The Alpha Software Forum Participation Guidelines
The Alpha Software Forum is a free forum created for Alpha Software Developer Community to ask for help, exchange ideas, and share solutions. Alpha Software strives to create an environment where all members of the community can feel safe to participate. In order to ensure the Alpha Software Forum is a place where all feel welcome, forum participants are expected to behave as follows:
Be sure all comments and threads you post are respectful. Posts that contain any of the following content will be considered a violation of your agreement as a member of the Alpha Software Forum Community and will be moderated:
If a thread or post is found to contain any of the content outlined above, a moderator may choose to take one of the following actions:
Moderators may also rename posts and threads if they are too generic or do not property reflect the content.
Moderators may move threads if they have been posted in the incorrect forum.
Threads/Posts questioning specific moderator decisions or actions (such as "why was a user banned?") are not allowed and will be removed.
The owners of Alpha Software Corporation (Forum Owner) reserve the right to remove, edit, move, or close any thread for any reason; or ban any forum member without notice, reason, or explanation.
Community members are encouraged to click the "Report Post" icon in the lower left of a given post if they feel the post is in violation of the rules. This will alert the Moderators to take a look.
Alpha Software Corporation may amend the guidelines from time to time and may also vary the procedures it sets out where appropriate in a particular case. Your agreement to comply with the guidelines will be deemed agreement to any changes to it.
Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting
Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.
When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.
The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.
When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.
A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.
If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.
When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.
Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.
- Be professional in your conduct
- Be kind to others
- Be constructive when giving feedback
- Be open to new ideas and suggestions
- Stay on topic
Be sure all comments and threads you post are respectful. Posts that contain any of the following content will be considered a violation of your agreement as a member of the Alpha Software Forum Community and will be moderated:
- Spam.
- Vulgar language.
- Quotes from private conversations without permission, including pricing and other sales related discussions.
- Personal attacks, insults, or subtle put-downs.
- Harassment, bullying, threatening, mocking, shaming, or deriding anyone.
- Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or otherwise discriminatory jokes and language.
- Sexually explicit or violent material, links, or language.
- Pirated, hacked, or copyright-infringing material.
- Encouraging of others to engage in the above behaviors.
If a thread or post is found to contain any of the content outlined above, a moderator may choose to take one of the following actions:
- Remove the Post or Thread - the content is removed from the forum.
- Place the User in Moderation - all posts and new threads must be approved by a moderator before they are posted.
- Temporarily Ban the User - user is banned from forum for a period of time.
- Permanently Ban the User - user is permanently banned from the forum.
Moderators may also rename posts and threads if they are too generic or do not property reflect the content.
Moderators may move threads if they have been posted in the incorrect forum.
Threads/Posts questioning specific moderator decisions or actions (such as "why was a user banned?") are not allowed and will be removed.

Re: Global Warming?
RE:Steve Andrews;521490 Climate did not change much if any from 1700 to 1900 when you look at the history as recorded by tree rings and layers of ice.
True, I was referring to the Middle Ages. b4 1700 as the warming period. Just b4 computers were invented.

Insisting that the climate can be predicted 10-20-60+ years out is beyond preposterous, or the pinnacle of inflated arrogance.
While it may be absurd to predict weather 20 or 60 years from now, it is fully reasonably to predict average climates based on 50-year trends of data. Surely, specific peaks and valleys cannot be predicted. But long-term averages can be.
As Cal pointed out, maybe the scientists are not the best when it comes to marketing and politics. But that's not their goal and I don't think it should be.

Re: Global Warming?
After I posted that I realized it was a mistake. I was simply stating a fact about the marketing of "Global Warming". I haven't been convinced one way or the other about how big of an issue it will be or how much has been caused by man. I believe man has had an affect but I don't know how much. I try to remain open minded. (I also watch both Fox and MSNBC - I wonder how many others can say that.)
Enough politics - this isn't the place and I shouldn't have let myself get sucked into it.

The midwest "dust-bowl" drought of the 1930's has yet to recur and destroyed millions of acres of crop land for years after.
In summer '80 we had 13 consecutive days above 110f. No such thing has happened since.
This winter will maybe beat the long deep freeze of 1982-3 where thousands of water pipes blew out inside exterior walls of new & old homes alike. The temp stayed below 20f for 8 days with lows near 8f
80 broke all records for heat/drought here.
82-83 broke all records for cold here.
Those records still stand.
We have great minds which however can be drawfed by egos and insatiable desire for power over others since "we know best" what is good for others.
"Crisis" used to mean what the dictionary says. But, now means "don't dare scrutinize", "we must give up libery" and "raise taxation levels".
Scientists have become hucksters for politicions for securing grant money.Last edited by SMARTII; 01-08-2010, 03:03 PM.

So let's hope that you are not indeed seeing the first of the supposed ice age triggered by global warming.

:DHowever, we did have a nice little earthquake just now (4.2). Being so unpredictable, they trump any discomfort from nasty cold weather.
