I'm able to connect using Firefox and the IE Tab plugin. There was a
bug in DesignBais with IE8 and they had a fix for that, which I would
think is part of DB install on the U2UG site. I'm using IE7 because
of this bug. I just tried accessing the site using IE8 from one of
our servers and got the same pesky message you got (and I get with
Firefox without IE Tab).
Either U2UG needs the DesignBais IE8 bug fix or you'll need to
uninstall IE8 (which I believe reverts back to IE7).

Greetings all,
The Better & Better committee of the U2 User Group would like to announce
the availability today of the B&B application online.
We would like to thank all the current and past U2 B&B Committee members
that have helped craft the vision over the last few years for this website,
as well as the various U2UG Board members that have provided crucial
guidance.
We are glad to partner with DesignBais, one of the leading providers of
software in the Multi-Value / U2 industry. The B&B application was
developed in DesignBais with UniVerse on the backend. Please thank David
Mclean and all the folks at DesignBais, along with us, as you have
opportunity. http://www.designbais.com/
As with so many U2UG projects, a big thanks also goes to Brian Leach for
hosting the application on his server, along with the U2UG website.
http://www.brianleach.co.uk<http://www.brianleach.co.uk/index.html>
A word about the B&B application itself:
The primary purpose is to advance the role of U2UG in providing feedback to
IBM regarding their U2 product offering suite.
You can log enhancement requests or bug-fixes for specific products.
(Please do a search for your request before entering it to avoid
duplicates.) Please be aware that logging bug-fixes here should not be
considered a replacement for communicating with your IBM channel partner
that is providing you support. There is no desire on the part of the U2UG
B&B committee to undermine the relationship that each U2 shop has with their
software / service provider. Our role is to provide a clearing house for
requests in order to provide synergy and focus to help carry IBM's efforts
forward, and to provide a forum for the "troops in the trenches" to express
their expert input regarding the requests in the channel.
What will happen with the requests? The role of the B&B committee will
begin to transition now to start reviewing these tickets as they come in and
facilitate their presentation to IBM. Be ready to provide a business case
for your request should you be contacted for such. Also ---- we need help
in this task. This is your opportunity to provide input on where the U2
suite is going. We know IBM has direction in this regard, we are simply
partnering and facilitating in this mission. Send an email to
betterandbet...@u2ug.net<mailto:betterandbet...@u2ug.net> if you would
like to join B&B.
Temporary limitations of the B&B application:
Because the B&B app and the website are sharing the same UniVerse seats on
the backend, don't be discouraged if you get a 303 error 'cannot display
webpage' just try again later. We don't expect a flood of folks to get on
at once, but if more than a few try to login at once this could occur. We
hope to upgrade the UV license in the not too distant future, which is a
separate project that the U2UG Board is actively working on.
A separate login is required for the B&B application at present. Soon you
will be able to login to the U2UG website and simply click a link to the B&B
app, without entering through a separate login dialogue. You will still see
the splash page so that you know where you are and that you are entering the
B&B app.
There are still a few enhancements that are planned but we thought it best
to go ahead and get the application 'out there' for the user community to
begin using, and providing feedback. To request an enhancement, enter a
ticket in the application, selecting B&B application from the Products drop
down. The folks at DesignBais delivered the application to U2UG in much the
same form as you will see when you login. Donald Bridges with Sunset
Programming is now helping to tweak the app further to better serve the U2
community. Brad Davis is also developing some reports in the app. Other on
the B&B committee who know or are learning DesignBais will help them in
these efforts.
What Browser to use? There were recent questions about different browsers
working with the app. The following notes / instructions are provided to
resolve those questions. We again thank Donald Bridges for his on-going
labors on this application, for beyond the call - he compiled these notes.
Regarding Firefox. Although I normally use IE7, I performed the following
updates to my Firefox install and was able to connect, no problem. There
are some screen shots that Donald included with the Firefox instructions
that will not post to the U2 list. If you need these, request a copy by
emailing betterandbet...@u2ug.net<mailto:betterandbet...@u2ug.net>. One
of the B&B members will email you the graphical version of these notes.
Hopefully, this new offering for the U2UG community will help take our
collective energy and success to the next level, and help insure continued
success for the U2 suite of product offerings from IBM.
Warm regards,
-Baker Hughes
U2UG Board Member (at large)
On behalf of the entire B&B group
1. The application is located at http://212.241.202.162:8080/db.
2. If you are using Firefox, please read this section. The
application can run in Firefox if you have the IE Tabs add-in installed.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419. When you go to any
website in Firefox that is IE Centric (.asp pages, .aspx pages, etc.), you
will click on the little firefox logo on the lower right side of your
browser to switch the browser engine to IE.
Alternatively and recommended, once you have the add-in installed, click on
Tools in Firefox and select the IE Tabs Option. The default tab is Sites
Filter. Enter the application location to the URL input box and click Add.
You are now setup to use the IE Rendering Engine for the website each time
you go to the location specified.
3. The application runs natively in IE7 and IE8. There have been
instances in IE8 when the website will not load correctly. These have been
resolved by making all of the forms in the application W3C compliant. If you
should experience this, please let us know so we can troubleshoot the
situation.
4. If you are using an application other than IE or Firefox, please
let us know. We are currently looking at how Safari could use the
application and will update this information later this week.
