Html, CSS, Jquery, etc. haven't really changed much in 18 years.
By @bastien_7914
=========
That's factually incorrect. A great many things have changed. For starters, nobody uses tables for layouts. That ended with mobile phones & tablets.
JavaScript advances each year. The code we use today bears little resemblance to the code in CS3.
Today's coders use CSS Flexbox , CSS Grids or Bootstrap to build responsive websites. CS3 can't cope with any of them.
Modern code consists of HTML5, CSS3 and ES6 JavaScript or higher. CS3 doesn't recognize any of them.
Forget about advanced code containing calc (), viewport or fractional units. No WYSIWYG in CS3.
In short, you're not doing yourself or your visitors any favors by clinging to obsolete CS3. If anything, it's suffocating your coding potential. At some point, you'll have to find replacements you can use.
Also, CS3 is officially dead. The activation servers are decommissioned.

Whatever you decide to use, good luck.

I wouldn't expect Powerpoint to support .AI or .SVG files, as neither file type is Windows-friendly.
The kinds of image files you can add to a slide in PowerPoint:
bmp.
gif.
jpg and jpeg.
png.
tif and tiff.
wmf and emf. (Windows-friendly vector format)
Your Illustrator vectors are being converted to pixels. That's why they look blurry.
SOLUTION:
1. In Illustrator, go to File ⇒ Export ⇒ ExportAs and select EMF or WMF.
2. Choose a location and filename.
3. Adjust settings (optional).
4. Hit the EXPORT button.
Hope that helps.

By @Colette_Becker1722

Sorry for your disappointment. All assets are subject to removal. It could be due to a 'Take Down Notice' filed by a 3rd party. Or the Contributor can elect to remove it.
This is not unique to Stock. It can happen at any royalty-free service.
If you're seriously contemplating a purchase, license & download it right away.

Not possible with CSS (cascading style sheets). Sorry.
Without more details, it's hard to make specific recommendations.
At a minimum, you need a dynamic solution and some coding skills.
SSI: Assuming all pages are under your control, on the same web host, a server-side-include can do this.

WEB SHARE API: If you're sharing data with various HTTPS domains, you could use a Web Share API.

Force refresh pages in your browser with Ctrl/Cmd + R or Ctrl/Cmd + F5.
Or consult your browser's advanced tools for details on clearing cached data.
If your server is caching data on their end, there's nothing you can do except wait.

Does Adobe still keep the pics for AI learning even if they are rejected?
By @Soliduskal001
==========
No.
Rejected images are deleted.
The preview photos you see in your panel are for your reference only.
A high rejection rate usually means you haven't done your homework. Compare your work with current Stock inventory. As you can see, Stock has millions & millions of cat images. To be accepted, yours needs to be unique, funny or exceptional in some way.
https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=cat
Customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.

When I disable images, there's nothing to see. Your page is almost entirely image-based. This doesn't bode well for assistive technologies, language translators & search engines that can't see images. You might want to do something about that.

If you're expecting DW CC to behave like CS6, it doesn't. Since 2017, DW has a new UI and code engine.
My workspace uses a dark App Theme.
When I click inside the Link field of the Properties panel, the field turns white with a blue border, signaling that the field is active. Shift + Home to highlight. Or use Backspace key to clear contents.

CS3 is 18-year-old software. It's way beyond its 'replace me' date and should not be used for current projects.
I urge you to use a modern replacement. If not Dreamweaver, then something else.

CSS:
I'm not a big fan of CSS Designer Panels.
For me, it's much faster & more precise to work directly with CSS files in CODE view or QuickEdit mode.
Just my 5 cents (adjusted for inflation).

Toggle between DESIGN & LIVE view with Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F11. See screenshot.
Double-click on linked text to bring up the floating Properties box.
This assumes you're working within a defined a local site folder and an HTML page that is free of code errors, denoted by the green checkmark.

Obligatory Captchas of various forms are a common occurrence on websites. But some Captchas are not what they seem.
It usually starts on websites that provide popular content. Nobody thinks twice when asked to prove they are not a robot.
But when a Captcha invokes another set of 'verification steps,' it's likely that you've encountered a FAKE.
DON'T DO what it tells you to do. It could put your computer at risk for malware.

I wouldn't take it personally. If anything, this is a boilerplate explanation for the removal of assets that Stock no longer wants to keep in inventory. You are not the only Contributor affected. This appears to be part of a massive 'Spring Cleaning' purge.
They might be looking at a variety of factors— activity/sales, keywords, titles, descriptions as well as quality of the actual assets. It's anyone's guess what Stock is thinking. They don't communicate publicly about their procedures.

Honestly, I don't give a flying squirrel what Disney does. It's a fantasy movie, no basis in reality. Ditto for the other culture war nonsense that doesn't affect me.
In a few years time, entertainment companies will be using AI generated actors to avoid having to pay for human talent. That's 1000% more offensive to me than an actor's skin-color or gender identity.

It seems that the people of European descent only suffer from 'unconscious basis'. Do people of colour suffer from this as well?
By @Ricky336
==========
'Unconscious bias' exists in all races.
I remember a black classmate who casually said, "everyone knows that white people can't dance," as if it was a fact rather than a racial stereotype. She was not trying to be malicious, nor was she a racist. But she carried 'unconscious biases' about white people.

I think this is part of a 'Spring Cleaning' effort to get rid of low-sellers & make room for new inventory.
If you have old assets in your portfolio that haven't had any recent activity, it's probably time to re-examine them.
Can they be improved?
Are the titles, keywords & descriptions as good as they should be?
