IPhone friendly version of these discussion forums?

Hello Apple,
As for as I can tell, there is no iPhone or mobile phone friendly version of these Apple Discussions web site. Yes, the iPhone allows for an almost (minus Flash) full web experience unlike most other mobile phones. However, it sure would be nice if there was a mobile friendly version of this site. It would make it much easier to view the posts.
Is there already a mobile version of this site? If so, please let me know.
Thanks!
Steven

I don't believe that Jive Software, maker of the software that runs these forums, has any support for mobile devices as of yet. They alluded in their forums to some sort of future iPhone support back in August but I can't find anything further on the situation. Unless and until Jive comes out with support for mobile devices like the iPhone, there's nothing Apple can do.
Regards.

Apple webapps page - iPhone friendly version?

Apple has an overview page of available webapps under http://www.apple.com/webapps - but ironically, the page itself is just a plain web page. Is there an iPhone friendly version? (Or is there any iPhone friendly Apple page??)

Discussion Forum Portlet Question

Hi,
I downloaded and implemented jcriggs' version of the Discussion Forum Portlet and it works quite fine with one exception, the search. Does anyone know if the search function of that is supposed to be a full text search? It seems to only search on topic name and the first word in the message posted. Also does anyone know of a way to delete messages other than going into the database and deleting the actual record? I ran a bunch of test messages and want to remove them before I go live with it and give people access. I am assuming that going into the DB is the only way, but I am not sure.
Thanks,
Joe

The DBA upgraded the portlet and now it looks like we have a db connection problem. Getting error
Unable to perform the operation: JBO-30003: The application pool (config.AppModuleLocal) failed to checkout an application module due to the following exception:

Apple Discussion Forums: an important tech support resource

There have been ongoing discussions within Apple regarding whether or not to continue supporting these discussion forums, specifically, the issue of continuing to employ live humans to monitor and moderate them. It seems to me that it would not be a significant drain on Apple Computer Inc.'s resources to employ 1-2 persons to comb this (very large) discussions site for significant unresolved issues having broad relevance to the Mac user community. Said issues could then be routed either to a small, forums-dedicated team of Apple engineers, or distributed to the larger second-tier support group such that each tech rep would only have to handle a few responses per week (or month, depending on the size of the available employee pool). The net benefits to Apple -- in terms of reduced number of tech support calls, a more-empowered, self-sufficient, and satisfied user base, and increased goodwill toward the company -- would, in my estimation, more than repay the salaries and efforts required to keep these discussion forums running efficiently and effectively. I believe Apple is savvy enough and responsible enough to know this; they have probably done the calculus. Perhaps, then, our most important task is to let the parent firm know that we use and value this resource. Hopefully, Apple managers will note and make the right decisions.

Yes ... but why pay for it when they have a very good base of people that respond to postings? ... actually let me ask a better question.... if you were apple why would you bother to tell everyone the screen name of the moderator ... don't you think they'd get absolutely bombarded with email?
Maybe I'm a moderator ...

Mobile Friendly Version of the Forum?

Neil has already mentioned the script that appears to be slowing things down on the BBA phones... perhaps we could actually have a mobile friendly version of the forum? I tried replying to a thread using my phone it was a complete nightmare and ultimately failed.

I'd think it's more to do with the OS and browser, rather than who provides the phone

I am running XP SP2 fully patched. I recently upgraded to 3.6.3 and since then, clicking on an icon that normally would open another windows (for example, a printer-friendly version of the current web page), nothing happens. In these situations, I have been forced to go to IE or Crome in order to accomplish what I need to do. Very frustrating. Also clicking in the slider area has no effect. "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys work. Holding down left mouse button on slider works. Also very frustrating. Can someone help

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Looking at the reviews for the current version of the app in the app store it looks like other people are also having problems with it - you could try contacting the developers of the app : http://www.whatsapp.com/contact/

How do I stop these OTN Discussion Forum messages!

The OTN forum administrator is sending me messages every few minutes on threads I don't care about or have anything to do with. OTN Discussion Forum "Application Express" has been updated. Is anyone else getting these or is it just my account? Not sure who to contact or how ...
thanks

Hi,
Ok, sorry.
I hope this might help you

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?

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!

How to integrate Blogs & Discussion Forums for Webcenter Suite 10gR3?

Hi,
One of our clients has just gone live with a Webcenter 10gR3 Portal implementation (using WC Framework). They're now interested in integrating blogs and discussion forums with their Portal.
My understanding is that blogging, discussion forum etc is not supported in Webcenter 10gR3. Correct me if wrong?
Can someone share any solutions which have been implemented around the same. Eg: I read about using blogs, wiki etc from Webcenter 11g Stack and exposing them web services.
Basically what are the possible options we can explore into?
Thanks,
Preethi

Thanks Venkat. Actually we're not considering migrating to 11g I was only looking for possible options and this was one of them that I read the forum.
Thought to adding some more information about this portal: It is developed in WLP so they're on Weblogic Server.
Jon Huang, Director Product Management for Webcenter Suite and Portal tells me
"The WebCenter 10.1.3.4 Additional Services releases contains wiki/blog/discussions and is certified with WebCenter 10gR3 version:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/owcs_10134_addtlservices.html
*You'll need to use WLS for these additional services.*"
That answers my question, but would appreciate if others can share any more info on similar implementations, if done.

What happened to the search in the discussion forum?

It seems we have lost the ability to "search" in the forum. Is it just my Mac or can we not search anymore?

Greetings,
With the popularity of the iPhone and it's related discussion areas, we have experienced heavy usage and reduced availability of Apple Discussions today. In order to improve site performance, we have temporarily disabled the following site features:
* Search
* Read tracking (the "blue dots")
* Subscription emails
We are working to restore these features as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience during this unprecedented and exciting period in Apple's history.
Regards,
Apple Discussions staff
