Toshiba forum registration issues

Had quite a few problems when I tried to register for Toshiba forums:
1) Which forum - forums.toshiba.com seems to be completely separate registration from forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com - you can't use ID from toshiba.com on toshiba-europe.com?
2) Went through complete registration at toshiba-europe.com then it wouldn't let me login.
So I tried the "forgotten password" option and it say's my ID is not recognised.
Then I tried re-registering and it says the ID is already taken
It can't be both not recognised and already taken - surely??

You are right about forums.
This forum is European Toshiba Forum and other one is US Toshiba forum. You cannot login with the same account. US forum is separate forum and there you can discuss with people about models offered on US or Canadian market.
I dont know what is wrong with login and cannot help you with it but if a registration is completed login should not be problematic. In worst case simply create new account.

  • Trying to add captcha to forum registration page...

    You can do that on all forms Penny, Does keep them clean.
    It does mean that with no javascript they will never work, but in this day an age that should not be an issue.
    It looks like they were not hitting the registration url, but may have had a cached version of the page and using that to submit Penny.
    Its a good sollution - ideally for properness data- is a html5 attribute so the doctype really needs to be that. In XHML using rel="" on the form with the action in there is a good alternative as well.
    As a note Lynda's code was :
    $('.data-submit').data();
    This woud return all data
    $('.data-submit').data('action');
    Is more specifc and faster, if you had other data elements it would just fetch all or fall over.

  • Jabber for Windows Registration Issue

    I have been facing issue with J4W registration and display error "no connection to server". Following is the version detail:-
    Version CUCM and IM&P---> (10.5.2)
    On-Premises login
    During analysis, i found 2 things in logs:-
    1). Unable to download jabber-config.xml file (Download of TFTP File failed for server ) //// all the other xml files are succesfully downloaded which may indicate that there is an absence of jabber-config.xml file.
    2). While signing into presence "OnLoginError: (data=0) LERR_JABBER_UNREACHABLE <16>: "

    Nishant,
    Sorry for the late reply. You may well have resolved this  by now, if you have can I suggest that you update the post with the resolution so others may benefit.
    Looking at the logs, I can see that Jabber is trying to login to the IMP server below, but its returning server unreachable error.
    Signing into Presence Server. Server: 162.20.10.30, login mode: ON_PREM, result: 0

    We will need to look at the IMP logs to know what is going on. Let me know if you still need help with this.

  • How should I report forum performance issues?

    The forums rely heavily on the caching features of browsers to improve the speed of page rendering. Performance of these forums should greatly improve after a few pages because more and more of the images, css and javascript is cached in the browser. As a consequence, when reporting forums performance issues the report should include some information on the state of the browser cache to determine whether the issue is a browser issue or a server issue. Such detailed information is generally not available from just watching the browser screen, but needs to come from specialized tools such as performance monitor plugins and recording proxies.
    The preferred report method for performance issues is to use the speed reporting features build into or available as a plugin for a browser for both the page you want to report a problem with and several refence pages in the site. Detailed instructions are listed below separated out for different browsers. If possible, please use Firefox for submitting the report because it provides an export format that can be read back electronically.
    Known performance issues
    The performance issues with any screen with a Rich Text Editor, such as the Reply window and the compose Private Message window have been acknowleged and improvements are being implemented.
    Mozilla Firefox (preferred)
    Warning: it is currently not recommended to generate a speed report when logged in. The speed report has enough detail for somebody else to hijack your session and impersonate you on the forums. If you really must report while logged in, make sure you log out your browser after generating the speed report and wait at least 4 hours before posting.

    When you report a performance problem please attach the 6 exports from the Firebug Net panel and an explanation of how you are experiencing the issues (for instance how much slower it is then normal) and include a description of your internet connection (dial-up, dsl, cable etc.) and the country from where you are connecting. If you have non-standard tweaks to your Firefox configuration (such as pipelining enabled) or are running any plugins please include that information in your report as well.

    Since Google Chrome does not have an export format for the Resource Tracking information best current practice is to take a screenshot and note the hover details for any resource with a tail that is longer then 25% of the total load time. When you report a performance problem please attach the screenshots and an explanation of how you are experiencing the issues (for instance how much slower it is then normal)  and include a description of your internet connection (dial-up, dsl, cable etc.) and the country from where you are connecting.
    Apple Safari
    The Apple Safari Web Inspector has a Resources panel similar to the Resources panel in the Google Chrome developer tools.To get there, follow these steps:
    Show the menu bar.
    Go to preferences
    Go to the Advanced Tab
    Check “Show  Develop menu in menu bar”.
    From the Develop menu select “Show Web  Inspector”. 
    Collecting the performance information and exporting works exactly the same as in Google Chrome. Please refer to the instructions for Google Chrome.
    Microsoft Internet Explorer
    IE does not have native features to analyze web traffic. No plugins have been found that produce the required information (please let us know if we missed any). For now, please reproduce the issue with Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
    Please note that due to the reliance on Javascript for the interactive effects the performance of these forums will be much better on MS IE 8 then on previous versions of MS IE.

  • Forum registration captcha

    Hi!
    I think the forum registration captcha ("For which Linux distribution is this forum?") should accept either "Arch", "Arch Linux" and "Archlinux" as correct replies. It took me several minutes of uselessly twiddling with my browser settings before I hit on trying to spell it the latter way.
    At least I think that's what finally got me registered. Please pardon me if I am wrong.

  • Toshiba notebook registration reminder has stopped working

    Hi
    everytime I open my laptop it shows "Toshiba notebook registration reminder has stopped working"
    How can I fix that?

    Hello
    Do you need the registration reminder? I dont think so if you have already registered your notebook
    Easiest way is you disable the program from start up Navigate to start > run > msconfig and select start up tab. Then search for registration reminder and uncheck the box.
    Afte restarting the computer it shouldnt appear anymore. Can you confirm this?

  • Toshiba's WiFi issues and their lack of support - you are not alone

    For those of you out there having issues with WiFi on a Toshiba Laptop, you are definitely not alone.
    Over the past couple years I've noticed an increasing number of different makes and models of toshiba notebooks and laptops having the same issue.
    In the past year, 100% of the toshibas that have come into my workshop have had this issue, this is about 75% of the laptops I have serviced.
    These models have all had different wifi hardware (Agere, Intel and Realtek)
    The wifi switch is turned on, on the same computer some programs detect it as being switched on, others see it as switched off.
    Irregardless, it won't connect to a router wirelessly even when it used to.
    The answers from toshiba have been the usual unprofessional form reply of: it must be the router, try toggling the switch, have you updated bios?, update the drivers et al.
    This is a software problem, and given the amount of people on this forum talking about the same issue, it is a big one.
    Frequently I have come across the issue of the windows services for wireless communication being disabled by Toshiba's software and I believe this is a conflict between tosh's software and various others (zone alarm, windows et al)
    In some cases the software seems to interfere and corrupt the drivers of the windows OS and interfere with their implementation and execution, which is worrying, the software should not be touching those areas at all.(otherwise what's the point of a layered OS)
    I have occasionally managed to force it back into working (such as restarting the services manually), but such workarounds are not a "clean" way of doing things.
    The most reliable way to fix this issue seems to be, backup your data & reformat back to manufacturer specs, then immediately uninstall toshiba's software and update the woefully old drivers (even the ones on the site are about a year out of date for the model I am working on now.) Unfortunately most of my clients are businesses which need a LOT of data kept in different places backed up and then a ton of specialist programs to be reinstalled, which is time-consuming and costly.
    Message to TOSHIBA:
    Please make a sticky in this forum for all the ACTUAL solutions, not one of the threads I looked at with your suggestions was a solved one.
    If there is little-no support for your products in this regard, I will contact the ACCC, choice and Fair Trading associations with an open letter that I will ask all of the relevant customers to sign, and I will put out a country-wide call for people with the same issue to step forward.
    I would also ask if you are having an issue where your wifi stopped working and it does not want to detect or work, please just post 'bump' under here so that way we can keep it reasonably clutter free.
    I used to recommend Toshiba and Asus for laptops, now the list is down to one.
    Regards from Australia (the aus site sent me here for the forums)
    Damien Holley

    Wireless LAN has always been a bit tricky to get up and running, that's just how it is. Its not a problem specific to Toshiba, all manufacturers and even Desktop PC's have to deal with the same complications.
    There can be multiple Wireless Managers installed, but only one can control the Wifi Card at any time.
    Here is what I suggest you try (keeping things simple and easy):
    1. Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, and uninstall the Wireless Managers/Clients
    * If you have an Intel Wifi card, uninstall the Intel PROSet Utility (or it could be called Intel MyWifi).
    * If you have a Realtek or Atheros Wifi Card, uninstall their Wireless Manager/Client. (don't uninstall the Driver itself, you need that).
    * Uninstall ConfigFree
    2. Now go to Control Panel ->Administrative Tools -> Services, and enable the built-in Microsoft Wifi Manager.
    Scroll down to "WLAN AutoConfig" or "Wireless Zero Config" and ensure they are set to "Started" and Automatic"
    Other things that can cause Wifi problems are:
    * Firewall/Antivirus software. They can block unknown Wifi/Network connections.
    * DHCP Dynamic IP Addressing. Using a Static IP Address can get a Wifi problem working.
    * The Firmware on your Wireless Router (Access Point) may be outdated. Check the Manufacturers website for an updated Firmware.
    * Surrounding Electrical devices can interfere, such as a Microwave, cordless phone, etc..

  • Zenworks 7 Linux Management Device Registration Issue

    All,
    Below is a detailed description of a resistration issue using Zenworks
    Linux Management 7.
    Hardware Configuration:
    1- DSL Modem (Westell Model 2200)
    1- DI 614+ 2.4 GHz Broadband Wireless Router (includes 4-5 ethernet
    ports) with a IP address of 192.168.0.1
    1- PC Server running Redhat SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (has a static
    IP address of 192.168.0.103). This machine is running the Zenworks 7
    Linux Management Software and is able to sucessfully launch the Zenworks
    7 Control Panel.
    1- Redhat Linux Enterprise Server 3 on a completely different network
    with a static IP address (207.44.142.56). This machine is running the
    Zenworks Linux Management Agent install using the ./zlm-install -a
    command.
    Network Configuration:
    The broadband DSL modem is connected directly to the WAN ethernet port on
    the wireless router
    The primary PC server running Redhat SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 has a
    direct connection to one of the ethernet ports on the wireless broadboard
    router with a private static IP address of 192.168.0.103 and has a public
    IP of 70.22.107.168.
    The DSL modem is has a direct connection to the telephone line.
    The Redhat Linux Enterprise Server 3 is on a completely different network
    with a IP of 207.44.142.56.
    No firewalls are configured on the primary server and the wireless router
    Port Forwarders are configured on the broadband wireless router as
    follows:
    zlm1
    192.168.0.103
    TCP 80/80
    always
    zlm2
    192.168.0.103
    TCP 443/443

    always
    zlm8
    192.168.0.103
    TCP 10636/10636
    always
    Goal:
    To successfully register the Redhat Linux Enterprise 3 server (i.e. the
    managed device with IP 207.44.142.56) with the primary server
    (192.168.0.103 SUSE Redhat Enterprise Server 9 machine) so it can be
    viewed and managed from the Zenworks 7 Control panel.
    Nature of Problem:
    When attempting to register the managed device (207.44.142.56) with the
    primary server (192.168.0.103) which resides inside of my Wireless Local
    Area Network (WLAN) via the following command, it appears to fail. I'm
    unable to view or configure this managed device inside of the Zenworks 7
    Linux Management Control Panel. The following are 2 manual approaches
    that I take to register the managed device and the results for each.
    Register using private IP approach:
    /opt/novell/zenworks/bin/rug sa https://192.168.0.103
    Results: ERROR: Could not add 'https://192.168.0.103': Download failed:
    (https://192.168.0.103/zenworks-registration/service.xml) Error:

    duplicate question - can I gently mention a point? Whilst we naturally
    understand that you may need information/help in a hurry, asking the
    same question in multiple forums dilutes the answers you get, and makes
    more work for those of us who have to read them; it would help if you
    could avoid this in future.
    Many thanks

    Goal:
    To successfully register the Redhat Linux Enterprise 3 server (i.e. the
    managed device with IP 207.44.142.56) with the primary server
    (192.168.0.103 SUSE Redhat Enterprise Server 9 machine) so it can be
    viewed and managed from the Zenworks 7 Control panel.
    Nature of Problem:
    When attempting to register the managed device (207.44.142.56) with the
    primary server (192.168.0.103) which resides inside of my Wireless Local
    Area Network (WLAN) via the following command, it appears to fail. I'm
    unable to view or configure this managed device inside of the Zenworks 7
    Linux Management Control Panel. The following are 2 manual approaches
    that I take to register the managed device and the results for each.
    Register using private IP approach:
    /opt/novell/zenworks/bin/rug sa https://192.168.0.103
    Results: ERROR: Could not add 'https://192.168.0.103': Download failed:
    (https://192.168.0.103/zenworks-registration/service.xml) Error:
    ConnectFailure
    Register using public IP approach:
    /opt/novell/zenworks/bin/rug sa https://70.22.107.168
    Results: ERROR: Could not add 'https://70.22.107.168': Download failed:

    duplicate question - can I gently mention a point? Whilst we naturally
    understand that you may need information/help in a hurry, asking the
    same question in multiple forums dilutes the answers you get, and makes
    more work for those of us who have to read them; it would help if you
    could avoid this in future.
    Many thanks

  • EBS Registration issue

    Hi All,
    We have done the sso registration successfully , but sso login functionality is not working as expected.
    Please provide some inputs to fix this issue.
    Environment
    We are on 11gR2 database for both OID and EBS 11.5.10.2.
    OID version 11g on web logic server.
    SSO server version is 10.1.4.3
    In the front end it is showing the below error while login using the SSO URL.
    "The Single Sign-On server registration is invalid. Please contact the System Administrator. "
    When we run the below query in the backend (EBS R11 DB) it suppose to get the records without any error or it is suppose to show just “no rows selected”, but I got the “ORA-29275” error in the backend
    Query: select FROM FND_USER_PREFERENCES WHERE USER_NAME = '#INTERNAL'*
    and I ran the FND Log Query, found these messages..."END with errors for getSSOVerion"
    Query--> select * from fnd_log_messages where module like '%fnd.sso.FNDSSOLoginRedirect%' order by timestamp desc;
    out put:
    MODULE,LOG_LEVEL,MESSAGE_TEXT,SESSION_ID,USER_ID,TIMESTAMP,LOG_SEQUENCE,ENCODED,NODE,NODE_IP_ADDRESS,PROCESS_ID,JVM_ID,THREAD_ID,AUDSID,DB_INSTANCE,TRANSACTION_CONTEXT_ID
    fnd.sso.FNDSSOLoginRedirect,6,END with errors for getSSOVerion,-1,-1,7/7/2011 5:39:36 PM,16151017,N,agsos186,155.108.22.210,5161,8230:16210,Thread[Thread-17669,10,main],46984138,1,3762242
    I have run the below mentioned steps to register the sso with EBS R11.

    Remarks
    1.1
    Pasting of regular text results in double-line spacing. Pasting of code with Syntax Highlighting does not produce double-line spacing, but includes line numbers when pasting in a rich text editor window, or results in indented lines when pasting to the command prompt or plain text window.
    1.2
    Pasting of code with Syntax Highlighting includes line numbers when pasting into notepad or to the command prompt. Copying of normal text does not wrap and appears a single line when pasting into notepad.
    3.1
    Selecting of code and copying works, but selected text looks like a tape and is not visible.
    5.1
    Copy works find and does not include line numbers, but the text is indented.
    When pasting text into a rich text enabled editor window, it includes line numbers.
    5.2
    Code in syntax highlighting does not copy blank lines, but copies line numbers.
    6.1
    Only parts of a code segment can be copied, but not the complete code segment. Copy and paste always copies an additional line that was actually not selected.
    6.3
    Copy and paste only copies the code but not syntax highlighting, which can however be can be re-applied.
    8.1
    Applying syntax highlighting now applies a font that is suitable for displaying code.
    However, it is not possible to change the font, if necessary, or apply color or bold or highlighting. Color can be applied, which looks like double-vision, but anyway is removed when posting.
    10.1
    Not working reliably. Sometimes the last line selected is not changed, or only the first line changes.
    11.1
    Sometimes fonts are not displayed properly, for instance, the text insertion point may show Arial, but the text is Courier. There is no clear pattern when this happens or what triggers the problem.
    11.3
    The text insertion point or selected text always reports the font name "font family", regardless of the font applied.
    15.1
    Ctrl-z aborting editor functions under Firefox on Mac OS X. However, Cmd-z, which is standard, works properly. This problem does not affect Safari.
    Issue
    Steps to reproduce
    Workaround
    1
    Copy a couple or more lines of text from a discussion window and paste it into any application or document on your host system. For instance:
    The following may produce double line spacing:
    If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those
    ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it.
    The following should work correctly:
    If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will
    cause the most damage will be the first one to go wrong
    Use Shift-Return instead of Return to terminate the end of lines when creating text.
    Use a different browser to perform cut and paste operations, such as Apple Safari or Google Chrome.
    2
    Paste some text code into the forum editor window. Select the code and choose Syntax Highlighting:Plain from the editor toolbar (>>). Close and re-edit the thread. It is not possible to place the insertion point below the block of code in order to add any additional lines of code or to add any normal text. For instance:
    mknod compress_pipe p
    mknod export_pipe p
    chmod +rw export_pipe compress_pipe
    nohup split -b 8192m < export_pipe &
    nohup gzip < compress_pipe > export_pipe &
    exp system/passwd full=y direct=y consistent=y compress=n \
    buffer=10485760 file=compress_pipe
    It is possible to insert additional code or text below Syntax Highlighting, provided the frame it is not the end, as shown in issue 7.
    Add any line of text at the end of your code before applying Syntax Highlighting to the lines above.
    Adding code within the frame of Syntax Highlighting works in Safari and Google Chrome.
    3
    Re-edit a post with Syntax Highlighting. It is not possible to properly select any lines of code. An additional empty code line is added and the focus is shifted. The selection mask does not match the actual text. It is pretty much impossible to re-edit Syntax Highlighting.
    Screenshot: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6121/viun.jpg
    Use Safari or Google Chrome when to re-edit text or code under Syntax Highlighting.
    4
    Every subsequent edit of a post with Syntax Highlighting adds an empty blank line to the code block with an incremented line number. The resulting empty lines (07, 08) shown in the screenshot cannot be selected or removed unless there is text below the code frame as shown in issue 7. Screenshot: http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/5514/cxkd.jpg
    Removing of empty lines woks in Safari and Google Chrome.
    5
    When browsing code with Syntax Highlighting, it is not possible to select the code without the line numbers. Screenshot: http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/6626/j7n7.jpg
    Select and copy each line separately. Or use Firefox or Google Chrome, but note issue in Remark 5.
    6
    When editing, it is possible to copy and paste lines under Syntax Highlighting when selecting the lines, but not when selecting the complete Syntax Highlighting frame.
    Carefully select text without the Syntax Highlighting frame boundaries.
    7
    Empty lines and white space (identation) in Syntax Highlighting are suppressed when browsing, although they exist in the actual post. For instance:
    mknod compress_pipe p
       mknod export_pipe p
    Screenshot when editing the above code:
    http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/673/kmy4.jpg
    8
    Syntax Highlighting changes the font to Arial and it is not possible to apply something more suitable for the displaying of code, such as fixed-width Courier New.
    mknod compress_pipe p
    Arial: 1l0OI
    Courier New: 1l0OI
    Arial: 1l0OI
    Courier New: 1l0OI
    9
    It is not possible to paste any text into the editor window.
    Use a different web browser or downgrade to IE 10.
    Or enable F12 Developer Tools from the Tools menu. Press Ctrl-8
    Change the default document mode from Edge to IE 10. Select Leave this page.
    10
    Create a new thread and type several lines of text. Then select select several lines of text and choose a font, e.g. Courier New. Not all selected lines are changed and only a couple of lines remain highlighted. For instance:
    It is difficult to prove the existence of aliens.
    Photos exist with aliens, but they could be fake.
    On the other hand, photos without aliens could be fake too.
    11
    Select a line of text and change the font to Courier New. Then select the line again and it will show Arial. Change the font to Courier New and the text will change back to Arial.

    Copy a URL and paste it into the editor window. The URL will be shown as a hyperlink using blue text. It is not possible to continue with normal writing without changing the text of the link. The text insertion point is captured inside the text of the link when trying to click below the link.
    After pasting the URL, use the arrow key or mouse to move the cursor to the end of the link, then press RETURN and start writing normally. You can than move the cursor to the beginning of the line and use BACKSPACE to move the text up, after the link.

    When replying to a thread and pressing the Quote Previous Message button and then clicking inside the quoted text, for instance, to remove some of the content, it is sometimes no longer possible to move the text insertion point outside of the quoted text back to the normal editing area.
    When this happens it helps to switch to HTML and then switch back to the Full Editor.
    14
    While writing normal text in the editor, it sometimes becomes impossible to edit a line of text. When clicking on any text to move the text insertion point, it selects the complete paragraph instead. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/585/d0v5.jpg. When pressing the "Post Message" button, a dialog appears to "Stay" or "Leave" the page.
    Apparently the editor adds HTML label tags for no apparent reason, which can be seen when switching the editor to HTML mode. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/199/1r5a.jpg
    15
    Copy some text into the editor window. Select the text and choose Syntax Highlighting form the >> insert toolbar. Undo using Ctrl-z. It is no longer possible to use any of the >> insert functions. After that it is also not possible to post the message, resulting in an unexpected error and the content is lost.
    16
    Syntax Highlighting shows several <span> at the beginning and end of the Syntax Highlighting block after posting. This affects old and new posts.
    17
    When changing the width of a table column, entering the 2nd number gets punched into the cell content instead.
    After entering the first number, click in the entry field again to enter the 2nd number.

    Automatic insertion of links to support.oracle.com contains more info, including responses from Oracle staff.
    20
    Change the width of browser window until the editor toolbar appears. It will then stay on top when scrolling through pages.
    21
    Select Syntax Highlighting, Plain from the >> insert menu, then copy and past several lines of text (code) into it. Or, copy and paste the text, then mark the text with the mouse and select SH from the insert menu. Many times, the insertion point is not reflecting it's actual position when you click inside the text. Very often it is also not possible to position the insertion point to the end or beginning of a line using the left and right arrow keys; the insertion point jumps to the next line, even though the end of the line has not been reached.
    For instance:
    The text insertion point [|] is showing up between the words "point" and "is", but when pressing the delete key or entering text, it affects a different area.
    22
    The following is a picture with text and Syntax Highlighting.
    In tables, pressing the delete key will remove or rearrange the hover-up window.
    23
    The original or initial post of a thread is shown with a grey background when browsing. Depending on the web browser application, this background is also copied when doing a copy and paste of the text, provided the target window supports rich text editing.
    Change the target editor window to plain text.
    24
    After resizing a pasted image to the same size than the original, the quality is much worse. The following shows a screenshot of the original and copied image:
    When resizing a picture by moving the image end-points, the editor does no longer show the current picture dimensions (pixel x pixel) as it did in Jive 5. Also when copying a picture between documents, the picture is enlarged and requires resizing.
    25
    Copy and paste content from /etc/oratab, for example:
    The same also happens when pasting the text into a Syntax Highlighting field.
    It is often necessary to use undo (ctrl-z, cmd-z) to get rid of the mess.

    Holy.... wow, this is helpful, thank you so much for kicking this off, Dude!
    BluShadow I know you are in favor of reenabling code formatting and ditching the Syntax Highlighter altogether. I've also heard that users would prefer the advanced editor to open by default. Anything else on the wishlist?
    correction, I would certainly be in favour (favor to you ) of reenabling code tags, mainly because I work quicker by copy/paste and by keyboard than by having to click through a load of buttons (that currently don't do what they should).  I've not said that syntax highlighting should be ditched altogether, and I'd certainly be in favour of it being there, just so long as it provided a decent formatting that was appropriate, so code actually looked like code, and the ability for people to copy/paste the code out of the forum to their own environment wasn't corrupted with double line spacing (as dude has already mentioned) and the addition of the line numbers it puts in (the line numbers are useful for reference on the forum, e.g. when we want to say "you're problem is on line X", but not good when you copy/paste code out to your environment and have to spend ages deleting them all to get the code to do anything).  If it's too difficult, then removing the line numbers from the code formatting would be preferable to having them there and not being able to copy the code out without them.
    I agree with dude that it would be good to be able to highlight portions of code with bold or colours, which the old forum didn't allow, but this one does, so it's really a combination of old and new that's needed.  And as dude highlights, the supressing of blank lines is a pain as it can make the posting of multiple code commands become all compressed and difficult to read, and is not representative of what we have in our interfaces such as SQL*Plus etc.
    Basic example:
    Copy paste from my SQL*Plus window into the forum (and me applying courier new and quoting it)...

    Obviously that's a basic example; in reality we can be providing a solution to someone, explaining multiple steps and commands to demonstrate their issue and the solution, and having to go back through the code once we've pasted it adding back in all the line spacings, is a real pain and time consuming.
    Certainly, having the advanced editor options available immediately for replying would be better than having to switch to it manually, especially as most people using these forums are going to want to paste code in (what with it being a technical forum and not really a social forum), and the basic editor just doesn't allow for any suitable code formatting (unless the person is mad enough to switch to HTML mode).

  • Toshiba hard drive issues...

    Okay, per Apple discussion forum rules, this is going to be a technical question.
    Toshiba states the Mean Time To Fail (MTTF) of the MK4006GAH to be 300,000 power on hours. This is the 40gig drive used in the 4G 40gig iPods. They also claim a product life of 5 years or 20,000 power on hours. These numbers are way higher than that being experienced by thousands of us who bought these expensive little machines. Look in ANY iPod related forum to find these HDD deaths are widespread.
    Are these problems directly related to Toshiba faulty manufacturing? If so, many of us need to lean on Toshiba to fix this. If not, what has Apple done to shorten the lifespan on these drives?
    What can I, as a consumer of iPods and Macintosh computers do to extend the life of this unit? When my hard drive starts with the now infamous "whirr click whirr click", what are the steps to recovery?
    The suggested remedy here on the Apple forums and in many other forums is to drop the ipod from approximately waist height to a carpeted floor. This is supposed to jar the hard drive back into proper action. This is unacceptable.

    he MTTF and similar operating life projections are probably based upon the drive being used in a more benign environment than an ipod
    ipods can get bounced around quite a lot, this will increase the chance of failure
    that said, the 40gb is in my opinion a lemon, i had one fail inside a week of purchase so i just took it back for a refund and got a smaller one
    on the forum there seem to be a disproportionate number of 40gb failures reported vs. reports of smaller units that were sold at the same time
    the 40gb has more platters and a higher mass head assembly than the smaller units of the same family of disks, this would make it more vulnerable to damage

  • Windows 7 64-bit X-Fi Registration Issue

    I recently built a new PC using an Asus Crosshair III ROG board, which included a Sound Blaster X-Fi card. I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Professional.
    I've downloaded the correct X-Fi audio utility for 64 bit Windows 7 from Asus and installed the software. However when I open up the mixer it requires activation for the first use. Not an issue, I have the key provided by Asus, however after inputting the key I receive an error from the activation software stating "An error occured while trying to obtain a Valid Activation Key from the internet (error 3)."
    It then opens up a browser and asks for a the activation key again. After I input the key and submit, I receive a page which says my card has been activated.
    Great, however nothing changes with my card.
    I suspect this is a Creative issue with Windows 7 64 bit.
    Anyone solved this issue?
    Thanks,

    Re: Windows 7 64-bit X-Fi PCI-Express Audio console" http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/SB-P7X-Series-Support-Pack-2-0-07-3-2009-AudigySE-Value-LS/td-p/53329
    That is for your card, sorry about that. Then you can download and install the newest Creative driver on top of this package. You will first unpack Dan K.'s support pack, install it, reboot. Make sure your sound is functioning and that in Device Manager you have Creative X-FI, not high definition multimedia device. Then reboot again, and install the newest Creative Labs driver. Now you can configure your system for number of speakers, tone, bass, EQ, Crystalizer, etc.
