Please improve UI for marking questions as 'Correct'

Hello,
I recently have started contributing to the JavaFX 2 forum. I am very keen on this technology so I am eager to help people out so it goes well. I started getting points for my answers and now I am slightly addicted to my score raising. Obviously the point system is working exactly as intended, keeping me answering questions!
I have found however that around half of my answers don't get scored. The OP will return to the thread, reply with 'Hey that worked! Thanks' mark the question as 'Closed' but not actually mark my answer as 'Correct'. I actually did the very same thing when I first posted questions on the forum.
Given the frequency I think it is fair to presume that the UI is not as intuitive as it could be. I would suggest an easy fix would be to add some nice, short prompting text in a clearly visible, colored panel when an OP is replying to their own thread. A bit more effort but great would be if when the OP closes the question another screen shows asking them to select the Correct answer.
I (and others on the forum) often will reply to the OP saying 'please mark as correct' but since the forum doesn't make the OP a watcher of the thread by default (a bit weird by the way, I'd prefer it to) an from the OPs perspective the topic is done, this rarely works. It also adds unnecessary noise to the forum.
Let's face it, these points will lead to power, money, fame and women. No one wants to miss out! ;)

If your purpose is to come here to boost your ego by gaining status on the forums then you're here for the wrong reasons. People come here to help others, have a go at the challenging issues and learn from those who give interesting or good answers so they can improve their own skills.
I have found however that around half of my answers don't get scored.That's life. Happens to all of us. Most aren't bothered.
The OP will return to the thread, reply with 'Hey that worked! Thanks' mark the question as 'Closed' but not actually mark my answer as 'Correct'. I actually did the very same thing when I first posted questions on the forum.

A bit more effort but great would be if when the OP closes the question another screen shows asking them to select the Correct answer. You may think it's an easy fix, but the version of Jive software the forum is based upon is not supported anymore and the ability for the Oracle team to develop it and tailor it is very limited.
I (and others on the forum) often will reply to the OP saying 'please mark as correct'Do that in the SQL and PL/SQL forum and you will be warned not to do it again.
See point 7 of the SQL and PL/SQL FAQ post: {message:id=9698382}
but since the forum doesn't make the OP a watcher of the thread by default (a bit weird by the way, I'd prefer it to)It does. Sometimes it's glitchy and doesn't work though.

If an OP marks your post as correct or helpful, great, but if they don't just carry on, it's no big deal. All the guru's and experts on these forums got their points without asking for any of them. They didn't need to as they provided professional and helpful answers.

If you're going to read a date, what's wrong with getDate()? I don't see the point of the StringTokenizer at all. That's got to be wasting time.
But your run time could easilly be dominated by the database retrieval, so I'd focus on that.
Experiment with Statement.setFetchSize(). Try a few hundred, for a start. More than that is unlikely to make a significant difference and that might even be two high.
What database are you using? With some of them there are alternative connection strategies, for example using a unix socket rather than an TCP/IP socket.

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.
1.)If i am using the continuous output mode.and the size of generated data is less than 32 MB.If i want to preload the memory,what should i do?I want that first of all i load all my data to onboard memory & then i want to make start the transfer between 6534 & peripheral.Is it possible?As per me it should be.Plz tell me how should i do this?I think that in normal procedure the transfer between 6534-peripheral & outputting data from pc buffer to onboard memory works parallely.But i don't want this.Is it poss
ible?
(2).Similarly in finite input operation(pattern I/O) is it possible to preload the memory and then i read it?Because i think that the PC memory will be loaded automatically when 6534 acquires the data and then when we use DIO read vi the pc buffer data will be transferred to application buffer.If this is true,i do not want this.Is it possible?
(3) One more question is there if i am using normal operation onboard memory will be used bydefault right?Now if i want to use DMA and if i have data of 512 bytes to acquire.How will it work and how should i do it?Please tell me the sequence of operations.As per my knowledge in normal DMA operation we have 32 Bytes FIFO is there so after acquisition of 32 bytes only i can read it.How it will known to me that 32 bytes acquisition is complete?Next,If i want to acquire each byte separately using DMA interrupts what should i do?Provide me the name of sourse from which i can get details about onboard memory & DMA process of 6534 specifically
(4).In 6534 pattern Input mode,if i want to but only 10 bits of data.and i don't want to waste any data line what should i do?

Hi Vishal,
I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
1) It is definitely possible to preload data to the 32MB memory (per group) and start the acquisition after you have preloaded the memory. There are example programs on ni.com/support under Example Code for pattern generation and the 6534 that demonstrate which functions to use for this. Also, if your PC memory buffer is less than 32MB, it will automatically be loaded to the card. If you are in continuous mode however, you can choose to loop using the on-board memory or you can constantly be reading the PC memory buffer as you update it with your application environment.
2) Yes, your data will automatically be loaded into the card's onboard memory. It will however be transferred as quickly as possible to the DMA FIFO on the card and then transferred to the PC memory buffer through DMA. It is not going to wait until the whole onboard memory is filled before it transfers. It will transfer throughout the acquisition process.
3) Vishal, searching the example programs will give you many of the details of programming this type of application. I don't know you application software so I can't give you the exact functions but it is easiest to look at the examples on the net (or the shipping examples with your software). Now if you are acquiring 512 bytes of data, you will start to fill your onboard memory and at the same time, data will be sent to the DMA FIFO. When the FIFO is ready to send data to the PC memory buffer, it will (the exact algorithm is dependent on many things regarding how large the DMA packet is etc.).
4) If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you waste the other 6 bits if you only need to acquire on 10 lines. The answer to this is Yes. Although you are only acquiring 10 bits, it is acquired as a complete word (16bits) and packed and sent using DMA. You application software (NI-DAQ driver) will filter out the last 6 bits of non-data.
Hope that answers your questions. Once again, the example code on the NI site is a great place to start this type of project. Have a good day.
Ron

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

My form has a list of yes or no questions. I want to use either cheboxes or radio buttons. Unfortunatly I can't make it work. When I check yes for one question, it marks all yes answers for all other questions. If I mark some radio buttons to answer, it unmarks later. Need immediate help!!!

Is it that you are using a PDF-based form? Did you copy and paste the Yes/No fields all the way down your form? If so, then all of the yes/no boxes are copies of each other and have the same name and properties in the PDF.
For example, if you had:
     Question 1 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 2 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 3 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 4 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
Then whatever answer you selected in Question 1 would populate down through the rest of the form.
Changing the Yes/No field properties in questions two through four would eliminate the problem.
I hope that helps,
Brian

Answers please for these questions

Hi,
The following are some questions which I have faced in an interview recently ... Can I get the answers for these ?
1) In which format oracle stores the data ?
2) How many cursors can I open ? If I want to limit the number of cursors what changes should I do ?
3) Write a query using emp table, which shows only rows between 4 to 6 (only 4th, 5th and 6th record should be displayed) ?
4) Write a query using emp table, which displays even records and odd records ?
5) I have declared 3 procedures in a package declaration, if I declare only 2 procedures in package body, does it show any error ?
6) If I declare a variable in package specification say x number and if I declare same variable within package body with some value, first of all, does oracle allow me to do that ? If yes, if I want to refer the value of that variable (declared in specification) how can I refer ?
7) If i update sal of an employee from 1000 to 2000 (emp table), then I give select statement, after that I give alter command (to change length of ename), then give select statement again, then give rollback, then give select again .... what's value of sal for that employee (answer is 2000, since alter command commits all the changes to the database) .. Now my question is, if there are multiple instances running (with same username and password), can all the users see the change in the salary when the 1st user gives the alter command ?
8) Write a query to display duplicate records of the table (taking emp table as an example)
Regards

1) In which format oracle stores the data ?
     http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/intro.htm#sthref35
2) How many cursors can I open ? If I want to limit the number of cursors what changes should I do ?
     http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams138.htm#REFRN10137
3) Write a query using emp table, which shows only rows between 4 to 6
   (only 4th, 5th and 6th record should be displayed) ?
4) Write a query using emp table, which displays even records and odd records ?
     For both 3 and 4 the question you must ask is on what column the order is determined. I
     assume that the order is on empno.
     Answer for 3rd question.
     select *
       from (select row_number() over(order by empno) rno, e.*
              from emp e)
      where rno between 4 and 6;
     Answer for 4th question.
     This is a home work for you. Hint is use the above query and modify a bit you get the answer.
5) I have declared 3 procedures in a package declaration, if I declare only 2 procedures
   in package body, does it show any error ?
     You can try this by yourself. Just create it and see.
6) If I declare a variable in package specification say x number and if I declare same
   variable within package body with some value, first of all, does oracle allow me to do that ?
   If yes, if I want to refer the value of that variable (declared in specification) how can I refer ?
        You can try this by yourself. Just create it and see.
7) If i update sal of an employee from 1000 to 2000 (emp table), then I give select statement,
   after that I give alter command (to change length of ename), then give select statement again,
   then give rollback, then give select again .... what's value of sal for that employee
   (answer is 2000, since alter command commits all the changes to the database) .. Now my question is,
   if there are multiple instances running (with same username and password), can all the users see the change
   in the salary when the 1st user gives the alter command ?
        The answer would be YES. That is the purpose of COMMIT. Once data is commited
        then its visible to other sessions. And this one can also be tried by yourself.
8) Write a query to display duplicate records of the table (taking emp table as an example)
     I will leave this one as home work for you. Hint is you can use eith GROUP BY or
     check out analytic function COUNT()...

Please HELP! Music Player Question!

I have a music player that I am working on. Here is a link to
the site
Omyda Player. If you
click the little blinking arrow it reveals a control panel. Then
when you press track selector a window within the flash movie, you
can then chose a track and it will play. Do to the players slim
size the fonts have to be made small, so small its hard to read
unless you have good eyes. What I wanted to do is make it so that
if you hit track selector it pops up a html pop up window. You can
then choose your track and it sends the request to the flash
player. I was thinking of going about it this way!
I have to use java to send a command to the flash player....
here is the code.
The code above actually sends commands to what ever flash
movie you designate, problem is it is only made to send go to frame
commands.
Part 2 is the java button.
Now how do I name the home.html page? I know how to do a
window with in a window, but not a pop up to a page. Say for
example the popup is popup.html, how do I name the home.html. Do I
simply put home.html in target? Part 3 is an example, Is this
correct? If not how do I do it?
Now here comes an issue with the flash. The java code above
goes to a frame within the movie. So now I have to make a script on
frame 3 of the movie that tells it to make a button press, but I do
not know how to do it. Originally the movie worked by pressing a
button that was marked as a button set as a target called
Selection1 and so on. How would I make a script on frame 3 that
would press the button on its own? Kinda like a simulated user
press. Or is there a way to edit the Java code to act as a button
press? Please HELP! Part 4 is the coding used in the player!

Its called telling you the forum rules.
Now for your question, when you say the phone tells the caller that you are engaged, is it the "busy" tone or it diverts the caller to your voice mail box?

Bad Stats on threads for unanswered questions

There seems to be a bug in the thread view for unanswered questions that says
This question is not answered. Helpful answers available: 5. Correct answers available: 1.
for any unanswered questions. The 5 and 1 numbers are fixed text and never change, like they are placeholders for some calculation that was going to be implemented to count posts flagged as helpful / correct that was never implemented.
Also, it would be nice when replying to a post if the new page displayed contained the original post being replied to at the top for reference and copy/paste whlie composing the replies. This is pretty standard functionality on public message boards.

It's amazing how many newbies to the forum come on and complain about the way it works before even getting any proper knowledge of it. Did you really think that something as basic as those things would not have been considered before?
