Just to close off this topic in case someone stumbles upon it. All LabVIEW tips and tricks will be now handled through the Tips and Tricks Wiki page.

Ya, it seems they've locked it down too much. On the other hand, I think this prevent newbies from shooting themselves in the foot.

You can still hide the name if you edit the cluster, replace the text box with a classic control, shrink it down to a 1x1 pixel stub and slide it under the scaling buttons.

Is LAVA trying to tell me something?

happy birthday Norm!

Sorry, wasn't aware that this is still a bug. I thought it was resolved along with the others. I will look into it.

You can use a combo box control.

Congrats! No need to apologize. This is right on topic to the forum you posted it in. :thumbup:

This is now resolved.

Yes, you are right. This must be one of the meanest pranks NI has played on us. "Hey look, I can assign shortcut keys"... "oh, wait, they're gone" HaHaHa, fooled ya suckas!

I'm on it!!

Unfortunately, there is no way to assign a keyboard shortcut to a dynamically added menu-item (e.g., those menu options that appear because you add a menu-launch VI to the wizard, project, or help folder). I tried filing this as a bug during a beta, a while back, but it was rejected Maybe I should try re-submitting it as a feature request.

Sun of a gun. I just checked... You CAN assign a shortcut key. :thumbup:

Would be perfect if it had a keyboard shortcut.

Just want to let you all know that I've been fine tuning the LAVA Search page so that it returns more accurate and relevant results. I hope you can confirm this. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I know there are still people out there that want more, but this is all I can do for now. Please note that the search form on the LAVA site is NOT the same as the generic Google search form with the site:lavag.org modifier. It is better because it is scoped with a back end exclusion\inclusion list which allows me to narrow the results to real and useful content.

This post reminded me that we still don't have a good repository of tips and tricks. So... I decide to create one on the Wiki. Our initial goal should be to weed through this thread and pull out the gems from there. Eventually that thread will redirect to the article. I've already started by adding the first tip. I think this will be awesome and should be a good article to point to for newbies or all of us in general.

Attention all church of LAVA worshipers. The LAVA site has now been cleansed of the evil daemon. Please continue practicing your normal rituals.

This is where we pass the collection plate around...

I've one new question related to the upgrade process. Is it the intention that us Premium Members also see new kind of google ads on the bottom of the frames of each post in a thread first page?

No, Premium Members should not see any Google ads. You probably caught it as I was editing. Please check again.

Just so y'all know, I already have my peeps working on all the reported bugs\issues. I will report back when all is fixed.

PS. RSS rocks!

I screwed up my project with this feature so I think I should warn everyone. I'll be reporting to NI soon. Steps to reproduce:

1. open a blank project
   
2. Create and save 2 blank VI's
   
3. Place them in the following locations:
   

   
   

   
   

4. Right click on the subfolder and select "move on disk"
   

   
   

5. Create a new folder next to the subfolder, navigate into it and select "current folder"
   

   
   

6. Watch LabVIEW go "bye bye"
   

   
   

The fun part is going back into your files on the hard drive and seeing the mess. I spent a while cleaning this up after i did it on a real project.

Didn't you read http://forums.lavag.org/How-to-Quote-multiple-posts-t2780.html' target="_blank">the tutorial?

This is not a bug.

The initial upgrades are complete. Thank you for your patience. There are some minor glitches but all will be fixed over time.

Upgraded the forums to the latest release: Mostly bug fixes and theme\skin\style changes.

Upgraded the Gallery to the latest release: Some usability improvements. The noticable changes are a nicer quicker photostrip scrolling, now images popup in a thickbox when clicking the image to enlarge it and there are convenient URL boxes to the right of the image when you need to insert on another website or places where image attachments aren't allowed.

Also, I think you can now upload a zip file with multiple images and they will be decompressed and added to the gallery automatically.

There is also better navigation between currently viewed images:

Everyone, the LAVA Forums will be going through upgrades, fixes, tweaks and a face lift. So please please please be patient as I work through this. The consequence will be that the forums and the other areas of the site will be mostly offline for Sept. 8 and 9 this weekend. The site may not be down for the entire weekend but there are no guarantees. In other words, you can try visiting the site at various times because you might get lucky and the upgrades may be done.
