Maybe this isn't exactly "news", but I couldn't find a better topic in which to relate this.

Just recently, while I was attempting to change the font on my signature to a recent post, I noticed that many of the post menu features do not work.  Not only do they not work (at least for me), they actually will freeze up the post* all together, requiring me to have to rewrite the entire post.  I actually had to rewrite my last post 4 or 5 times (I lost count), while attempting to use such features as:  text color (when selecting "more colors"), insert picture, paste text, (hyper)link, etc.  (*I was only able to change to bold and italic font by using short-cut keys.)   It seems that there are many other functionalities that are dysfunctional:   Anchor properties, table properties, insert smiley, insert special character, etc.  Basically, it appears to apply to any button that results in a pop-up box, since the pop-up box will just be blank with a header of what it was supposed to be able to do, and an 'x' in the corner to close out the window, which itself, also does not work.  We are using Internet Explorer 9, so I don't see why that would be a problem.

Here's how to illustrate an iMIS Community post; I'm not sure if it's noted elsewhere.

First, create your new post.  Scroll to the bottom and click "File attachments", which expands to show a file path entry field and Browse and Attach buttons.  Click Browse, find the image you want, and click Attach.  After the file is uploaded, under the Description there's a URL string in very small font.  Copy the URL, then in the editor toolbar, click the Insert/Edit image icon (next to the Anchor).  In the popup, paste in the URL, then tab out of the field; if all is well, you'll see your picture in the preview.  Click OK.

In developing content for this forum I noticed that the release/versions stop at 10.6.

Can we please get i15+ listed in here?

thank you.

We are upgrading from 10.6 to 15.03 and in our test environment we are trying to reproduce a report that shows us our staff users.

In 10.6 all users were in the USERS table, so the report was simply a list of active users in that table. In 15 users are now in the USERS table and in the USERMAIN table (and evidently in other tables as well), but we do not see how to get a count of casual vs full users. Also the USERMAIN contains users who are no longer iMIS users but do log into the web. Has anyone figured this out?

I tried to put an HTML version of the CSS Guide on iMIS Community, to make access easier and be more consistent with the other standards, and ran into two problems:

1. The <th> tag is not allowed.
2. I cannot use the <style> tag to include embedded styles at the beginning of the document.

Are there easy ways around either of these?

Is there a way to disable notification temporarily for a part of the community, preferably with one notice being sent when it is turned back on?

This would be very useful at times when a lot of editing is going on, such as with the Terminology Standards or Design Patterns, where there are lots of subtopics to one topic. Also, it would help when

• you need to repeatedly edit somet

On a number of occasions, I have found that my entries to iC were truncated when I posted or previewed them. I have been meaning to post about this, and kept putting it off. Today it happened twice, and after the first time, I started copying to the clipboard before I submitted. As a result, the second instance allowed me to document what was in the edit box before and after I clicked "Preview." Furthermore, observing the two instances, I think it may be due to using the Google spell checker. Also, switching between normal and rich-text mode may have something to do with it.

I've noticed this site is becoming unwieldy. Sorting forums within the site by recent posts looks at the number, not the control factor (e.g. 1 Year sorts before 12 Minutes). Plus there are so many forum topics popping up that are all getting posted under one major heading, like "Emerging Technologies" that it takes more time to find anything than it does to read it.

 Can you look into correcting the columnar sort to actually sort by minute? Another really good feature would be to allow at least an Advanced search to seach based on date range (if input). For example, search for "iMIS 15" and your get tons of forum topics most are very old and involve the Beta releases. It would be great to be able to search for "iMIS 15" where new posts "within 90 days"

Could we add .docx files (created by Word 2007) to the list of types that can be attached to iMIS Community posts?

Mark B. mentioned this at our Dev staff meeting. 

I recently ran across a very useful tool "WyaWidget - Widget Creator" that allows you to create a widget and place it onto your Google Personalized Homepage (Also, Netvibes & Pageflakes). I'm sure there are other tools out there that are similar but this one caught my attention because it is completely web-based and simple, some of the interface is a bit rough but it is totally usable. Not only can you build a quick widget directly from you Google homepage but they also have a web based tool that allows you to build web apps, modify any you created through Google and also change your data schema ( Similar to BOA ).
