<p>Just wanted to say that SIS is really slow. I’ve only been on it for less than two minutes, so I’m expecting more flaws to come.</p>

<p>it’s not all fun and games. i was TA-ing last night in stacks for around five hours (a little after 7 to around midnight…). plus next semester i have an 8am class every single day (woo ed school).</p>

<p>sis is still stupid (read: over the top flash/java/whatever it is that’s SLOW and a memory-hog… it just, like, times out for no reason - not just students, my advisor was complaining about it when i went to see her), but i do have to admit i like not having to remember (aka not lose the paper i write it on) that stupid advisor code for registration.</p>

<p>There must be a feedback mechanism for those of you who are having trouble. </p>

<p>I’ve been kicked out for 20 minutes of inactivity, but I always get a warning pop up that tells me it’s going to happen. If I shake my mouse, all is well.</p>

[hazelorb]

<p>well, it’s pretty much like collab.</p>

<p>i email about features that don’t work. they say they just haven’t ever made them work yet. wait lemme get an email proof of that.</p>

Hi,
I’m a TA for CS101 and we’re looking to export the forums to import
onto the Spring 09 site, but export gives me an error. Is this feature
not working or is there something special I need to do to export the
forums? Otherwise I can just copy and paste them all into a new thread
when the new 09 collab site is made (though that is tedious).
Thanks,
Me

@Collab support staff

Unfortunately the export feature in the Discussion and Private Messages tool does not work and has never worked.</p>

<p>We are in the middle of testing for an upgrade but we will try to take a look at your site and offer a possible alternative in the next few days.</p>

<p>I hope this helps. If you have further questions please contact us at <a href=“mailto:collab-support@virginia.edu”>collab-support@virginia.edu</a>.

@me

Well we are a computer science class which means we’re tech savvy, if
we could just have an sql backup of our forums (CS101 fall 08) we
could make that work. phpMyAdmin can make backups painlessly.

@them

Grabbing just your class site discussion forums from the UVaCollab database is not a trivial task and we simply don’t have the resources to do this right now. So sorry! I think your suggestion to recreate these forums topics in your spring 2009 site is the way to go.

</p>

<p>…they’re very helpful, no?</p>

[Dean_J]

<p>Ah. We aren’t Collab users. Sorry for the trouble, Hazel.</p>

<p>When loading finaid info, SIS crashed at least four times, with no periods of inactivity.</p>

<p>Btw: What’s the purpose of re-typing all of fafsa data info into SIS? Why doesn’t/can’t Finaid just upload fafsa like every other college?</p>

[aykut]

<p>guys, I didnt understand where the decisions will appear on SIS</p>

[U.Va_hopeful]

<p>^ if you look at the blog (and scroll down a bit) there’s a screenshot of where you have to click</p>

<p>

Btw: What’s the purpose of re-typing all of fafsa data info into SIS? Why doesn’t/can’t Finaid just upload fafsa like every other college?

Sorry, I’m not an aid officer. A call to Financial Aid/SFS might get you an answer.</p>
