See Here Source Here. Of course these could all be fakes...

I blogged recently about some great NI content. I watched some of those webinars. I also received a phone call a few days later from an NI sales person asking if I needed any help since I watched the webinar. Is it just me or is this practice down right annoying as hell. It really makes me NOT want to click on any NI content. This is not the first time this has happened. Anyone else annoyed at this? PS. I wouldn't mind an email as much, but a phone call is over my limit.

Can someone please create a wiki page (like we did for the tutorials) that lists all the decent LabVIEW books out there?

I agree this is a good idea however I'm planning a more extensive redesign of the file download page and will hold-off changes until then.

From the help (LV851): QUOTE Can someone elaborate a bit more on this? I mean what if I'm not using dynamic dispatch. How does the Mark As Modifier help or hinder me with standard code? I don't really get the point of this option.

This should be fixed now, sorry. Please confirm.

A bundle can give this for you. I know you don't want this but hey.

QUOTE (Yen @ Jun 1 2008, 12:26 PM) I don't get it.

I don't have an answer for you but as the Forum admin, I want to say: DON'T CROSS POST!.

QUOTE (Yen @ Jun 1 2008, 08:47 AM) Well, I guess the answer is: Don't tag. It's not for everyone. Just like editing the http://wiki.lavag.org/' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">LabVIEW Wiki isn't for everyone. On the other hand, there are some built-in features to make it easier. When you start typing in the field it searches similer tags and lists them below the field so you can pick tags already used. There is also another mode that the tag system can operate in. The Admin (me) can define preset tags so the user (you) can just pick from a list. I think this is less usefull since the point of tagging is to let the words flow from the community. One recommendation I have is to keep the tags simple. This of course requires you to pause and think a bit. There are some tags that are easy, such as using the word Beer. I suggest you start with those. PS: The tag system seems to still be in Beta mode. It seems to work some of the time... Like I said earlier, Working on it. PSS: Don't use the complete title of your post as a tag.

QUOTE (Yen @ May 31 2008, 12:26 PM) There isn't an option for this but I could make it less distracting by changing the font size and colors.

QUOTE (Yen @ May 31 2008, 12:07 PM) "They" fixed it! All the problematic links are fixed now.

QUOTE (neB @ May 30 2008, 10:44 AM) QUOTE (tcplomp @ May 30 2008, 11:23 AM) I got a 'The tag you submitted is not allowed'. Editing an existing tag is allowed (see your question about no-one tagging) Ton Hmm. It's intermittent, it seems to work sometimes. Looking into it.

QUOTE (Michael_Aivaliotis @ May 30 2008, 10:10 AM) Awesome! Thanks. Edit: I've reported these issues to our technical staff and they are working on it

One comment I have is please try to avoid using the word LabVIEW in your tag since all of LAVA is about LabVIEW. I also see tagging as a way to categorize things beyond the standard LAVA categories. For example, one use-case is to tag all the posts that have code downloads then it would be easier to find some code you've seen here. BTW, how come no-one is tagging?

Ok, so some of you may have noticed the tagging feature on LAVA. With very little explanation, I'm going to let everyone play with it and let me know what you think. If you're concerned about the style or look of it, don't worry, I can change that later. I just want to see if it is usefull and functional right now. We can play with the look later. This tagging feature is available to everyone for now during the testing phase. It hasn't been decided if it will be a Premium Members only feature. Edit: OK, so I'm seeing some issues already with this tagging feature. If you tag a post, it doesn't show up globally in the top of the topic. Apparently you Have 3 types of tags: Forum (tag a whole forum), Topic Thread or individual post. Also discovered that the Global Tag Cloud is located here.

Just finished upgrading various parts of LAVA to the latest stable releases. Upgraded the main forums to 2.3.5 from 2.3.4 A list of all the changes and bug fixes is listed here. New Features: My Blog and My Album links in profile dropdowns Ability to change the form action url for upload forms (useful for load-balancing setups) About Me/Signature tab in profiles Numerous bug fixes Upgraded the blogs to 1.4.0 from 1.3.3. A list of all the changes is listed here. You will already notice the new look of the blog pages and list. From the backend, you can now add several cool modules such as My Google Reader shared items, My Digg items etc. Hopefully these new features will prompt some to come forth and start blogging. All Premium Members have access to creating a LAVA hosted blog. New Features New Default Style Themes and Custom Headers Content Block Plugin System Social Bookmarks Media Integration Akismet Integration Feedburner Integration Other Changes: Edit Entry Date Display article count for categories Blog Offline Mode Entry author replies in comments are now highlighted Admins can select a 'Featured Entry' to be displayed on the blog listing Upgraded the Gallery from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3. A list of all the bug fixes is listed here. Upgraded the community SEO module from 1.2.0 to 1.2.2. These fixes and changes should not be noticeable by anyone except me. This handles converting ugly URLs to search engine friendly URLs.
