Suggestion to improve post messages for new threads

Hi all,
Is possible to add some 'banner' in the top of the screen of 'Post Message: New Thread' to help and improve new posts? Example:
Please, take care of:
1. You must place a descriptive name for the thread. Avoid ambiguous names (like: "Help me") or imperative names (like: "Help me now!!, i'am in a hurry")
2. You must put enough information to prevent the initial first response is asking for more information
general:
     - database version
table issues:
     -full description of table (column names, datatypes,...). Scripts of creation for tables.
performance issues:
     - execution plan.
data issues:
- post some example data. Scripts of insertion of some minimal data.
3. You must put formatted code using 'code' tags, enclosed by '{' and '}'; start tag and end tag are the same,you don't need to put '/' in
the close tag.
Note: I know there a FAQ Section (very good) but a lot of people don't follow it. Maybe, a solution could be some minimal recomedations on page 'Post Message: New Thread'.
Regards,

I agree that if the title of a post was done last instead of first, that we would perhaps see an increase in titles that actually make sense. However, I wonder how many would remember to tab (or click) to the Subject window to type in the title and just close the thread because they are done typing their problem. And I somehow doubt it would deter those that put "PLEASE HELP!" and "URGENT-MUST HAVE ANSWER NOW!" from continuing to do so.
And lastly, I don't think Jive allows that much customization of their software. Alas, we must live with those that "don't get it," and simply choose whether we will answer any particular post or not.
It is hard to educate the masses. Sigh.

  • Welcome message for new-registred users

    Hi!
    I'm not sure if this is already been suggested or if it's implemented already, but here I go:
    When a new user register at the forum or NI, I would presume that the user is new to LabVIEW. How about a welcome message for the new user? This could be a private message and contain useful information. Like links to the biggest and mostly used community groups, links to different basic tutorials, links to popular boards etc.
    I see that there are many new users that ask questions which would be answered by doing the basic tutorials. We provide them some links and they appreciate it alot. When I registred a year ago, for me, the NI site and forum where quite unfamiliar and I spent alot of time, just to get to known where to look for stuff. I didn't discover the basic tutorials until I posted a "newbie" question and got some links in reply. The tutorials helped me alot!
    The tutorials are not so hard to find, but I think many people, like myself, don't know they exists when they register to the forum.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, since my memory is like "10 second Tom" in the movie "Fifty first dates" with Adam Sandler

    Hi Laura,
    I found the 3 and 6 hour courses very useful. Also the learning LV 101 found here.
    I believe I just searched the forums for answers and posted questions if I could not find anything. Many of my questions would not have been nessesary if I had taken the courses first. 
    For providing the user with the links I can think of two ways:
    1. Since there can be users for other products thatn LabVIEW, maybe the links should be general for everyone.
    2. When a user registers, he/she should be able to choose products/interests and the private message could be built based on that. The register page should contain checkboxes and the user just select what he/she wants.

  • Checking for New Thread Content

    Other than "subscribing" to a thread, is there an efficient way to figure out whether there's any new content for any of the threads in "My Posts"? As my number of posts increases, it's taking longer and longer to scan that list for updated content.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I was hoping for something like a page with "My Updated Posts". I guess there isn't one.
    There isn't. Have you tried loading My Posts pages that are populated with more than the standard 10 posts, e.g.,
    http://discussions.apple.com/myposts.jspa?start=0&range=100
    which will load your last 100 posts? (You can insert any number after range= .)
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Error Message for new production order type

    I have created a new production order type and gone through all the configuration requirements that I'm aware of.  In testing this new order type, I get an error message in transacion CO02 when selecting the printer icon. The error is as follows:
    No reference document type defined for order type ZRWK
    Message no. CO179
    ZRWK being the new order type.
    I've searched through many posts and found nothing relating to this message.  Hopefully someone has encounted this before.
    I'm sure I've missed something, but can't pinpoint what it is.
    Help is greatly appreciated.

    Bob, did you check your print parameters?..Maybe you don't have your sap forms..You can check it with Tx. COPI
    The path is Print - Print Settings - Configuration Menu.

  • Need your suggestion / Input about choosing Apex for new application

    Guys,
    I came across oracle apex this week and started digging through the documentation and presentations. Read some forums as well. Now I believe, our application can be helpful by utilizing Apex but I would like to share high level application functionality which I am trying to implement through Apex
    Following are the functionality of the application:
    1) there will be 40 different entity in the application (create/edit/read/delete)
    2) Each entity and CRUD processing will be roles based
    3) On various events, send email and generate XML files for interfacing with external system
    4) Scheduling report generation and normal report generation
    5) Detail audit trail of the application (doesn't depend of Ajax, but still want to point out)
    6) Various search capabilities for each entity
    7) On various event and user selection: generate PDF file which user can download / print.
    8) Many client side and server side validations.
    Based on my reading, I believe this can be easily achieved with certainly some learning curve in AJAX. (which I have to do as I lost my entire project team due to budget issues.). I have a web devleopment background using Java, JSP and Servlet for 5 years. (Nothing in last 3 years though)
    Please let me know your thoughts based on my current situation and functionality.
    Also, Do i need to buy anything to get started with apex and implementing apex full blown application (they say it's free, but just want to understand your perspective as well).
    Thank you for reading the post and your support.

  • First post, looking for new Demand5 eps

    Hello forum
    As stated first post so keeping it simple. Where is the last Walking Dead episode (25/08) on Demand5 in Catch Up section. It has regularly been accessable by 12pm Monday since season 3 aired but no sign of it today.
    I noticed the new Once apon a time and The Barrior are on and wondered if someone had forgotton to update it.
    Hangnail

    Don't normally add to my own posts without reply but wanted to update.
    I see that channel 5 has replaced the Monday repeat with Under the Dome. Can anyone at BT confirm that this precludes them from showing The Walking Dead.
    Any information, even a head scratch would be something at this point. Thank you

  • Process for new amalgamated company

    Hi,
    Currently client has 2 database companies with Financial year 1st September 2009 to 31st August 2010.
    However, they want to close the 2 companies with only 8-months and they are legally setting up a new amalgamated company with posting period starting 1st May 2010.
    Company 1 has more information. What would be the best option?
    1) Create a new database for new company and move across opening transactions from 2 old companies.
    2) Delete 4 periods from 1st company database for May to August 2010. Create new posting periods for new company in 1st database. Move across opening transactions from 2nd company to 1st. Change the Admin name of company 1.
    3) Any other ideas?
    What impact will option 2 have on financial reports?
    Thanks.

    If it is legally a new company, there should not be any open transactions. These transactions would be closed off in the old company? You may need to clarify whether you are just creating opening balances & transferring master data, or if open debtors etc need to be transferred
    The best practice would be to create a new company. Changing the length of financial years impacts on the sbility to run XL Reports, and on the Fixed Assets module - which simply won't work at all after a change in FY.
