Search before post

I have seen users posting new threads, which are discussed earlier and solutions is available in the forums. This just increases the volume of posts.
Can we have a functionality where, before posting a new thread, a search is performed in the forums and similar threads are displayed? If the user does not find a relevant match he/she processed and finally posts the thread?
I did search if similar thread exists before posting
Thanks,
Somar

Hi,
even if you did a search and didn't find a similar thread, this topic has already been discussed a few times. So may be others are facing the same problem. Searching... but not getting a helpful response and so post a new thread.
kind regards
Siggi

Is it me or do we see about the same questions being posted over and over and over. No wonder people thing Macbooks are problem plagued - Please search before posting. Just venting...

Oh 'gimme a break, will 'ya? Lots of people are new here it is not always possible to find answers to questions, or they just want a personalized response. I think everyone is guilty at some point of posting a question that could have been searched for first. Besides, how are people to build up points to get a higher point status if the same questions are not asked again and again and again......?? IF that were the case, there would be very little activity on these boards and it would be no fun!

Add reminder to search before posting

Add a statement on the front page that reminds people to search to see if their issue has already been reported.
Especially if comes to ading a new channel. If it helps cut the duplicate requests by even 10%, that would be great.
Either that, or have some place to easily look up and link to channel requests so people can add their votes.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

I agree with you one gazillion percent...... But you don't see this on the page after you log in?
I do see that announcement, not as good as it should be, but better than nothing (and apparently ignored by 99.9999% of the posters).
Not only the channel requests but topics like the Guide format, colors, etc, the possible loss of the Fox channels in certain markets, etc. New threads over and over and over......
I have suggested that the website be changed to require the entry of at least one keyword when creating a new thread, and that the system automatically search on the keyword(s) and provide a list of topics based on the keyword(s) before allowing the actual creation of the new thread. It would slow things down a little when creating a thread, but I really think something like that is needed to reduce the creation of so many threads on the same topic. Just look in the email area right now for example, it appears almost nobody bothers to even look at what is already there (even posted the same day) before they post their complaint about the new SSL option not working (which it does).

Search in SCN before posting

Hi All,
I am new to SCN and I can see lot of discussions about the same topic sometimes which leads to repetition.
Is there any way where we can search in the SCN forum before posting our questions.
I am asking about the option like as in SAP Service marketplace, where we can search for the existing notes before raising the OSS message to SAP.
If not, Is it possible to implement the same kind of option in SCN that would save lot of time for the members too.
Regards,
Thanga

Hi,
on Google, if you search with similar words you will get already discussed threads or available pdfs/docs/blogs.
on SCN, Go to your particular forum,Content,Enter similar words to search you may get recent threads.
I used SAP Netweaver BW forum, content - search word - 0recordmode.
Like that way you can search on SCN.
Thanks

teshlachris,
iTunes, like other applications, will sometimes have issues trying to install from a different admin user than the one used to first install it.
Did your son install iTunes with a different account? If so, your previous post did not include the fact your son had previously installed iTunes, or I would have suggested trying the install while logged in under his account.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Before Posting:
Is your sound card not working? Do you need advice on what to try to fix it? Then you are at the right place. Before posting your question, there are a few things you will want to check first.
Perhaps your question has already been asked and answered. Thousands of questions have been asked and are all stored here on the forums. Right above that orange navigation bar is the search bar, try searching for what you are experiencing. If there is a thread but it doesn't answer your question, check the date, if it is several weeks since the last reply it would be better to name a new thread then resurrect the dead thread.
Also before posting collect as much information about your card as possible. Get the model number off of the card/device itself and also the inkstamp number (found on an inkstamp or silkscreen on the non-chip side of the card) if you have a sound card. Please note that if you have a card that was preinstalled in your computer by the manufacturer or you bought the card in a brown box or static bag that it is most likely an OEM card. In cases like these it may be best to contact the retailer or the manufacturer (don't forget to check their forums if they have them) for support as the cards can be very different from the retail versions.
Lost CD, Need Drivers:
Standalone drivers are available for many of our sound cards and devices on our website. The best way to check is to go to Support/Downloads and select your product from the list and click next. Then you select your Operating System from the drop box (keep the other options on their defaults) and click go. The very first section should be the driver listings. Just because a driver says that it is an update, doesn't mean that it isn't a standalone driver. The best way to check is to click on the details button and read the requirements section. If it doesn't say that it requires previous drivers then it is most likely stand alone and is worth installing. These standalone drivers usually include a configuration utility called "CTpanel.exe" that a quick search of your drive after install will locate. You can use this to set the card up.
If your card does not list standalone drivers then you will want to contact support to obtain an install CD.
If your card is OEM, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your system or the retailer you purchased it from for the install CD. There can be major differences between retail and OEM models and the retailer or manufacturer are provided with drivers specific to the card they are distributing.
Standard Troubleshooting:
If you are going to ask a question, there are a few standard troubleshooting steps that are suggested for almost any problem. You should really check them out before posting a question as it can save you a lot of time waiting on replies.
First off, try a cleansweep and reinstall of your card. Often all that the card needs is a fresh start. The steps for this are found in these Knowledgebase articles:
Uninstalling Sound Blaster Drivers and Applications(Windows Vista)
Uninstalling Creative Disc Detector
Uninstalling Sound Blaster PCI Cards
Uninstalling PCMCIA Sound Blaster Devices in Windows XP
Uninstalling ExpressCard Sound Blaster Devices in Windows XP
If that doesn't work, not all is lost. There are many standard troubleshooting steps that are used for almost all problems. Fortunately we have a separate Kbase article that covers these steps. It even has suggestions for specific problems. Here is that link:
http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=2538
Popping Clicking, Hissing, and Other Sound anomalies:
Perhaps your question is about a popping, clicking, or hissing sound that your card seems to be generating. If so, then this article is for you. The sound optimization article:
http://support.creative.com/kb/showa...aspx?sid=46913
If Nothing Above Works:
One last thing to try would be to clean boot your version of Windows. Perhaps an application is getting in the way of the card working correctly. Try it and see if the card works when clean booting into Windows. If so then something that is starting up is interfering with the card.
Clean boot XP

Boston Acoustic Digital Speakers or Prebuilt System With a Digital Live! Card
Some name brand systems shipped with a special Live! Value card that was made to work with digital speakers. If you system shipped with a Live! Value and you have digital speakers you will need to use drivers provided by your system manufacturer. If you use the drivers on the Creative website your card will no longer work with your digital speakers.
If you have a set of Boston Acoustic digital speakers that came with your system and they are not working with your sound card, make sure you have it connected to the digital out on the card. Also make sure that the digital out is enabled.
If None of this helps:
If none of this helps, then it is probably time to go ahead and post your question. Make sure to let everyone know what you have already tried from this article, otherwise you may get responses suggesting you try them again.
Above all else, don't panic.

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - 'God [darn] it, you've got to be kind."

There's a small discussion on the Asus forums about this issue here:
http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20052602425373&board_id=&model=A8V&pa ge=&SLanguage=en-us
I'm extremely certain this has nothing to do with Creative. I recently tried a Turtle Beach Riviera 5. sound card in my Asus A8V board with the same poor result. Onboard sound works fine as long as you remove the PCI card. Oddly, the four sound cards I've tried (three by Creative) work fine on the same MB using Windows 98. Only Windows XP has this issue, but since it works fine if you restart/wake up from standby/or hit F0 after entering the BIOS, it's obviously directly related to the BIOS.
Since this problem has gone on for so long with no acknowledgment from Asus, I'm not very hopeful this will ever get fixed. I've considered trying an M-Audio Revolution 5. and see if that works, but I know it's a long shot. I'm also not sure if I want to risk close to $00 on a sound card that I figure has a 0% chance of working.
(If ANYONE out there in the world has a sound card that works with games on an Asus A8V - please, please, pretty please post in this forum so we can all go out and get it!)
It absolutely amazes me that a problem this significant slipped by Asus during their supposed "4,000 dedicated man hours" of testing!

BEFORE posting, please read this!!

Before posting in this forum, I urge you to read though GlennVidia's sticky post Suggestions on posting and getting better answers and also hpkuo's A collection of tips and tricks
also to new users, please create a signature in the User Control Panel listing your system specifications.
too many people are posting questions like "MSIPVS don't work, please help" but if you don't tell us what your system is, its like asking your GP to diagnose medical problems over the phone - ie, guesswork!! also it helps if you give us your location, ie Seattle, USA; Norwich, UK; Kabul, Afghanistan; for local TV issues.
any users with the MS8606 TV@nywhere Master should first try the Unofficial BETA drivers for this product listed in my sticky at the top of this forum, looking through the release notes for this, it fixes many problems that users have posted about.
plus make sure all your system and vga drivers are up-to-date, here are some links:
For Nvidia Nforce chipset and display drivers:
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
For ATI chipset and display drivers:
http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html
For Via chipset and display drivers:
http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2
For SiS chipset and display drivers:
http://download.sis.com/
For Intel chipset and display drivers:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/support_intel.asp?iid=HPAGE+header_support_download
Installation of MSIPVS:
Download and install the latest drivers for your MSI TV Tuner (either from MSI or the BETA drivers if you are using TV@nywhere Master). After installing the drivers, please RESTART your PC (the installer won't prompt you to do this) BEFORE you install the MSIPVS or MediaCentre III software.
MSIPVS (or other InterVideo software) won't work if Windows has been installed to a partition other than C:, Mega PC users should disable the card reader by either unplugging it from the motherboard, or temporarily disabling the USB controller in BIOS before installing Windows to ensure it sees drive C: as default installation drive.
This should avoid any "antenna & afghanistan" default configurations in MSIPVS, but please ensure your correct region and TV standard settings are selected, and the correct cable / antenna connection is selected.
Mega PC series
Users using a Mega series barebone PC with MediaCentre III (ugh) should also search through the Mega PC series forum for further assistance there.
Hope this helps

sorry, think i must have slipped on something

Rosetta is designed to translate currently shipping applications that run on a PowerPC with a G3 processor and that are built for Mac OS X.
Rosetta does not run the following:
Applications built for Mac OS 8 or 9
Code written specifically for AltiVec
Code that inserts preferences in the System Preferences pane
Applications that require a G4 or G5 processor
Applications that depend on one or more kernel extensions
Kernel extensions
Bundled Java applications or Java applications with JNI libraries that can’t be translated
Classic is just not supported.
It is clear that apps that need the G4, G5 or Altivec Code won't run under Rosetta.

Message before posting new thread

How about displaying a message before posting new threads in abap devlopment forums which tells the members to use search button before posting new threads.
I think this may improve the quality of forums to an extent.
Plz give ur comment on this.

I think most people who answer simple questions do so because they are genuinely trying to help and are perhaps not familiar with the type of user IDs who ask such questions.
But they should heed the warnings (in most cases they realize this themselves before a warning is required). I also know a numer of people who stop visiting SDN when they realize this, and that is a big pity.
Users who carry on and on and on without heeding the warnings are deleted as well. This has happened already and there are two more in the pipeline. But Guestification is a last resort and not a perfect one either. It is only really effective when points are the reason for the misuse.
I am sure that without a points system in its current form we would have less noise, but we would only eliminate the childish points gamers.
What I think we need to work on is further improving the reputation of the SDN forums for quality content.
Eg. when someone posts something which is incorrect or questionable, then question it (politely as possible / appropriate).
That way people who answer will realize that their accounts have a track record for questionable quality, and will think twice before posting some bla-bla-bla or not reading the question carefully => if the question is "What is reports and tables" then when thinking twice, they wont answer at all....
Cheers,
Julius
PS: I will start drafting a sticky thread for FAQs and memorable discussions, and then we can make a team effort of contributing to it and the mods can update it as appropriate.

Read this before posting about LR 4!!!

Folks, it would be really, really useful if you realize that there is a whole forum set up to discuss Lightroom 4 beta discussions.
The LR engineers are paying more attention there and beta testers are spending quality time there.
So, before posting anything about LR 4 Beta, move it over to the Lightroom 4 Beta Forum, please?

J.K. ROFLing,
What do you suggest littleshoulders?
I have made suggestions, whereas others have not but have also asked for changes here in regards to posting topic probems.
A suggestion I have made was to force the user whichever way they enter discussions to fill in a form that directs the user to the most appropriate forum. This doesn't need to be a long form but I'm sure you have seen this type of form on other sites that narrow a search down.
I'm certainly not an expert (I assume Apple has enough on staff to handle the logistics) and would only venture a guess as to what might be asked on the form to narrow the search.
Most importantly, I can't believe that the form would be any more labor intensive on the user than navigating through the Discussion pages to get to an appropriate forum. And quite frankly, even if it were it would certainly direct the user to an appropriate forum saving huge amounts of wasted time trying to get their support.
"Computer: iMac G3
OS version: OS X v10.3.9
What is you computer problem or support topic: Terminal problem"
I'm sure there would have to be other menu options (pop-ups and user filled info) for this type of search process but that is an abbreviated example for this excercise.
These directing forms are used all over the internet to direct the user to the appropriate product, support or otherwise.
I contend that the way that Discussions is presented currently that it needs this type of user interface to work properly.
In closure, I have to say that I don't believe in status quo and think that any change for the better is welcome and I bet all those novice users who struggle with posting topics correctly would agree. They obviously need more help than what is currently offered with posting.

Enhancement for MB01 - Need to check the document before post

Hi All,
I need to check a material document before posting in MB01 for a field "GR/GI Slip No" which we are using to enter "gate entry no".The issue now is as i'm using a table control screen to post GRs in bulk . i want to avoid duplicate GRs of a particular gate entry.during analysis i found that an exit/Badi at MB01 - end may serve my purpose well.
thanks and regards,
sachin soni

Hi,
You may try the EXIT:
MBCF0005 Material document item for goods receipt/issue slip
or BADIs:
MB_BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE
MB_BATCH_MASTER
MB_DOCUMENT_BADI

Renjith Michael.

Log for changes done before posting LIV in Tcode MIRO

Hi
By default data will be fetched from PO/GR for LIV however our users are changing few details such as payment terms, tax code, vendor code, vendor invoice amount etc., before posting LIV in tcode MIRO. We don't have any log for these changes done by our users.
We want to know what are fields which have been changed by our users at the time of doing LIV (i.e. before posting LIV).
Can any one help us in this regard.
Regards
P Karthikeyan

If you know those fields, you can find the differences for those field in table EKKO and EKPO for PO, the similar value will be available for IR in table RBKP and RSEG.
Like as payment term, The payment term is saved in table RBKP - ZTERM for MIRO.
The same will be available in table EKKO - ZTERM for PO.
If the value for both fields are same, then user has not changed the field at the time of MIRO.
If the value mismatched, then user has changes the value in MIRO.
In this way, you can find the differences for other fields.
