I'm goint to miss this forum so much as it is!

I'm not trying to change it anymore because I don't think I can stop the river. But I am going to miss this clean, simple forum. I think it is one of the best there is.
I don't participate nearly as much as some of you do but I'm usually around reading and enjoying. Some of you are quite entertaining.
I just hope it doesn't get too pathetic. It would be sad if this becomes not fun or informative anymore.
Maybe we could start a new one. But then who wants to run it? Guess all we can do is wait and see.

Why do I think that?
Because the new format is too slow and uneconomical to encourage anyone to want to linger very long; or to return very frequently.
Large gaps between items (both listings & messages) mean that you can no longer get around quickly; only half the number of items are now visible per screenful and any thread that gets pushed to the second page will get no further responses.
No thought has been given to the requirements that have been stated so very clearly by the most regular Users; and the development team have taken the lazy and easy way out by adopting the standard Jive format.
The considerable concern that has been shown about e-mail access in the last few days means that people are intending to use that method
to access the Forums which obviously indicates that they find the new format to be unusable by Browser.
That alone will kill the Forums as happened with the Macromedia Forums which were so ghastly that everyone resorted to News Readers.
The Adobe Forums have been a wonderful resource until today;
but is now being willfully destroyed.

Why does this forum perform much slower than form forum in metalink?

I feel strongly that this forum performs much slower than the form forum in metalink where there are even more active and more issues created there.
I don't know why Oracle creates two form forum, which one is faster and another one is slower.
What is the difference b/w them besides here is jsp pages and over there is plsql pages?

Oracle certainly allows you to have users that do not have roles. Or users that don't have any system privileges. Or users that don't have any object privileges.
If you want the query to return a row for every row in DBA_USERS, you would need to outer join all the other tables to DBA_USERS.

Please post content that you are missing in SDN here in this forum

Hi SDN Members,
Here is an example of things that could be posted in this forum:
Iwan Santoso wrote in the BSP Forum:
:) TechEd 2004 (Munich)
...the following is the list of topic that I might be interested in. Is there a possibility to put the documentation as a weblog? or somewhere in SDN where we can download the documentation?
(1) Writing Complex/Composite Tags
(2) Session Management + I hope this includes Custom Login page
(3) Troubleshooting and the things we do
(4) BSP Bees and what they are good for
(5) How to prepare/use Themes (need serious help from colleague!)
Here in this forum Iwan should create one post per topic.
Here is Brian's answer:
(1) here one weblog has been published, one more nearly complete
(2) in planning. However, most difficult topic to explain on paper. Failed until now.
(3) have a number of them already. New one in planning.
(4) completely done
(5) hot topic, must be scheduled sometime. (This one actually most bang for the buck.)
I think that 2+5 are really the big holes that still exist in weblogs. Once they are done, a good basis is there.
Therefore Ivan should post in may be a bit more detail what exactly you are looking for in point 2 and 5 and with Brian I see some double points coming in his direction, if no one beats him to the punch.
Best, Mark.

I don't think it is the firewall. I am going to paste in a copy of my wireshark log which proves that there is two way communication with the blackberry.net domain (kinda hard to see).

"You do not have permission to post in this forum"

I have another account that cannot do anything much at all, and I would like to get it fixed without a five day wait for a Genius Bar appointment, then a 1 hour bus trip each way with an "I can't help with that" in the middle.
The account has been broken for over a year. This is what happens:
I can submit a question to the community.
I can open any postings that show as matches.
If there are no matches and I get thrown to the list of communities, then I can't view or post to any of them. I see the product names and icons (iPad, for example, but the list of related communities on the right is missing for all products. Which seems unfair because I own most of them.
You do not have permission to post to this forum
It appears you are not allowed to view what you requested. You might contact your administrator yadda yadda.
I have posted about this before:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17393255#17393255
with no real answer (a threat of possible help, if you like, but with no resultant benefit.)
My question is - how does one get help with the help forums? I have phoned Apple's help desk and they said they could not do anything.
I would really like to get my primary account working - it connects to the right email address, it all set up and comfortable - and it does not use my name and location as an alias (who's idea was that? Fire that person!)
If you know of any court of appeal, help desk support forum support line, 21-step program or anything else that might help, please tell me. This has gone on long enough.
I tried to do something about this from the other account but to get support for the support communities you have to be able to post to them.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22"
"It's the best there is."
Thanks in advance for your help.

Seventy-one - To my knowledge, I have been a model citizen. And not impertinent of you at all - a very reasonable question. All words have been 1-3 or 5+ letters long, I certainly have not received any communication (that I have been able to find) that indicates a transgression. And there is another question - which castle, and are you saving for the deposit?
Bleach - other user name is "Ploughguy". But I was more after a means of contacting those with influence myself. Most fora like this have a contactable moderator or administrator. I am rather amazed that one needs the intercession of the saints. Such as St Roger...
Roger - This situation. The "can't look-can't post" situation. It has been (not) happening for some time.
I previously raised the issue here .
BTW, I created yet another ID because I was not careful enough when I set up the second ID and it defaulted to "NameFromSuburb". This is OK for johnfromnewyork but a huge privacy risk if you are ranulffromlittlestorpingintheswuff - an unusual name in a small place. I do not know how that default got through the peer review. Basically it says "ranulf has the good taste to own an Apple something which is portable and fenceable, and he lives not far from here". I have suggested to the privacy people that it is a very bad idea. And yes, I realise my alias is already out there. I have asked the privacy people to blow it away.

[SOLVED] Is it possible to view this forum in non-"Classic" mode?

The reason I ask, is that I have a 24" screen & not the best eyesight, so I run 24 point fonts as default in Firefox.
I have learned to scroll across code boxes using the arrow keys, which I have to do very often, though this is not really a big problem.
If there was an option to put all poster details across the top of their posts, then we could have the full width of the page to read, as it is now, there is a LOT of empty space down the left hand side of the post content.
I had a look in my Profile page for this forum, but could not find a way to make this choice, as I can on some other forums. (Hopefully I missed something?)
I understand that perhaps this is beyond the capability of this forum software, which if so, is unfortunate.

Over at the ostalk.org forum, I put my questions, & tjwoosta posted some code to use with Stylish, it made the left column much narrower but at the expense of the details.
So I asked him if it was hard to place the details under the field headings (From: Registered: Posts:) & he gave me the following:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("bbs.archlinux.org") {
.postleft, .postfootleft {
width: 80px !important;
.postright, .postfootright {
border-left: 80px solid !important;
border-color: #f9f9f9 !important;
Which I've modified by changing the two 80px numbers to 200px, & it is starting to look like their may be a solution here not far off, using Stylish.
Users are just going to have to set the size of these two 80px numbers to suit their font size & screen resolution. It is so easy to do.
Also I've just learned that there may not be any need to incorporate TJ's code into Dark Grey, as you can run them both via Stylish simultaneously anyway.
Just have to get rid of these white rectangles that can turn up below the email line & above that of the Online/Offline?

A summary of this forum for perspective Nokia buye...

I have been on this forum for about 2 weeks (not long I admit) ever since the release of "free" navigation for (your) Nokia phone.
Since then I have observed the following:
Nokia blatantly refuse to acknowledge or comment on issues which make them look bad, to whit;
- Nokia maps not working with BlueTooth
- Nokia Maps failing to update on certain handsets
- A time/date bug causing phones to crash when using Nokia Maps
- Nokia voice files failing to install due to an LUA error
- Nokia's refusal to comment on whether certain phones will be supported
- Nokia's refusal to answer questions directly either on or off the record
- Numerous complaints by customers mislead by Nokia's blatant lie that Nokia Maps are now free for phone.
- Nokia's license servers failing to work when a license is purchased.
- Nokia's license servers rolling licenses forward to version 3, and then being unable to work with version 2 when any of the previously mentioned issues arise.
Nokia have further seen more than 40 users post to say they will never buy another Nokia (myself included) PURELY regarding the dishonesty they have shown with their handling of the maps situation. Nokia have still not commented, nor stated publicly their intentions with regards to these issues.
Nokia have, in short, angered their (once) loyal customer base and driven numerous people away for the opportunity to (falsly) advertise free navigation on their phones.
I feel the above is a fairly apt description of the occurences of this board over the last 2 weeks.
Does anyone else want to point out something I have missed/agree/disagree with me?
Please post your (reasoned and intelligently ONLY!) oppinions here, and lets see if we might be able to get through to Nokia.
Perspective buyers, watch this thread.
EDITED - I messed up the formatting rather badly.
If you read something you liked, or found this post useful, hit the green Kudos button on the left.

Err, if you post here, you really shouldnt expect Nokia to reply to you since this is aUSER-TO-USER FORUM. The Nokia hired moderators here arent even technicians who could answer some of the questions. They're just here to enforce forum rules. Some Nokia employees do come around from time to time, but that's so rare as to us not expect them here at any given time. If you want an official Nokia response to your queries, the only way would be to mail them through the contact us button at the top of the page.
As for shamelessly ignoring questions regarding n95 and n96, lets see. They announced that they were working on the maps to be compatible on other s60v3FP2 phones to be available this year, hopefully within the first half (n96 included). This has been already answered before. Then somebody comes in and posts the same question again. It is answered. A few days later someone else asks it again. Personally, some people here do get tired of answering the same question again and again sometimes at intervals of a few hours of each other. Most of the people here who answer your questions arent Nokia employees and are in no way obligated to answer your questions if they have already answered it like 5 or six times. I've seen here posts regarding the new answer key for the v40 5800 right next to each other asking the same thing, and one of the threads was answered.

Disappearing option of Search this forum

There used to be a Search this forum button in the Illustrator forum, but now it has disappeared altogether.
While it was still there, some of us had hopes of its beginning to work again, some day, maybe.
But now it is gone.
What about other forums?
Any hopes left?

Can't imagine any reason they would change
Great news.
Some of us "old timers" recall several times, when the older posts got dumped.
There was the aborted forum software issue - forget the dates, where much was lost. Some was saved to an archive, but the thread titles were all gone, so one only had page after page of "Post 15059686776," followed by "Post 15059686777," and so on. After a false start, the old forum was reinstated, but with the loss of the older posts.
Then, there was Jive.
Seems that I am missing a big dump of older posts, and someone will refresh my memory.
Anyway, a lot of us rely on those older posts, even when a product's version number has moved up a few notches.
Thanks,
Hunt

Does anyone from Adobe monitor this forum? Do they even care about this program?

I've clicked on many of the questions here as I try to learn how to use Story, but I have yet to see any responses from anyone at Adobe. It seems like they treat Story like an afterthought and don't care about its users. My frustration has grown more and more to the point now where I'm not going to use it any more, at least not until they add some basic functionality that is badly needed but missing. The tutorial section on Adobe TV, in one word, sucks. Badly. It's too bad, Story has some real potential, but Adobe has dropped the ball on it.

I monitor this forum, as well as, Adobe Story quality engineers and other staff. I often see responses from the quality engineers. If you post specifics, we can try to help.

That's the best way to communicate with the team.

1000 Postings in this forum!

Hello everyone.
I just noticed that with this posting we reach the number of 1000 postings since this forum was opened on March, 26th. After a time of testing we anounced the forum in our old mailing list end of April and now it seems that we established a lively community here in the SDN.
Thanks to everyone participating in this forum! Setting up the SDN forum is one thing but for a good community it needs all of us taking part. Asking questions, answering questions or discussing news about SAP on system i.
And if you have any questions regarding this forum feel free to ask...
Once again a big thank you to all of you taking part in this forum,
Jan

re: "ask how in the world they wound up doing that"
Hear! Hear!
Tom,
I often asked myself the same, even at the old forums Discussions Feedback, as it is not evident with the way the Discussions designers have laid out the site that any question would be posted here "except" for the appropriate questions!
Allowing for a user to be (and obviously they most likely are) new to the Discussions....it is still quite hard to understand how a user winds up here and then posts a question that should be posted in another forum logically.
I, and I'm sure yourself, would love to know out of curiosity more than anything as it really makes no sense what possibly a user's path would be to bring them here for posting hardware/software questions. At first I thought there might be a hint that a user may come here looking for how to use the forum and then continue to post here as well....but the Bold Red banner at top really is hard to miss....wouldn't you say....lol ))))
My post here is not to ridicule the users who post here as I'm sure they would post in the appropriate forum if they knew better but it just seems so strange.
Best,
littleshoulders [:-)

Why do I have to keep re-asking my questions - third time for this forum?

I have several questions:
1) This is the third time I have asked questions on this forum and I seem to be in a loop - like Groundhog Day;
2) All of a sudden, upon loading Photoshop, my adjustment layers do not work. When I click on one, it just puts a blank layer above my main picture layer;
3) My plug-ins are missing (Topaz, Nik)?

1 - moved from the general forum to the correct Photoshop forum... these are user to user forums, you won't get an answer if you ask in the wrong place, or if nobody knows the answer
2 - These questions below may be for a different product... but the KIND of information you need to supply is the same, for the products you use

Anyone from Blackberry Reading this Forum? If so....

Hi there, just became aware of this forum after it being mentioned over on Crackberry.com.
Anyways, if you work for Blackberry and are reading this forum and this thread, then PLEASE take stock of all that is said in this Z10 thread over on Crackberry.com here:
What Tweaks do you want to see in next BB10 software update?
And. Please. Make sure it is thoroughly shared and heard at Blackberry...
Many of us *really love* our Z10's, but can't help but feel that Blackberry/RIM *yet again* came out with an imperfect awesome device.
Is it impossible to have a nearly perfect smartphone because, although the Z10 is the best smartphone on the market according to me and others, it certainly has MUCH to be desired? Is it impossible to add (or *return*) to the Z10 most if not all of the MANY MANY MANY really great features we miss in the 7.0 system outlined in the above thread, because if it had most if not all of those features, you would be selling a lot more devices over the coming months to-be-sure?
If I were you and worked for Blackberry, I would see that Thorsten Heinz et al knew that, for the benefit of its many Z10 customers and the future of the company, Blackberry should come out with some kind of serious PR and SOON to assure us that 10.1 or other future updates will add many of the features that kept so many of us afloat in the hopes for so long that Blackberry would come out with the very best device, while we now sit here wondering why Blackberry left out SO MANY features we loved and frankly depended on with 7.0 etc, making our Z10 imperfect.
If you do not, or you tell us that we will not see many of those features, or leave us wondering much longer, then it is hard to imagine that we will stick with you forever and that Blackberry will be the flagship of smartphones it could be and succeed.
Thorsten et al, you do want to keep and grow your customer base, don't you? You do want to strike real concern and embarrassment in Apple and Android, don't you? You do want to not have future repeats of last week's sell-offs of the BBRY stock because of one tech firms' downgrade of the company's future over false rumors, but rumors still, of a high rate of returned devices, don't you? You do want to hear loudly from us that you have the most amazing phone on the planet ever, don't you?!
Then please hear and acknowledge our feedback, and execute much more of what we as Blackberry fanatics came to expect in great anticipation of what has turned out to be a three-quarter-baked awesome smartphone, the Z10, please.

OK, HTML got me again. Try this code:
case 62: // '>'
stringbuffer.append(">");
break;

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
