Please update "DataStage Release" field choices

Post by qt_ky »

When posting topics, the "DataStage Release" required field choices are 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, or 8x.

Version 9x has been available since Dec 2012. Version 11x is in the works (not sure why they might be skipping over 10x in the numbering)...

How about updating the choices with 9x and 11x (at least 9x for now) and removing 4/5/6 which went out of support long ago?

I know this has been "on the table" for some time now but I don't believe the site owner has anyone able to do tasks of that nature right now and hasn't for some time. I've also heard rumors of a whole new site / redesign coming but no clue whatever happened with that. :(

That is correct. The real problem is we're on an ancient release of phpbb (bulletin board software) and any attempt to move to a newer release is problematic. I will keep bugging Dennis though!

It should be easy to update the release choices on the drop down menu and has most likely been done at least once before.

The release choice on the edit profile page also needs updating. It includes version 3.6, 3.5, 3.1 or earlier.

I am volunteering to trace through the existing phpBB software and any php/html code to do tasks of this nature. Just let me know.
