I was surprised with a message about a new forum for Fort ran compilers when I tried to respond to a post in the original forum. I hope the new one is truly better.
At one time someone stated that all the messages from the original forum would be copied over to the new one. Is that still true? I can't see any messages in the new one.
The announcement message about the new forum stated that the original one would shut down on December 7. Are we unable to continue posting to the discussion threads from the original forum?
I noticed that you now have to specify a version to post a message in the new forum. Should we agree on the format to use up front so that readers can find what they want? Does someone from Compaq want to take the lead and set those up?
Is there anything in general we should know about the new forum?

Here are my forum observations....
How do I search? Is CTRL-F the only way?
Okay, I see "Message Search". Never mind.
Why do the replies to the original post (dated 12/3/00) have an earlier date (11/28/00)? Did Mike edit his post?
Speaking of editing posts, it'd be nice if we could.
Please oh please may I have NNTP implemented!?!
Maybe once we have a President here in the United States, we can turn our attention to this.
I wonder, does HTML work?. [snip]
Here's a "real" test:
Sorry about the stupid questions.

I just noticed - the software is attaching the date of the most recent reply to the "base entry". Bad....
There is a "Message Search" button at the top of every page.

Hmm - I just noticed that the forum is now sorted so that topics with recent replies show up first. That's good, but it looks as if the way it was done was to adjust the date of the base entry. Progress, I guess. I'll see what else is going on here.

I have been trying to post a reply to the "dialog control invisible" thread.
I have got a copy of an old discussion, but I just don't get through. Only two line sentences seem to be accepted. I noticed that other users had the same problem before.

I don't understand what you mean by "two line sentences". I haven't encountered a size limit. Have you tried attaching the saved discussion as a text file?

"Two line sentences is an exaggeration" I am sorry.
I have tried to post the complete discussion several times using copy/paste. This seems to give problems. I now stripped the discussion and posted only part as a reply to the thread.

Steve, I thought you knew about the problem of posting long messages.
John & I both had problems replying to "Tool bars in Fort ran WinApps".
The reply eventually did appear.

Is my browser (IE4.72.3612.1713) broken, or is there really no way to tell which messages/replies I have seen before? Like, with a color change, maybe?
My feeble memory is already getting a workout with fewer than 50 topics; I shudder to think what it'll be like in another month. (Of course, I guess too much and searchable is a lot better than the terrible system there was before.)
More martyr points for Steve!
God bless!

Compaq has decided to disable the feature that would let you know which messages were new. I continue to fight this. They did, at least, change it so that new messages (and threads with new replies), bubble to the top of the list, so it's easier to see what has changed since you were last in.
There is no length limit on posts. What there is is a "filter" that holds messages with certain content to be reviewed by moderators. Other than the content you might expect it to look for (naughty words), it also traps strings of digits that it thinks might be phone numbers. This is what stopped John's postings. I believe I have found a way to disable the phone number filter for this forum - we shall see...

1) PLEASE get "Them" to turn on the I've-already-seen-that switch. How can "They" rationalize leaving that turned off?
2) PLEASE tree the responses so that there is some semblance of order to this forum.
3) PLEASE let Replies be directed to a particular message rather than all of them going to the "original".
This thing is really frustrating!
anyway ... Happy Christmas, Steve and all...
God bless!

Well, I turned on threading. Let's see if it does anything...
Hmm, doesn't appear to have. But something else is happening... I hope I can figure out what, because it looks like something good.

Threading may be turned on, but I have no idea what you saw that "looks like something good" -- exactly the same as before, except now it takes a lot longer to load (which might, of course, be associated with everyone here trying to access their favorite lunchtime sites).
Thanks for your as-usual speedy attention, Steve.
God bless!
