fetaure request - idetnify read messages by login

David Beaumont
Can nabble show me which messages I have already read, based on my login not on my browser history? Common in other forums.

You are not the first person to request this feature. I remember some users wanted this feature because they used two or more computers and their browser history isn't shared. So they get confused when they switch computers. Is this your case?

RE: fetaure request - idetnify read messages by login

I think it may be an objection in principle to this way of using the browser cache, here is a members response:
 

"But that only applies within the memory of your browser's cache, it

will 'forget' what you have read in many cases:-

If you clear the cache (many people do this every time they log

out, for security).

If you use a different browser, less likely but possible.

If you use a different computer - very likely.

If/when the browser simply runs out of cache space and/or decides

it's time to 'forget'."

More useful perhaps may be the ability to only show unread posts a feature which relying on browser cache cannot achieve.

I guess we will be able to implement this in a few months, after we release templates. This will have to stay low priority for the next months, but will not be forgotten. I will let you know when we are ready to work on this.

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

David Beaumont
In reply to this post by Hugo <Nabble>
Sorry to mail the lot of you, not sure who knows about this issue, Hugo and
Will have both looked at it in the past.

The threading by meta data problem, fixed below in 2007, has returned with
Nabble 2.  See just above
http://n4.nabble.com/DBAc-Rivers-Lot-and-Baise-td584994i20.html#a621478 just
above that post the subject changes completely within the thread. It changes
from "DBAc: Rivers Lot and Baise "  to "DBAc: ICCs - an update "  Members
are replying to an email, changing the subject and sending it, it then gets
threaded in the original subject .  

Is there some way we can resurrect the fix you implemented below so it is
ongoing not just for archive data transfer?

Thanks

David

You are right, David. We will put this code back and have it working just like the old Nabble. I will let you know when this is already working.

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

David Beaumont
In reply to this post by Hugo <Nabble>
In addition to the issue below I'm told that if a topic is started in
Nabble2 and someone replies by email then the reply is not threaded with the
original.  This is a serious problem.  Not noticed it before in Nabble1 so I
assume it is new.

Please can you let me know you are receiving these emails.

Thanks

David

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

David Beaumont
In reply to this post by Hugo <Nabble>
Here is an example:

"The most recent example is with the subject Bank Account in France on Main
Nabble Forum
http://n4.nabble.com/DBA-The-Barge-Association-main-list-f222579.html.  The
single subject is fragmented into 5 different threads.  When I noticed this
yesterday, these five threads had a total of 6 postings - the only Reply
that was correctly threaded was Bob Marsland's one.  There are a few more
replies now, but of course the sequence is already upset. "

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

David Beaumont
In reply to this post by Hugo <Nabble>
Quite a few of our users are complaining about this, below is another one
that may help you identify the problem.

Best wishes

David


"E-Mail is threaded by checking the References: header in the message,
this has the Message-ID: of messages which 'higher up' in the thread
and the mail client program uses this to show the thread.  Some mail
clients can also be told to thread by matching the Subject: with
previous messages but this is obviously less reliable (and won't get
the order or branching correct).

Newsreaders use the same information in the headers, i.e. the
References: header, to thread messages.

Looking at the "steering wheels" thread in the Main list it's obvious
that something (presumably Nabble) is screwing things up.  Looking at
the first message in the thread I see:-

    Message-ID: <[hidden email]>
    [no references as it's the first in the thread]

    Message-ID: <[hidden email]>
    References:
<[hidden email]><[hidden email]
e.com> <[hidden email]>

... and all subsequent messages have a mailman Message-ID: and
references to Nabble.  So, essentially, as far as I can see Nabble
hijacks the references and puts its own references there which breaks
eveything for both E-Mail and newsgroup subscribers.

Given that *most* people still use the lists by E-Mail this seems
rather a bad thing!  ... and complaining that E-Mail users are
hi-jacking threads etc. is a bit much too since the threading is
completely broken by Nabble anyway."

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

Hugo <Nabble>
In reply to this post by David Beaumont
Hi David, this happens because your mailing list archive is configured to create threads by subject. If you look at the "Bank Account in France" topic, it doesn't have the "DBAm:" text in the subject. This is also true for the reply by Bob Marsland. Those emails that were not archived correctly have that text in the subject and thus represent a new topic. I know the the "DBAm:" text is the mailing list prefix, but it comes in a non-standard format (standard format should be [DBAm] -- standard format is handled by our code). I will talk to the team and look for solutions.

In reply to this post by David Beaumont
hi David, I want to configure your forum archive to automatically remove the "DBAm:" text from all subjects. This will solve the threading problem and will also make the topics cleaner. What do you think? Would this be a problem for you and your colleagues? Please let me know.

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

Hugo <Nabble>
In reply to this post by David Beaumont
Hi David, the first message in that "steering wheel" thread was sent from Nabble, so it is correct to have @n4.nabble.com messageIds. It is mailman that is replacing our MessageIDs with mailman IDs and this will break the threading if somebody replies to a message that was sent from Nabble, received by mailman and forwarded to subscribers with a different ID. Then replies to this message will not thread correctly because they will have the mailman ID in the References. So please check if mailman has a specific configuration to fix this problem.

Please don't forget to give me your decision about this issue:

 Hi Will , Hugo, any news on this one?  It is a serious problem - replying
to a post which has  
originated on the forum by e-mail creates another thread.  Here is another

RE: thread by subject not metadata please

Hugo <Nabble>
Hi David, I'm waiting for your answer on this:
http://n2.nabble.com/fetaure-request-idetnify-read-messages-by-login-tp3892459p4027287.html

I want to remove the "DBAm:" prefix from the message subjects (so that threading by subject doesn't break anymore). Is that ok?

Thanks Hugo Sorry I had missed this query.  Yes removing the [DBAm:]  or [DBAc:] prefix would be very difficult for us, our members rely on it to identify that it is from a list and which one and often use rules in their mail software to send it to the appropriate folder.

Are you saying we cannot have prefixes at all or just that we need to amend the format?

Thanks

David

The prefix would be removed only in the archived messages (i.e., emails would still have the prefix). Is that ok?

I keep reading this and am still unsure what is meant

Do you mean [DBAm] would be fine, it is just the : that is the problem?
If so is it not possible to handle the :?

When you say you want to remove the DBAm: do you mean from just all the nabble held archives?  Will it affect new posts sent by email and will it solve the current split thread problem or willl it just tidy the archives?  Wil posts created on the forum arrive in our mail boxes with DBAm: added?  Will posts sent by email arrive on the nabble archiove with DBAm removed?  Will replies to existing posts by a different method to the original post be Ok?

Thanks

David
