?
One very long recent thread had many correct replies, to the OP and to additional questions. All should have qualified for something kind of "atta' boy," but then someone replied - "never saw that before," and got the Correct Answer.
We had one post recently, where keyboard shortcuts were asked for. A poster pointed to the location of all default keyboard shortcuts in Help and pointed out that these could also be customized. No points. Then, several others chimed in with shortcuts, like L for Love, etc., and the points all went to them.
In general, most of us do not follow pts., or really care about them (except for banter in the Lounge), and getting the OPs' issues solved is "payment" enough. That is what matters to us. We end up making light of the pts., and discussion is just a release for most of us - a little bit of humor, when we've been concentrating heavily on someone's problems.

I can not delete some power point files in the trash.help?

I can not delete some power point files in the trash.help?

Hi Gary,
The presentations were created originally with PowerPoint. I have been using them on both KeyNote and PowerPoint with no problem, even after updating to MountainLion. Problems started at the 10.8.3 upgrade. The installation was an upgrade form Lion. Yes I mean Open Office, I am able to open the presentation with Open Office and play it with no problems.
The presentation gets loaded by Power Point and the Power Point freezes. Key Note can not even load it. Stops 3/4 of the way. This happens with ALL my presentations.
I want to thank you for your help.

Presenter not loading into Power point - help

I need help
Been using Presenter in Power Point. it froze yesterday. Had to shut down. When re-opening computer and PP, Presenter was no longer there.
Have uninstalled Acrobat 9 extended, Presenter , and MS Enterprise (with PP). all new downloads. Re-installed. Everything acts like it installed fine, but NO Presenter inside the Power Point. Have repeated and re-peated. disabled McAfee. repeated. No luck. I'm running on a pretty new HP with windows 7.
Spent hours in chat with university helpers and hours with Adobe helpers - totally useless.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks
Carolyn

How do I compress a file on a Mac. I do not see and option to compress a file when I right click on it and the Apple help does not provide and accurate answer

Select the file with one click, then go to File in the menu bar and select Compress...
By the way Niel's post says control - click. This means click with the control key held down. It produces the same result as going to File in the menu bar and selecting Compress...

If you don't see the 'send reset info' button on the page where you can change them then I assume that you don't have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. As you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset. You could try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

ITunes No Longer Runs--iTunes Helper Resources Not a Valid File Name

I made a dumb mistake (I think) and tried to install iTunes onto an SD card. At first, my computer would only let me open iTunes if the SD card was installed. I tried to reinstall to the C drive, but keep getting the "I Tunes Helper Resources not a Valid File Name" message. At this point I want to uninstall everything and start over, but I'm afraid I'll lose my music. I still have all the files but, of course, none will open since I don't have a properly installed iTunes anymore. Would appreciate any assistance in uninstalling, reinstalling and saving my current music files.

Here's what I decided to do. Fortunately, all the files were still available, so I simply backed them up from my iTunes Music Library onto a 32 GB flash drive then transferred the new stuff onto an older computer in my office with an older version of iTunes. I had to do this in several shifts since I have more than 32GB of music. Everything that transferred plays well. Next I'll try to wipe iTunes completely off the new computer, reinstall an older version of iTunes and then reload all the files onto the new computer. What a PITA!
