View New Posts in Idea Exchange

Is it possible to add a feature to View the latest messages posted onto the LabVIEW Idea Exchange. The ability to sort by last message would suffice. I like to follow the discussions, but sometimes I see there's a new message, but I have to click through 40 pages to find which topic the reply was posted to.

Yes. That is pretty much the only way right now to be sure you get all the messages. Occasionally, I can still miss some. For instance, if I have an e-mail that I thought I clicked on and read the idea linked in it, but actually haven't. Or the way the long threads that go onto multiple pages, and I miss the last message that rolls onto a new page and I didn't realize it because the link to go to the next page is at the top of the screen. (And why don't the messages show you that 5 pages are avaible to that thread.) You can see a count of total messages. But it will show you Now 1-10, and a link to go to 11-21. But there is no link to go to the last page. You have to go through the pages one by to get the link to the following page.
The naviagation controls in the individual threads need major improvement. (i.e. jump links at the bottom as well as the top, and links that go to other places then the page that just follows your current page.) And the whole board needs a real sorting mechanism that allows you to view the newest messages whether they are the original message or comments. The "snapshot" links to the right of the screen just really don't do that.

When i add my existing email account all saved email foward to my iphone and i dont want that to happen, i just want new emails, any ideas?

when i added my email account it brings up all emails i have saved and i only want to view new emails any ideas?

This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password. instead of the yahoo account password.

Problem switching from a non Idea Exchange board to an Idea Exchange board when typing a new post

Tested on Chrome/XP and IE8/XP
when I start a post in a non Idea Exchange forum and later on want to convert it into an Idea Exchange one, I can switch to the correct forum using the "Select Board" pull-down list. However, when posting, my post is refused because I haven't chosen a "Label". Well, that's because I can't!
In other words, switching to an Idea Exchange board does not add the "Label" options on the composition webpage, hence it is impossible to post that idea unless you copy it (or rely on the autosave function), start a new post directly into a Idea Exchange forum and paste your old post in it (or alternatively, load the saved draft once you have created the new post).
Disclaimer: this may have already reported, but as I said elsewhere, the Search function doesn't work either...

This is my first post so be gentle with me. I have a Pixi Plus running os 1.4.5. Last week we upgraded to exchange 2010 (or 14 as I've heard it called). I lost the connection on my phone. I tried changing the inheritable permisions above and it has not solved it. I'm pretty sure all the log in info I'm using is correct. It acts like it's communicating with the server because it says
Unable to sign in
Could not sign into account
THe mail server responded: bad login/password
I've changed several things and when I change certain things it says it cannot validate incoming mail server so I feel like I'm close but can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

New Idea Exchange?

I think there should be a new board under the Idea Exchanges for new features for the forums. The only one I can think of that I would post there are this and this.

24 Great Ideas from Idea Exchange for you to Kudos

There are 1140 ideas on the LabVIEW Idea Exchange right now. That's a lot of ideas, and it doesn't even count the RT or FPGA exchanges. Reading through all of them is something most of you can't spend time doing. Some of the ideas quickly garner a lot of Kudos, and those jump to the top of the lists and get attention from NI. Others are good, but they languish, lost in the noise.
I have read them all, generally by staying up-to-date on the forum ever since its inception. I kudos'd many as I went. Over the weekend, I went through all of the ideas I had kudos'd and picked out a set that I think a lot of customers would want but that don't have the high Kudos ratings. Maybe these got posted on a weekend or holiday. Maybe the title is a bit misleading and you didn't bother to read it. Or maybe you've just stopped reading the Idea Exchange because you couldn't keep up with the wash of words fellow wire workers are writing. Perhaps this simplified menu will be a bit easier to browse.
To be clear: I'm not including any of the ideas that already have high Kudos counts. Those are great ideas, but they've already got their time in the sun. These are the little quiet ideas that I think might make a big impact on your productivity, your VI's functionality or your VIs performance. All of these had fewer than 100 Kudos when I made this list. Full disclosure: Two ideas on the list (12 & 23) are ones I submitted to the Exchange. I think they warrant being on the list, but maybe I'm biased because they happen to affect the areas of LV I use most. You be the judge... :-)

There you go... 1140 down to 24. If you've got other aspects of LV you'd like to see improved, add them to the Idea Exchange.

A good example is the fact that one of the most popular ideas ever was the idea to adjust the design of the boolean constant. Altenbach, who came up with that idea, have received less kudos for other ideas that I'm sure would give him (and us) much higher benefits. Popularity and greatness are very often two different things.
Although I get your general point, having used LV 2010 in beta for the last few months, the improvement of readability of diagrams brought by the boolean constant change cannot be understated. Tons of VIs have arrays of boolean constants on them, have boolean constants squeezed into small corners, etc, and the redesign has helped A LOT.
Speaking to your general point -- my goal was to find low-ranked ideas that I felt would have significant developer impact and give people a second chance to review those ideas. Are there other ideas among the 1000 that are worth doing? Sure. I tried to find a broad enough set that people could actually make a meaningful choice of what to kudos (any fewer and it would be akin to "hey, everyone, come vote for this particular idea"). And it does rely upon my opinion -- though I tried to use my professional opinion as someone who regularly hears user feedback to promote ideas that I think users would generally like, as opposed to my personal opinion as a LV developer to improve the areas of LV that I personally use a lot.
I know that customers like it when NI is responsive to its demands. I know that NI knows this and so is proactively trying to address concerns that make it high on the Idea Exchange. LV 2010 is coming out in August. If you look at the ideas that are tagged "In Beta", you can see the responsiveness of NI. As we start work on the next version of LV (or rather, full time work, since future versions of LV are always already in work -- we are a parallel language in so many ways), we're going to go find the next batch of ideas to implement. But I also know that there can be user fatigue with the Idea Exchange's massive amount of content. That fatigue can lead to a strange situation where NI addresses the high flying concerns and, users are still left feeling they didn't quite get what they wanted, but they maybe can't say why because, after all, NI implemented the high kudos ideas. I cherry picked some ideas that, if implemented, I think would get a lot of people saying, "Yes, LV is now better" as a way of avoiding some of that fatigue effect. Is it a list of earthshattering ideas that revolutionize LV? No. It is a list of incremental improvements that should affect lots of people and make LV recognizably better to its users.

Memory usage of big Array in sub-VI (was: Allow the creation of "Inplace"-VIs of Idea Exchange)

Hi,
this thread is based on my post in the LabVIEW idea exchange.
I put my VIs in the attached .rar file.

That would be a good explanation. There was a thread on something very similar to this recently. Can't remember exactly the topic but Daniel's answer certainly triggered some memories of a very similar discussion taking place.
I think it had to do with LV assigning a Array created as a constant as Read-only so in order to make changes to it it needs to be copied to a new memory location, thus leaving the constant unchanged.
I wonder how it performs in other LV versions.
Shane.

Cannot view new files on networked mac

Hi all, I posted this last year but I think it was in the wrong section.....here goes again..
I have 2 macs linked via an ethernet cable (g4/400 g4/1.2dual).
The 400 is on 10.3.9 and the 1.25 is on 10.4.11
When I do the "Connect to Server" thing from g4/400, I can see g4/1.2's desktop folder with all the files that are on that desktop.
If g4/1.2 adds a file to that desktop I can't see it from g4/400 unless I disconnect and re-connect.
It's the same for any folder not just the Desktop folder.
Is there any way to "refresh" the view?
It's really inconvenient, but I'm sure it used to work ok. It does however work fine the other way round viewing new files on the 400 from the 1.25.
Any ideas??
Thanks
G

HI Granger,
Open System Preferences/Sharing and make sure you have both Personal File Sharing and Windows Sharing turned on the G4/400.

Is Eloqua actually doing anything with Ideas Exchange?

I don't want this post to come across as brash, just wanted to spark some discussion.
I'm a fairly new Eloqua customer, and part of the onboarding included promotion about the new topliners community and the Salesforce.com driven Ideas Exchange.
I was looking through the ideas that had more than 100 points, and I couldn't find any where a (identified) representative from Eloqua has openly commented. Additionally, it does not appear that any suggested idea has ever come to fruition. Is this a misperception? It seems like there used to be another solution in place before they went to this new platform - what have some of you long time users experienced?
I've periodically voted, commented, and posted a couple ideas of my own; I'm trying to figure out my expectations and don't want to judge too hastily.
Thoughts and experieces with feature requests / suggestions?

They do, as we have received news about their roadmap and some of the ideas in the Exchange are in it (the one I'm thinking about specifically is better security around assets, including Themes--yea!). As someone who works in the development/solutions side of the business, it gets complicated so I understand that the top rated ideas may not always make it immediately into the next release.
But on a side note, it is also my understanding that the higher the promotion points are, the more likely it will also end up in front of the product managers to consider.
Of course, as anyone in marketing knows , the object is to drive your "customer" to an action... you have to SELL your idea to get it promoted.
I've read many ideas out there that I wonder exactly what the person means or wants because it's so vague. That does not exactly encourage me to promote an idea. (I do semi-regularly surf through them to see if there are any my users that I support would be able to use or need, etc..) You can't just assume that everyone knows what you're talking about--or what the value add is of that particular idea.
And even if ELQ product managers do look through all of the ideas, like any developer, they do also need to see the value add as well.
Just my two cents...

Why is the Real-Time Idea Exchange completely ignored?

Just looked at the LabVIEW Real-Time Idea Exchange and noticed that only one idea is marked completed, and two more (both posted in 2009, nearly 5 years ago) are "In Development." Those ideas aren't even the top-kudoed ones. NI - why ask for ideas for improvements, and then not implement any of them? (Yes, I have a personal interest here - the second-most kudoed idea in the real-time area is one of mine.)

First off let me say thanks to you and all of the Idea Exchange contributors. The whole purpose of the Idea Exchange is for you, the users of the NI Platform, to bring your considerable experience to the table as we continue adding features and functionality to the NI Platform. Your passion is one of the primary forces that causes the NI Platform to grow and change in varous ways so that the application challenges of scientists and engineers all over the world can be solved.
There are many user suggestions across the whole Idea Exchange for us to weigh when considering how to allocate our development resources. We try to judiciously consider which ideas will have the biggest impact on the NI Platform users, and as a result we often have to say "no" or "wait" to some ideas so we can say "yes" to others. You're definitely correct that the statuses need to be updated and I'll be doing so in the near future. Though this may give the impression of being ignored, I want to assure you that the ideas are read and evaluated by the R&D and Product Marketing departments with careful thought and deliberate intent.
We hope that events such as NIWeek bolster your confidence in the progress of the NI Platform as you see the new hardware and software features being introduced. Though you may not see an immeadiate reward for your dilligence in suggesting ideas, please continue submitting your ideas. The long term effect will be a powerful platform of products designed to meet the community's needs. Thank you for your continued support and engagement.

Updated Process for the Ideas Exchange

Hey folks! Spotify Community team here.
If you've been around the Spotify Community for a while, you've probably noticed that we keep tabs on your suggestions for improving Spotify through our Idea Exchange.
In an effort to keep the Idea Exchange as organized and up-to-date as possible, we've changed the way Ideas are submitted. We've outlined the new process with a step-by-step guide below.
We hope that you continue submitting ideas to make Spotify even better. While we can't promise that we'll implement every idea that you submit, but we'll always do our best consider each one and provide updates wherever possible.
The guidelines:
Search for previously submitted ideas. Someone may have already submitted the same idea.
One idea per post. No double dipping.
Ensure the idea is implementable. Avoid posting general feedback or questions in the idea exchange--the more specific the idea the better.
Use an intuitive title.
Submitting a new idea:
1. Go to the Idea Submissions Board.
2. Click the New Idea button.
3. Enter an Idea Subject that includes one of the tags above.
4. In the Body enter a detailed description of your idea, including any screenshots or links you'd like to share.
5. Select one a platform label.
6. Then select a subcategory label.
7. Click Post.
8. One of our Idea Guardians in the Rock Star Program will analyze the idea and mark it either as a "Live Idea" or close it for a specified reason (duplicate idea, unspecified, etc). Allow us to introduce our Idea Guardians: Marco, FredJ, gprocess, Peter, dinomight, Anthony, pnc, Jordi, kbrooksc, Carina, OviiiOne, and Rodrigo.
9. If your idea reaches the Live Idea board it can then start to gain kudos and comments from other users.
10. Once your idea reaches 100+ kudos a Community Manager or Moderator will update the status to one of the following:
The Idea statuses:
New Suggestion (no status/default one): the idea was just posted, it is waiting to be reviewed by an Idea Guardian.
New Idea: this is a new and unique idea, you can add your kudos here.
Inactive Idea: Ideas that could not gather at least 25 kudos per year will get closed - you can submit this idea again if you still feel the topic should get some attention. We recommend changing the title or description if posting the same idea again.
Good Idea, give it some kudos: We like this idea. A decision has not been made but we want to see how much the Community continues to vote on it.
Under Consideration: This has been brought up internally.
Watch this space: This feature is coming. We have a rough pipeline for its release.
Not right now: We talked about this internally and it’s not on our pipeline for the next few months or more.
Case Closed: We talked about it, but we won’t be running with it. Thanks anyway!
Implemented: This feature has rolled out on the specific platform.
Needs more info: We need more clarity or information around this idea from the original poster.
Curious for more information about the Ideas Board? Check out The Ideas Board: How your feedback reaches Spotify.
Thanks for your continued feedback and contributions everyone,
The Spotify Community Team

Ah, yes, now I see it. For those of us with less than perfect vision, how about putting the text in red in the center of the page as opposed to in only slightly darker green to the right. I've never used this page before so I had no idea there even was something to select on the right hand side. Also, the first link in the first post on this page gives me this: "You do not have sufficient privileges for this resource or its parent to perform this action.Click your browser's Back button to continue.Return to my original page"

Change 'Kudos' to 'Votes' on the idea exchange

Sometime I discuss an idea on another platform than the NI forum (Info-LabVIEW, LAVA, real life) and I advise them to vote for a particular idea on the Idea Exchange. For people foreign to the 'Kudos' term it's sounds strange, while calling it 'Votes' makes it more recognizable.
Kudo is a term mainly used on internet and in youth communities, it might be astranging to more serious programmers.

A use case is found here, where David Ferster made his first post in 8 years to give me moral support after I pointed him to the idea on Info-LabVIEW. What he should have done is make a Kudo to the idea, but being new to the community he didn't knew what to do and did the most natural thing people do on a forum: they post.

Support the launch of an NI TestStand Idea Exchange!

Calling all TestStand users!
While I love TestStand, I've got some ideas on how it could be improved, and I'm sure you do too. NI recently launched a new platform for getting and tracking ideas on how to improve thier products called the NI Idea Exchange. If you haven't seen what it's about, see the intro video here and then have a wander through the wildly successful LabVIEW Idea Exchange here.
There's already a LabVIEW Idea Exchange, a LabVIEW RT Idea Exchange and a LabVIEW FPGA Idea Exchange, so why not a TestStand Idea Exchange? Well, setting it up and supporting it takes time and resources, so, we need to let NI know that we think having one is worthwhile. If you're interested in furthering the development of TestStand, you need to let NI know that you're interested in a TestStand Idea Exchange! If the idea of a TestStand Idea Exchange appeals to you, please post here to show your support.

It seems it is impossible to float the "ideas" board, even though the button exists. Is this by design or an oversight?
