how do you mark answers as helpful or correct?

So only the original poster can mark as helpful or an answer? That doesn't seem right since they may never come back if they figure it out on their own (or get the answer via e-mail and don't bother to come back to the forum). The many others who benefit from a helpful or right answer should at least be able to "vote" on it.
Yes, a lot of the original posters do not come back; as far as I'm concerned, the points system should be abolished - period. Most of us help here because we want to and/or enjoy it. Additionally, by reading - and helping when I think I have a solution or idea that may benefit the poster - I keep learning myself. And, in a way, it's a way to pay back (or forward) for help I've received here. There aren't that many special priviledges for points. And, thank goodness, this is not a social networking site, popularity contest, high school (or kindergarten for that matter) or a blog, so there is no need for "votes". The day a "vote" or "like" becomes mandatory, I will stop contributing.

  • Can't mark answers as Helpful - Please assist

    Dear Mods/Admins,
    Firstly apologies for for creating a discussion for the issue where the solution is already given.
    I can't mark answers as HELPFUL to my discussion thread https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2559964.
    As I can't see the mark helpful option as there.
    Could you please mark it as a question? or let me know what needs to be done from my side. While creation I marked the thread as question and few of the answers were marked as helpful as well, but after editing I am not able to find this option.
    Thanks in advance for your support.
    Cheers!

    Hi Bhaskar,
    Thread  SOA/OSB - A few interview questions : Please help
    is already marked as question and I can see that already two replies are marked as helpful. There is a limitation in forums that at max two replies can be marked as Helpful per discussion.
    So, I think, you won't be able to mark third reply as Helpful.
    Though, you can mark it as correct, but that is up to you.
    Thanks,

  • How do you mark a message as spam when your mail comes from gmail via OS X Mail.app?

    How do you mark a message as spam when your mail comes from gmail via OS X Mail.app?
    I use IMAP to get Gmail. I seem to remember seeing a "[Gmail]/Spam" IMAP folder in previous versions of the app, but that's not visible any more.
    Without this, I have to log on to the web-based Gmail to mark messages as spam, that's a productivity killer.

    right mouse click on a message and select Mark as Junk Mail

  • How can I mark something as 'helpful'  or 'the correct answer' ?

    I have been posting a handful of questions within the DreamweaverCC forum.
    I notice that there indications that 5 people have marked the replies as 'helpful'.
    How can I mark some of the responses to my posts as helpful ?
    I am unable to do this.
    Under my 'Actions' button it says "no actions available".
    I also do not have the ability to edit my own posts.
    For instance, I have resolved one of the problems and I would like to clean up my own post eliminating the 'noise' and leaving the relevant.
    This is for the sake of others.  I have noticed that one of my posts has 200+ views.  I do not want to waste people's time.
    During the first week of may, the Adobe FORUMS had a message for a couple of days that they were doing a major overhaul of the Forum.
    Since then I am unable to sign in to the forums (or to Adobe.com) from my ipad.
    I upgraded my IOS, and cleared cookies and history.
    note.  Today I was doing a general search on my ipad (w/o) logging in.
    I wanted to see what was out there about header.php.
    I came across my own post (which requires cleanup).
    I came across another person's.  It made me laugh.
    The individuals who were helping him asked him to post his code
    which ultimately ended up in the longest scroll in the world  (hundreds of div ids).
    The responders said 'nightmare'.
    It made me laugh because I am certain that part of my posts elicit the same response (nightmare)
    I would like to clean them up.

    Thanks Hans-Günter.
    Yes, I have noticed that elsewhere. I just do not have those options.
    Okay.  After I clicked my own response to you - then the greenStar 'correct answer showed up.
    So I clicked the 'greenstar' on your response.
    Guess what ?
    Earlier, I emailed Preran because there weren't any options under my 'Actions' button for instance 'edit or 'delete'.
    They are now there !!

    What is the best way to navigate to my own posts so that I can follow them ?
    The only way I can do this is by clicking on my inbox & activity under my profile icon.
    There is a list of the latest responses and emails but it is not really a list of my own posts.

  • How do you 'mark all' mail messages and then delete in Iphone 5?

    I cannot do a mass delete of my emails any more in iphone 5 - how do you get the edit functions back onto the screen once you have 'marked all' the messages?

    As Chgrist1 said, that is how it works. Having looked as how Outlook stores mail, and everything else. It is a wonder anything ever comes out that is useable. PST files are a mess. First thing they do is pull the email apart and store header, body and attachments is three different places.
    You will also find (most likely) that your accounts in Outlook were POP and the default in Thunderbird is IMAP. merging IMAP and POP files and folders is fraught with difficulties and dangers. It would be a brave developer that tried that in an import.
    In the case of IMAP all your mail is one the server, so import is not all that important. However copying a gigabyte or two of of outlook mail into your imap server could exhaust your available message storage space there and cause the import to fail completely.
    So If you want to do what your saying, first confirm that your not using IMAP mail. Otherwise your experience is most likely going to be exceedingly poor.
    If you are using POP mail, then changing the setting in your pop account to cause it to use the global inbox will make a single mail account appear, "Local Folder", with your outlook mail as a sub folder of that.
    Dragging a folder from the imported outlook tree to Local folders is not difficult, as long as you remember that folders hang of other folders, so your dragging them to a parent, not a position on the screen you like.

  • How do you mark your 'in' point with the keyboard?

    I know you can mark the first frame of your selection by hitting the mouse button but I find I press the spacebar to start previewing the source footage and stop the playhead at just the right point where my 'in' should be. Now as soon as I move the mouse the playhead jumps to a different part of the clip, this results in me losing my 'in' point.
    What I want to do is hit the spacebar to stop at just the right point, hit a key to mark my selection, hit spacebar to resume playing and then finally hit shift-A to mark my out. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Could you describe your workflow in producing Quicknotes. 
    Basically I use a screen/system audio capture application to capture what I am doing in an application along with any audio being produced. There are many such applications available, but I tend to stick with Snapz Pro X which I have been using for years. My somewhat old PPC G5 limits me to captures of about 960x540 at 24 fps. This step, of course takes place in "real time." With iMovie '08, I would had to transcode the captured data to compatible compression formats, but with iMovie '09 it looks like I can go back to using the default Animation video codec which I prefer.
    Once the screen captured data is stored to a file, I bring it into iMovie for a quick edit -- usually just a quick trimming of the length, adding a title, and adding simple opening/closing cross-fades. When done, I output the edited content via the "Export Using QuickTime" option -- normally as AIC/AIFF but will likely try Animation/AIFF on my next one. The editing process takes only a few minutes but exporting adds additional time.
    At this point I import the edited file to GarageBand for a quick voiceover. I use this approach so I can keep a copy of the iMovie exported file for reuse at some later time. (My original intention was to eventually go back and correct my voiceover mistakes but I never seem to get around to doing this as some new project is always coming up.) For this step I generally use a Blu "Snowball" USB mic. In any case, the voiceover is also in real time. I normally export the finished file using the "Full Quality" mode so as to avoid a further transcoding of the video track. (It also saves time if no video re-compression has to be performed.)
    At this point it is merely a matter of targeting my final output. For my web content, I usually use MPEG Streamclip to convert the GarageBand file to an H.264/AAC file with a targeted video data rate of 1.0 Mbps. If I decide to post the file in an MOV file container, I then open the file in QT Pro and set the "poster frame" for iWeb use. If for any reason I wish to preserve the MP4 container, I use iTunes to "poster frame" the file.
    As previously implied, I use iWeb to actually post the file. In this case, the tutorials are posted to a separate "Podcast" page collection since the are easy to maintain; allow user comments, RSS notifications (which I've never tested), and searches (also untested). Primarily I liked the ease with which I can duplicate a previously posted video entry and simply drop in the new clip and modify the text changes. Posting the update is, of course, as simple as pressing an icon button and waiting got the upload to finish.
    I have completed the work flow in as little as an hour but my average is closer to 90-120 minutes since my wife and/or pets usually want some sort of attention during the process. You may have noted Gracie (a Congo African Grey) or Mango (an Amazon Orange Wing) in the background of some of my voiceovers. And that, as they say, is all there is...
    You should really consider posting these on YouTube.
    Not really something I ever wanted to do. I have my own MobileMe account, most viewers I'd want to reach are Mac owners and users, so I am not really interested in reaching out to the "world at large."

  • How do you mark a section from the timeline to send to Compressor 4 using Final Cut Pro X?

    I am trying to send just a certain piece from the Timeline to Compressor 4 using Final Cut Pro X and I can't figure it out. Please help!

    24 hours?
    If you select the timeline and press Shift+Z do you see a lot of black space in the timeline? If so, you may have a huge gap clip (although I fail to understand how you achieved it). Click on it and if it can be selected, delete it with the Backspace Key (next to the = key).
    Then press Shift+Z again.
    If I've got this wrong, can you post a screen grab of your timeline?

  • HT201318 How do you verify Payment Info is correct for iCloud storage?

    I set up Family Sharing shortly after the iOS 8.0 upgrade came out that allowed this feature.  During the set-up, I chose my MasterCard to be the account to pay for apps purchases, iTunes purchases, etc. etc.  However, some of my current subscriptions (Pandora One, my iCloud storage) and recent app purchases were charged to an old VISA card that I used before I set up Family Sharing.  No biggie, until that VISA card was fraudulently used two weeks ago for a purchase attempt at a grocery store in another state.  I cancelled that compromised VISA card and had my bank issue me a new one.
    Three days ago, my wife's ability to upgrade apps and make purchases was declined because she had a past-due payment for her Pandora One subscription.  That's because iTunes tried to pay the auto-renewal fee using the cancelled VISA.  I spent over an hour chatting with an iTunes service agent to have Apple change the account from the cancelled VISA to the MasterCard to pay for her Pandora One renewal.  For some reason, he could not do it.  He said I had to buy my wife an iTunes Gift Card, have her redeem it using her AppleID, and that plus-up would pay for her renewal fee.  That took care of her problem this month, but what about next month?  Will I go through the same headache?
    The same may occur when our iCloud storage payments are due in January.  Payments for December's iCloud storage bill was made using my VISA card before I cancelled it.  I checked "Payment Information" under Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > View Apple ID, and it shows my MasterCard.  How do I verify that come January, my iCloud payments will be charged to the right card?  I cannot find anything under iCloud on my iPhone or iPad that says this will happen (nor that my next payment through iTunes for Pandora One will no longer use the cancelled VISA).  The iTunes service agent I chatted with last night was no help.
    Anybody have similar problems?

    Hi, Jim:
    That memory should work, but only 4 GB will be usable with a 32 bit operating system. You need a 64 bit operating system to take advantage of more than 4 GB of memory.
    When you get your notebook, call HP at this number below and see if they will send you a W7 Pro 64 bit Quick Restore disk set for your notebook and if you decide to install 8 GB of memory you can install the 64 bit operating system.  You will need the model number and serial number handy.
    1-800-334-5144
    You can pretty much use any PC3-1333 non ECC notebook memory.
    Any of this memory will work:

  • Sequence quiz--how to indicate which answer is the correct one

    Probably another glaringly obvious answer, but I can't find instructions anywhere online to follow.
    I've succeeded in making the questions and answers, but it is arbitrarily deciding on its own which are right and which are wrong. I've searched the panels, but am missing the obvious. Help?

    The order of the Question Answer captions as shown on the slide in Edit mode is the correct order as far as Captivate is concerned.  So write the text in these captions to show the order that should be marked as correct.

  • In 31.3, how do you mark a message as Not Junk

    T'bird help says there's a Not Junk button, but I can't find one. Thanks for your help

    There are two ways to mark as Not Junk:
    When viewing a message TB (or you) has marked as junk, there is a strip near the top of the message which says 'Thunderbird thinks this message is junk mail.' In that strip, there is a box on the right which says 'Not Junk'.
    The other way is in the list of mail in a folder, if you right click on the message, one of the options is 'Mark'; then hovering your mouse over that you can select 'As Not Junk'.
