High ASCII in discussion forums

When using Safari 2.0.3 on many discussion forums,
"High ASCII" characters such as greek letters and
mathematical symbols will not display in my posts. I
wonder what could be the problem, because if I type
the same characters in Camino, they display properly
in my posts.
Many discussion forums use a Latin-1 encoding. This means the browser must convert anything above ascii into numerical references like & #12345;. Mozilla-type browsers do this, but Safari does not. Forums intended to accomodate Greek or Math should use UTF-8, like this one does.

"Printer view" in discussion forums

It would be very convenient to have a "Printer view" in the discussion forums, like in the Articles. That way you would be able to actually see the text on the paper.

Welcome to the New NI Discussion Forums!

We are excited to present the NEW and IMPROVED NI Discussion Forums to you, our valued community members!
The community not only had a face-lift, it now offers a full set of advanced personalization features and it is available in seven languages!
Here are some tips to help you get around the new system:
What do the boxes next to the user names mean?
This is the new user ranking system. The three boxes represent the user’s score in the three performance metrics: ratings, posts, and logins. The darker the box is shaded, the higher the user has scored in that performance metric.
The box on the left is the average message rating the user has received.
The box in the center is the total number of posts the user has contributed to the community.
The box on the right is the number of times the user has logged into the community.
The blue boxes designate the user is an NI Employee while the gold boxes are reserved for NI Partners and customers.
How do I find a thread from the old system in the new system?
If you have the title of the thread, we recommend searching for it using the search bar at the top or bottom of the page.
If you do not have the title of thread or cannot find it with search, but you know that you posted to the thread, we recommend that you login and click on your Alias at the top of the page to view your profile. From your profile page, click on the Find All Posts by this User link and scroll through the results to find the thread.
If you do not have the title of the thread and you didn’t post to it, but you know the Alias of someone else who did post to the thread, conduct a User search to find that user. Click on their Alias to view their profile page and then use the Find All Posts by this User link to find the thread.
If you do not have the title of the thread and you don’t know the Alias of any user who posted to it, we recommend browsing the board that you believe it would be in until you find it.
How do I personalize the forums?
Once you login, click on the My Profile link at the top of the page. From the tabs on this page, you can modify your time zone, ratings preference, font size, emoticon style, etc to personalize your experience. As long as you remember to Save Changes before you leave the tabs, your forum will be personalized for you each time you login.
What languages are supported?
The user interface is translated into the following languages:
Chinese (Simplified)
Chinese (Traditional)
English
French
Korean
Japanese
Spanish
Note: The language in the My Preferences tab in the forums only controls the language for that session. As soon as you logout and login again, your language will be reset to the language that you have configured in your NI User Profile. To modify the language configured in your NI User Profile, visit www.ni.com/profile.

What does Float mean?
You can choose to pin boards or threads to the top of the lists so that when you are logged in they are the first things you see. To do this, click on the up arrow to the right of the board or message you want to Float to the top of your lists. When you no longer want this message or board at the top of your lists, you can click the arrow again to UnFloat the board or message.
Why are there smiley faces in the sample code pieces?
There are times when the pieces of code include the same characters that are used to create an emoticon in the forums. To disable emoticons so that you can see the code correctly, follow these steps:
Sign In or Register to the forums if you are not already logged in
Click My Profile in the User Bar at the top of the page
Click My Preferences to view the My Preferences tab
Change the Emoticon Type to None in the My Preferences tab in your Profile
Click Save Changes
Now when you browse to the thread, the code should be displayed correctly.
Emoticons will no longer be displayed in any messages you view in the forums until you change the Emoticon Type back to one of the other types.
If you have additional questions or feedback about the upgrade, refer to the Help or post to the Feedback on NI Discussion Forums board.

Just a couple of comments:
1. In the CVI forum, I couldn't post a message which included the C #include syntax with angle brackets. It interpreted the angle brakcets as HTML, gave me an HTML syntax error, and deleted the angle brackets as well as the .h file they enclosed. There may be a way in HTML to escape the angle brakcets so they can be included as text rather than interpreted as HTML, but I shouldn't have to do that in a C forum.
2. When I got the HTML error message above, it also deleted the file I had attached so when I posted the message, there was no attachment.
3. I don't get automatic hyperlinks in any posts I read or create. The text of the URL is there, but I can't just click to link to the new page. Am I missing some option?
4. Older but updated messages don't come to the top. I like to see new activity even if I'm not subscribed to that thread.
5. When reviewing the list of messages in the forums, I'd like to see the ratings of the author and of the reply (even before opening the message). In the old forums, the messages where tagged "Answered by Enthusiast" and/or "High rating".
6. I'd like to see the buttons to rate an answer even if I'm not logged. If I try to rate an answer when I'm not logged on, it could prompt me to log on first. If the rating buttons are only available if you're logged on, I think the number of ratings will be drastically reduced.
7. I miss the list of top contributors (formerly known as Enthusiasts). I think it was a good way to foster community and to get to know active members. It also generated some friendly competition to see who had more posts and who had higher ratings.
8. I liked the old organization with two sections to show the newest answered questions separate from the newest unanswered questions.
9. Some of the new search options are good additions. I'd like to combine the user search and the message search. For example, I might like to search for any message from Bilal on DLLs.
10. I had to make this a Top 10 list. I'm impressed by the amount of work that went into the new forums. Keep it up!

Hello Gerardo,
I was not aware that you work for NI. I have some important questions for you:
Assume we use your trick and wrap a Timed Sequence around the outer Loops of State Diagram Toolkit generated code.
Now the user code runs at a Priority above High Priority, but below Time Critical Priority. Right?
Questions:
1) Which, if any, System (RTOS) processes will Preempt User Code running at this Priority Level ?
(Probably the Memory Manager / Garbage Collector, but we are not doing any operations which should make GC kick in)
2) If the User Code still can be preempted by System Processes, what is timewise the upper bound (apart from GC) of these processes?
i) The System Processes may run for a long time, so the Time Slice of 10 ms will be the upper bound ?
ii) The time is much shorter, shorter than X ms, where X is ?
Please, knowing this will give us more peace of mind !
And, if you may, which processes may Preempt High Priority?
We have run our endurance test now for 39 hours and it has performed 150.000 Relay Operations as described in the White Paper. It has met the expected Min / Max response time perfectly every time.
It has 24 processes running at High Priority and one Communication Process using Shared variables running at Normal Priority. So the system seems to work, but we must know before deploying the system at the customer site!

Convert smart quotes and other high ascii characters to HTML

I'd like to set up Dreamweaver CS4 Mac to automatically convert smart quotes and other high ASCII characters (m-dashes, accent marks, etc.) pasted from MS Word into HTML code. Dreamweaver 8 used to do this by default, but I can't find a way to set up a similar auto-conversion in CS 4. Is this possible? If not, it really should be a preference option. I code a lot of HTML emails and it is very time consuming to convert every curly quote and dash.
Thanks,
Robert

I too am having a related problem with Dreamweaver CS5 (running under Windows XP), having just upgraded from CS4 (which works fine for me) this week.
In my case, I like to convert to typographic quotes etc. in my text editor, where I can use macros I've written to speed the conversion process. So my preferred method is to key in typographic letters & symbols by hand (using ALT + ASCII key codes typed in on the numeric keypad) in my text editor, and then I copy and paste my *plain* ASCII text (no formatting other than line feeds & carriage returns) into DW's DESIGN view. DW displays my high-ASCII characters just fine in DESIGN view, and writes the proper HTML code for the character into the source code (which is where I mostly work in DW).
I've been doing it this way for years (first with GoLive, and then with DW CS4) and never encountered any problems until this week, when I upgraded to DW CS5.
But the problem I'm having may be somewhat different than what others have complained of here.
In my case, some high-ASCII (above 128) characters convert to HTML just fine, while others do not.
E.g., en and em dashes in my cut-and-paste text show as such in DESIGN mode, and the right entries
    –
    —
turn up in the source code. Same is true for the ampersand
    &
and the copyright symbol
    ©
and for such foreign letters as the e with acute accent (ALT+0233)
    é
What does NOT display or code correctly are the typographic quotes. E.g., when I paste in (or special paste; it doesn't seem to make any difference which I use for this) text with typographic double quotes (ALT+0147 for open quote mark and ALT+0148 for close quote mark), which should appear in source code as
    “[...]”
DW strips out the ASCII encoding, displaying the inch marks in DESIGN mode, and putting this
    "[...]"
in my source code.
The typographic apostrophe (ALT+0146) is treated differently still. The text I copy & paste into DW should appear as
    [...]’[...]
in the source code, but instead I get the foot mark (both in DESIGN and CODE views):
I've tried adjusting the various DW settings for "encoding"
    MODIFY > PAGE PROPERTIES > TITLE/ENCODING > Encoding:
and for fonts
    EDIT > PREFERENCES > FONTS
but switching from "Unicode (UTF-8)" to "Western European" hasn't solved the problem (probably because in my case many of the higher ASCII characters convert just fine). So I don't think it's the encoding scheme I use that's the problem.
Whatever the problem is, it's caused me enough headaches and time lost troubleshooting that I'm planning to revert to CS4 as soon as I post this.

How Can I Delete my DIscussion Forum Account?

I would like to delete my discussion forum account. I cannot seem to find a method to do this.
Is there a way? Thanks.

Not as far as I know. Just don't use it.

Slow to a crawl in the Discussions Forum

Today has been maddeningly slow . It was taking a few minutes to just open a subject , a couple times I timed out and/or the site appeared to actually go down . I am finding it strange that I don't see much mention of this . At first I thought it was my eMac but the Powerbook was also slow and when I tried the PC , it to was slow . This is just in the Apple Discussions Forum everything else is fine so it's not AT&T
A search for "slow" showed up some problems in Nov. that were blamed on "code tweaking" so I assume this may be the same problem . Is there someplace that tells about current issues or problems ? Ebay mentions in advance when they will be doing maintenance .

Hi Kady
Thank you for the info . I thought it was my computer because I was having other troubles .
Was it memory leaks ? It would be nice if something could be posted when things slow down. Hear is some info I found ;
Well, I’m sure you guys and gals know this already, but spend half an hour on the Apple discussion boards at http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?[email protected]@ , preferably accessing things like “my posts” or other search related activity and you will very soon find some nasty memory leaks.
Most people find that the ‘Real RAM” consumption of Safari goes up from a a few megabytes to over 200MB within 20 minutes or so., at which time very nasty slowdowns occur (40 secs to a minute to open a link on the pages, despite my 1500 ADSL link and an iMac G5 2 GHz with 2 gig of RAM. The problem causes these slowdowns even when I have more than a Gig of RAM completely free.)
A number of Apple Discussion Board Level 4’s have been discussing this problem and reporting exactly the same experience. We have been wondering whether to blame you, Apple , Javascript, or Web Crossing. Many people who use this board regularly are simply shifting to other browsers to avoid the problem.
The leak can be overcome to a large extent by disabling javascript, but this is a very annoying way to have to deal with the issue. Spend half an hour on these boards and I’m sure you will soon get some relevant information!
Cheers
Rod

Login issue in Apple Discussion Forum - Safari Only

I can no longer log into my Discussions Forum account using Safari (3.1.2). When I log in I am taken to the Create New User page, where I get stuck in a loop. I can log into my account just fine using Firefox 3, which is what I'm using to write this.
Please do not offer generic suggestions if you are not familiar with this specific issue. I don't want to hear advice about clearing my cache and cookies, etc. This issue has been reported several times in these forums and nobody has offered a viable solution.

Hi Walter
Forum software is not very multi-user friendly, nor (for sanity sake) encouraged. As you've discovered, switching from one user account to another requires deleting forum related cookies before logging in.
Curious why you have more than one user account?

Special Character in Subject Field of Discussion Forum

I am creating a new discussion, in the subject when i enter "Portal Discussion?" then it gives error that special character is not allowed. But i want to use the "?" in the subject at the time of creation.
After creating the discussion i can edit the same thing with special characters, then why SharePoint is not allowing to enter special character at the time of creation.

Hi
Refer this link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/6e7a7eae-26fc-467f-bfdc-7c5d5ff49a95/discussion-forum-storing-special-character-in-title-differently?forum=sharepointdevelopmentlegacy
It seems that SharePoint will allow the Title of the discussion board to remain with the special characters, but the actual URL will not be allowed and will strip them from the final URL. SharePoint Manager easily shows this, btw.
So, there are probably many different ways to get what you are looking for, but one way could be to have a Linq query look for all Discussion Boards on a given site and then return the Title and the DefaultViewUrl, which the latter could then be prefixed by
the SPWeb.Url to give you something like "Testing? , /" for the title and http://mysite/Lists/Testing/AllItems.aspx (assuming
that is the actual default view) which you could then use as the final URL for your hyperlink in your web part.
In the code snippet below you can see the Linq query (which I assumed from your post that you need to query to find the Discussion Boards) and a simple DataTable that you could then use to populate a repeater or you just omit the DataTable and
enumerate the results from the query yourself:
var linqResults
= from list in oSPWeb.Lists.Cast<SPList>() where list.BaseTemplate
== SPListTemplateType.DiscussionBoardselect list;
DataTable oDataTable
= new DataTable();
DataColumn oDataColumn_Title
= new DataColumn("Title", typeof(string));
oDataTable.Columns.Add(oDataColumn_Title);
DataColumn oDataColumn_URL
= new DataColumn("URL", typeof(string));
oDataTable.Columns.Add(oDataColumn_URL);
foreach (SPList oSPList in linqResults)
DataRow oDataRow
= oDataTable.NewRow();
oDataRow[
"Title"]
= oSPList.Title.ToString();
oDataRow[
"URL"]
= oSPWeb.Url + oSPList.DefaultViewUrl.ToString();
oDataTable.Rows.Add(oDataRow);
oDataTable.AcceptChanges();

Error JBO-26080 with Discussion Forum portlet

Hi,
I'm getting an error with the discussion forum portlet.
This is one way I found to reproduce this problem:
- reply to a post in a forum
- do a search that should include the post added before in the result
- you should get this error
Unable to perform the operation: JBO-26080: Error while selecting entity for ThreadSearchEntityObject
Is this a known problem? Does anybody knows a fix/workaround?
Thanks in advance
Bye
Lorenzo

Hi Pedro,
I found the portlet on this page
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/point_downloads.html
the one called "OracleAS Discussion Forum Portlet".
On this same page this forum is suggested to report problems.
I think this problem is due to some BC4J error, maybe a quick fix/workaround is possible, but I do not know this technology.
In the next day I'll try anyway to check the source, but I was also interested to know if somebody else has the same problem so to exclude the option of some installation/configuration problem of my deploy.
Thanks again
Bye
Lorenzo
