Mailing List Update
James Zukowski:
Is there any expected timeline for any of the maillist content to be available on the forum? While the maillist is still functioning in a Q&A mode only (no interactions or searching available), there is a deep fount of knowledge that would ultimately be lost if it doesn't get transferred - even in abridged form.
In a quick review on my browser bookmarks, I noticed some items that I had marked that were in the forum, but alas are no longer accessible. (I guess I should have reviewed earlier while it was still up, so I could download the details. Too late...for now.)
Mike King:
Unfortunately due to GDPR rules we cannot make the historical emails available as they cannot be edited in any way that would allow removal of any personal information such as persons name or where they work. While this rule would not apply to non-EU member postings, because message threads often include the data submitted by others all emails have the potential to include personal data and not in any form that is easily editable or able to be removed.
If you have things you are looking for we suggest you post your request here and we will try to either answer the question and/or search the archives to get an answer removing any personal data from the response. Over time this should allow this forum to include many items of interest to the community.
This also will allow us to update many of the answers that were in older mail list entries. Older answers may now no longer be relevant or correct as the product has changed over the years. For example older maillist entries might suggest you invoke Adobe to display a PDF or Shell.explorer to display an animated GIF, ignoring the fact that the *BROWSER object module included in PxPlus 2017 can be used to display PDF files and that animated GIF files are supported directly.
James Zukowski:
Fortunately, my list of "old" links is rather short. While I don't recall specifically why I bookmarked them, I know the information would be something I would interested in during the development/upgrade/update of our system. Some may have since been superceded, as you indicated, or already incorporated into the software.
Here are the original message numbers and their corresponding subject lines:
56128: Spooling
113168: Startup
113043: Password Encryption
113778: Nomads Security
82657: Multi-Monitor Explanation/Usage
79935: Excel Interaction
73888: Folder Tab Colors
Thanks!

Perhaps we can create a wiki project to edit/delete personal's info and give you only the questions/data without personal data... and you can republish it ...
Just an idea ...
