Also this is labeled incorrectly.  These are existing friends not requests.

Sorry I'm just getting back to this.  Your $EXTRACT solution works great, but why did you choose 490?  I did a quick test with 600 and it still seems to work.  What is the maximum?  or is it dependent upon the processor?

Scott Beeson · Feb 25, 2016 go to post

I don't understand so I'll just leave it at 490 for now :)

And yes, there are still long values (this is a log so they won't go away).  I found other fields besides Criteria too.

For the record, the following did work once Stefan Wittmann pointed out I could strip it out of your code :)

select COLUMN_NAME from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_SCHEMA = 'HS_IHE_ATNA_Repository' and TABLE_NAME = 'Aggregation'

It looks like an attempt was made on this?  Replies now have the banner on the left side of the FAVORITE button, but the original post still has it on the right.  There are still many other inconsistencies as well.

It would take 30 seconds to make this decision and 10 seconds to make the change. :)

Looks like the decision was made.  When creating a new topic the button now says "SAVE"

In this screenshot from 2 days ago I'm at 55 but now after making a few posts I'm at 50.  Is this like Golf? :)

"Why re-invent the wheel?"

Because we'd still be using stone or wood :)

I'm trying to be fair but I've just never seen a Drupal implementation go well and this one seems to be a bit rough too.  It is definitely getting there.

Oddly, I hate Java and that was my biggest complaint and headache with JIRA and Confluence :)

I agree that Confluence is (currently) an "Enterprise collaboration and wiki platform" but it is evolving, and with some of the very high-quality addons available I think it could have been a good fit for this community.  For instance, there is a very good Question & Answer addon.  

I just sincerely think Confluence is a superior product and though it may not have been the ideal fit I feel like it would have taken less effort to get it to a better point already.  

That's not to say that I think this is or will be a failure.  As I've said, it's progressing nicely and I'm confident it will be usable and valuable.  I was just curious as to why Drupal was chosen.

And just one more comment.  I see Drupal much like Sharepoint.  A very solid platform that became a victim of its own success...

According to this question dated a year after that article (4 years ago), the user interface is custom built but serves data via JSON that is hosted on "a CMS".

Just so everyone else knows, Paul Gomez contacted me via email and they are looking at this.  Fingers crossed for next release! :)

So first off, I think Dmitry deserved to win, but I do have a question.

In this post, dated Feb 19th, I had 55 points.  On the 26th I posted asking about it and my score was at 50.  4 days later and my final score is still 50 (after a lot more posts).  

What's the deal?

edit: Just realized that posts to the Developer Community Feedback forum didn't count, which explains why my points didn't go up.  But it still doesn't explain why they went down.  :)

That's the thing, the goal isn't to extract information.  I guess technically I am extracting information to make a determination, but I'm either sending the entire document or nothing.

"MAX(PostDate, LastCommentDate) DESC"

I think this might be the problem, or the source of my confusion/misunderstanding in the other topic.  I did a quick example in Excel.  As you can see, the post with the most recent comment is still at the bottom.  I think the expectation of most users is that the posts with the most recent activity would be at the top of the list.

Feel free to correct me if I'm missing something.

As a user this is not useful at all, sorry.

All I care about is seeing active, relevant content and other people seeing mine.

If I reply to a post from 3 weeks ago, unless someone is subscribed to that post or specifically searches for it nobody will ever see my reply.  This is a problem.

Edit: If the main goal here is a question & answer site and not a forum, then ignore everything I just said.  But so far, this is definitely giving more of a forum/discussion vibe.  Personally, I think they should be separate.  Paul mentioned having "Questions" and "Articles".  How about a third type; "discussion"?  Each type/category should and could have its own default sort behavior.
