  • Andrew, who managed much of this technological transformation, says the "November 1999" date is only temporary. By Friday (or next Monday, 3/9/02, at the latest), he hopes to have your original signup dates correctly "importing" to this site from th…
  • Paul, if it would make you feel better, I could delete one of your other messages. Just kidding! We appreciate everyone's help in keeping the Forum friendly, helpful, and informative. tk
  • Good morning, Nothing was deleted. A post that had nothing to do with "Using the Employers Forum" was MOVED to another, more appropriate area where it would get more views. Unfortunately, when a message is moved out of the Using the Forum section, …
  • NeedCoffee, Regarding the problem we're still having today with the new server, Jim Robb says he has figured out how to restore the missing posts and is doing so as we speak. On the question of why they're disappearing in the first place, well, that…
  • I was right. It was the new server. Caped Computer Crusader Jim Robb has arrived on the scene, punched a few buttons, and saved the day. Some of your messages and replies have been restored, but maybe not all of them. If you still don't see somethin…
  • HRQ, thanks for the heads up. I'm guessing that his has something to do with a new server that our computer staff installed over the weekend. I hope to know more soon. Sorry for the inconvenience! tk Tony Kessler (615) 661-0249 x 8068
  • Give Jim Robb, our tech guru, all the credit xclap
  • Sometimes when we move a thread from the "How to Use the Employers Forum" area to a more appropriate, more well-traveled section so it can get more views, our system leaves part of the posting behind. At that point, you will indeed see basically an …
  • HRQ, you're correct. We've never used the folder/lock icon with this subscribers' Forum. In contrast, we do use it for the The Office blog ("That's What She Said") on HRheroblogs.com because that one is open to the world. We need the folder/lock "de…
  • Here's another possible solution to the missing-new- post mystery! When someone, for example, posts an ADA question in the "How to Use the Forum" area, your computer will tell you there is a new post in that area. Suppose a civic-minded Forum Monito…
  • Hello again, sorry to be so long in responding, but we've been trying to figure out what caused the missing thread to disappear. I was incorrect earlier when I suggested that the poster might have deleted it. That is still impossible. My bad. As Pau…
  • Greetings to all, and thanks for not jumping to conclusions about the missing thread. I remember seeing it, too. And to confirm what Wendi said, we didn't delete it. If the poster deleted it because of the misspelling, I hope he or she will return s…
  • Buffalo Springfield? Also, was it "goin' down" instead of "goin' round"? tk
  • Nae, the next update should occur sometime in July. After that, you should see a new quiz every couple of months. tk

  • Whatever, As you say, we do have the right to edit the threads but absolutely, positively don't enjoy doing it. In this instance, we probably let the bashing go on longer than we should have, thinking that people would eventually accept Java's expla…
  • bsa, I checked with our tech experts this morning and confirmed that there's no way to mark individual topics. You can only mark all or mark individual conferences. Sorry about that. To help you get caught up, maybe someone can recommend an online F…
  • Scorpio, not to worry, receiving the Daily Digest is not a lifetime commitment. You can sign off of receiving them just as easily as you can sign on. (Popeye may have been thinking about the Forum function that allows you to click a box and receive …
  • safety, sorry to report that there's no way to view private messages once they're sent. tk
  • Mentel, according to a previous thread on the same topic, the Daily Digest is "a summary of all the posts made the day before. It doesn't actually say what was posted, just the title of the post and what section it was posted under." tk
  • offadmin, click on the "Help" icon at the top of the Employers Forum lobby. Then click on "Special Forum Features." The next link you'll see is "How Do I Use Those Smiley Icons?" Have fun. tk

  • Sonny, Thanks for asking. In figuring out what went wrong, I just learned something new about the Forum. To remedy the situation, go back onto the Conference board that's showing everything in alphabetical order and click on "Date/Time." That should…
  • HRQ, If the total number of replies to a topic equals eight or more, then it's considered a "hot topic." To signify that, the topic displays a flame. For more helpful guidance about this discussion board, you may want to check out the FAQ section. Y…
  • Parabeagle, Thanks for the suggestion. When the two newsletters were merged, we carried over a lot of the regular features. We were fortunate that Joe Beachboard, who owned and ran the Labor Letter, became the editor of California Employment Law Let…
  • In regard to HRCalico's post from several years ago, a marketing person for the recipe magazine today let us know that the name has changed from "Light & Tasty" to "Healthy Cooking." tk
  • Frank, glad I beat you to the punch. My next choice would have been "ACU Tony." tk
  • Skoshi, that should just about do it. NBC just finished taping and is packing up its cameras. Have a nice Labor Day weekend. tk
  • What a coincidence that this thread would start today! Turns out, NBC is here at our offices filming a future episode of America's Toughest Jobs. The contestants are all trying their hand at -- you guessed it -- Forum monitoring! The producers tell …
  • At least we didn't recall your HR Hero pants. tk
  • Please behave yourself, Frank. tk
  • Both the NY Times and the Chicago Tribune have sent bulletins saying Tiger is going to have reconstructive knee surgery and be out for the rest of the year. That makes last weekend's accomplishments even more remarkable. tk
