Hey weberch,

We are in the process of reviving our search.bigfix.com functionality, which can search all our BigFix forums, wiki pages, etc… Unfortunately, we had a hardware failure that (seemingly randomly) occurred during this migration so the search is down temporarily… We should have that back soon…

Any news on the search? It seems pretty non functional at the moment. I tried a search in the TEM Deployment and Configuration for “clientsettings.cfg” (it is in the title of a post on the initial page of TEM Deployment and Configuration) and all I get back is

developerWorks search results for forums

No search results for " clientsettings.cfg ". You should try a less restrictive search.

Hey folks,

Apparently during the migration, some users seemed to have a mangled configuration… If you are one of these users, problems include:

  • When you login, it still says you are “Guest”
  • When you try to login, things get very slow (like many seconds or minutes to load a page)
  • Some urls don’t work and give 404 or redirection errors

If you experienced a problem like these, we apologize and are fixing the issue… I will post here when it is resolved…

Sorry,

Ben

How does one ‘Show your posts’ in this new forum? In the old forum, there was a link in the bottom left corner…http://forum.bigfix.com/search.php?action=show_user&user_id=XXXX

Here is some info about the recent migration of the forum (and other systems):

Also, here is some info about some of the recent outages (sorry about those):

The issues with the Forum logins should be resolved now… If you still can’t login (it says “Guest” after you try) or if the forum is very slow to load after you try to login, please email me and we can fix you.

Thanks and sorry for the migration troubles,

Ben

Is there a way to “List All Unread Messages” like on the old forum?

What about editing your message? I can’t seem to do that either.

On the topic of unread messages, I think this forum is way better than PunBB…

What I did was “mark all threads read” and then whenever I login, it has a little orange ball next to what I haven’t read yet… Pretty convenient…

Still working on our search problem… But our old search appliance is indexing our forums (and I think it is a better search mechanism anyway): http://search.bigfix.com

I am having issues with the search too. Cant search within a category. Is this by Design? Is there any way to just search in the TEM forum only?

We’re asking around about it, does seem broken (or just turned off or not indexed?)… however, there is very nice workaround.

Go to search.bigfix.com and pick the Forum as a search target. It will search the new developerWorks forum.
