It's OK Theo, we sorted it out last week!

Your best bet there is probably to zip compress the file.

That should make it possible to pass any type file in, I think? (Haven't tried it, but I've used the trick before on other websites.)

However, I would like to see fm and mif allowed in the attachment list.

Why not request all of the Adobe file formats?

From the FAQ:

Do widgets like "more like this" and "popular discussions" and "top participants" exact any performance hit when they are being figured out and displayed?

Reply from Jive Software:

 

No. In fact these do the exact opposite. If anything, they would be improving performance in the system.

I don't get that. Maybe they don't make things worse, but I don't see how they could be improving performance/speed. I'd still  like to see them gone.

Also, for me in FF 3.0.10 Windows with all customizations off, the page does not jump to the linked message[1] until after they appear - as you said - after the main page has rendered. I am not sure if this is due to waiting for the JavaScript or due to waiting for the images to arrive from wwwimages.adobe.com. It feels like the latter to me. But then, some of those images are used in the silver nav bar (Your Stuff, History, etc.) and those render far earlier than the boxes in the side bar.

And who but company marketing types or bean counters would ever want to know who the Top Participants are? Can't that data be restricted to specific access levels or user types - say, employee? I just can't imagine a case where a U2U...uh... user would find that information helpful.

[1] By linked message, I am referring to following a specific message link rather than clicking on a thread subject link. ie: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1968237#1968237

I'm not surprised, seeing that you hijacked this totally unrelated thread too.

Thank you John & Kath... now I see the buttons to click. I'm sure they were not there earlier as they are so obvious to me now.

Why am I getting these Emails. I never said I wanted to be contacted, unless

there is another wnorm.

I would like to see an answer to how I can get the spell checker to work using English, rather than insisting on using the USA version. I am fed up with seeing the correct spelling of colour shown as incorrect....

Good grief, Peter!

Thank you for pointing that out. Along with the the "set region" that ADOBE says "Check this box, and we will remember your region and language the next time you visit Adobe.com" I note that this defaults back to USA every time I return. Is this just me?

YES! Who cares if you're allowed, do it!!!

 

Working on it, I just need Jive to provide one more piece of

documentation (or a bugfix for all the ForumService methods that use a

ResultFilter).

You don't need to... the Adobe forums have this special, unique, never-before-seen-system that automatically signs you out. Even when you're logged in...

Jive: Goodbye Clearspace, Hello Social Business Software

http://siliconflorist.com/2009/03/09/jive-goodbye-clearspace-hello-soc ial-business-software/

Jive CEO Dave Hersh describes this new offering as the first new application category in business since CRM:

    For our customers, SBS is the new enterprise category. The enterprise has been devoid of a new application category since CRM, and they see the advent of social software as the biggest change to happen to the enterprise in fifteen years. It’s now spanning every major vertical and the visionary leaders are seeing the gains that can be made by opening up collaboration and focusing on the people. This is especially true in a downturn, where throwing more money at business process software is not going to lead to huge value increases — you have to look to the areas where there is the most to gain, the white spaces in a company: the people.

everyone got that?

holy smokes i haven't read such a glaring example of business-techno-buzzword-babble in a long time! whee!

are we having fun yet?

Hmm. Because...having your employees chat and spend quality social time together instead of working produces results? What the heck are they talking about?

Sad!
