PC-DMIS Enhancements via Google Moderator

Have any of you ever used Google Moderator? Google Moderator

I'm considering starting one for forum users for PC-DMIS enhancements. Thoughts?

It wouldn't be "official", it'd be something I use to help forum users vote on their most requested enhancement.

It's just an idea based off of the many requests I get.

thanks.

  • The alt problem does not happen in testing. We are trying to reproduce it. Anyone willing to capture a debug from when it happens and send to me, I'll give you a prize. I fully believe it has to do with a particular computer setup that we don't have.

    I never said bugs were ok, I was just saying that analogies only work if they are analogous. Labview is not a good comparison.

    Feedback for bugs still has to be logged into technical support, I am working on ideas for systems for customer bug reporting, but the problem I have currently is that the amount of data needed to reproduce an issue (OS, computer info, software versions, steps to reproduce, debug files, etc) is daunting. If I put that system out there, everyone will complain that it's too hard and not use it. That's why we have technical support do it, they can ask you the pertinent questions only, and fill in any blanks for you as well. It is the easy and friendly way for you to get your issue reported. I am also open to suggestions on this front as well. Reporting bugs on a forum is like shouting about government failures on the steps of city hall. There are more effective ways including voting, writing and calling your representatives. Discussion of issues however is totally acceptable as long as they are professional and help others.

    I noticed Jan that your ALT issue went away when you changed computers. Is it possible that the computer was part of the issue? Did you notice anything else about the symptoms or problems? Did you ever talk to technical support about the issue? Just trying to gather some information so I can report it. You can PM me, or do something outside this thread, so we can keep it clean. Thanks!


    So it is OK that Hexagon releases bad code, because they do not ship many seats? You lost me on the logic there. You're the biggest in this industry!

    I realize what you try to accomplish. And this is not a bad idea. However, I am worried that it is another idea that will not get anything accomplished. Maybe more disjointed options that cause problems with code that used to work for years.

    Why not fix the serialization:alt issue, the one that eats programs? This error has been reported since I started posting on this board. These types of issues should be the number one priority. But it is still out there, worse in 2010 than in 4.3. I can not understand why it is acceptable to Hexagon to keep releasing code that has this bug in it.

    I have to admit, I gave up on suggesting new stuff. If I can't get real issues fixed, why worry about getting more features? Get my real issues fixed and then let's talk about adding stuff.
