RE: thread by subject not metadata please

we have a social forum where you can try it, no one will notice there. http://n4.nabble.com/DBA-Social-list-f252169.html

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

Let me give you a more detailed explanation. Your mailing list server (mailman) adds the "DBA:" prefix to all messages sent to the list. Even if the message doesn't have the prefix (which is normal when someone starts a new topic), mailman will add the prefix to its subject and send the message to all subscribers. So the idea is to have Nabble remove this prefix from subjects before saving the posts in our database. If someone replies to a post on Nabble, mailman will fix the subject again and all subscribers will see the prefix in the subject. In other words, it doesn't matter what Nabble does, all subscribers will see the prefix. I just want to remove it from our database so that threading can always work by subject.

This list doesn't have a prefix, does it?

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

well this is strange, it does append DBAS: but none of the archives have it. Have just sent a test

David Beaumont

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

just sent one by email to the social list, dba appended and replioed by Nabble, DBAS kept. I remain confused and nervous - some users complained aftyer hte migration problems. Please try anything out on the social list before on one of our main lists.

Hugo <Nabble>

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

I just changed the social list to ignore the "DBAS:". You can make another test and see if it works. It didn't work in your first test because the prefix was not configured. It should work now.

In reply to this post by David Beaumont

Hi David, I saw your tests on the social list. As you could see, the archived messages don't have the "DBAS:" prefix and look cleaner. But the good news is that this prefix was sent to all subscribers. Please let me know what you think.

David Beaumont

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

I think it seems to work fine. Bob please let Hugo know when he can go ahead and take the prefix off the Nav list archives, then we can do the main list if no one complains.

Thanks

David

Hi Hugo,

It seems I mistook David's intention and I should have written directly to you on this matter. Sorry for the resultant delay.

Please will you do the same modification you did to the DBA Social list to the DBA Cruising/Navigation List so we may avoid the problem of threads being broken when replies to Nabble posts are made by e-mail.

Best wishes,

Bob

David,

Yes, I did receive yours of the 7th Dec and replied, copy below. Perhaps I should have included Hugo in the To: field rather than Copy:

Should I write directly to Hugo requesting he actions this?

I think the Social list test has proved very useful, if a little frustrating with some of the content. Please go ahead with the change to the Nav list/forum.

While I am at it, may I ask for the Social List to be added to the names of fora across the top of www.bargeforum.org (and Association Matters too when that happens). May I further ask if it is possible to have all five in distinctly different colours and for these colours to be replicated in the Sub-Forum list at the right of every entry please.

Ok. David, I changed the navigation list and now threading should work. Please let me know when I can apply a similar change to the main list. Regards, Hugo Teixeira.

Hi Julian are you happy to let Hugo remove the DBA prefix from the forum? Seemed to work well on the Nav list. If so just let Hugo know.

Thanks I’ve asked ian if he did anything unusual, possibly he added it or perhaps he uses the newsgroup interface.

Hi David,

Not sure it is working well on the Nav list. I've counted at least four threads which have been split since my "Test - Please ignores" of 14th January. I wrote to Hugo on the 21st Jan:

Hi Hugo,

I wonder if you can put a reason on why <http://n4.nabble.com/Re-DBAc-Mech-td1049726.html#a1049726> should have split from <http://n4.nabble.com/Mech-td1049701.html#a1049701> on the DBA Cruising/Navigation List/Forum please. Clearly we were hoping the recent change you made would have eliminated this kind of thing happening.

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

Hi David, the problem described by Bob Marsland was fixed and won't bother again (the Mech thread was fixed, see it here). The Navigation list will continue to archive posts correctly. Please let me know when you are ready to also change the main list.
