Thank you for at last shutting down the thread

'Photoshop CC 2017 Unusable slow'

It's a pity you couldn't do it before all the damage was done though and what happens about all the decent people on that thread who were actually trying out the suggestions? It goes to show how a couple of abusive OP's can spoil things for everyone. But with $5.8 billion declared as this years profit what does Adobe care about them.

Terri—I'm sorry for how awful this was for you. Skiing in the alps and a holiday break with your family sounds like just what you need. And to perhaps bring a smile to your face, I'll share my most memorable (also most embarrassing) story with you from a holiday ski trip in the Alps. I was young and not very skilled. I crossed my tips, went down and slid a good distance down the hill on my back. There was a horse-drawn carriage in front of me, and when I finally stopped I was directly between the front and back legs of a very large draft horse. I'll never forget that unique view of the horse, who, to his credit, didn't move. I don't remember how I got out of there, but it did provide the incentive to learn to ski well enough to avoid peering at the underbellies of very large horses.

Merry Christmas and hope to see you again in the new year.

I don't know how all this all got out of control? What was the moderator doing? Was he sleeping? In fact I have seen post number 5 (above) offensive because the video uses the word Bit** and it is posted by our so called Moderator. there was no need for the comics to be posted when Terri raised a very important and serious matter but the Mr Dennis made a fool of her by posting totally unrelated message. This is clearly abuse of these facilities and power. No wonder other users joined the abuse and everything went out of control.

Let's hope Terri will have a rethink and come back here soon.

I suspect most employees were off for the weekend. The rest of us are trained volunteers. I don't think it would be fair to expect us to sit here 24/7, neglecting our own lives and families.

As for the questionable post, I have removed the offensive image. I hadn't seen the words at the bottom reading this thread earlier, so thank you for mentioning it.

Yes, I tend to ignore those as well - except one or two that are so full of gross misunderstandings that I feel someone should occasionally inject a small dose of sanity. Like the "100 %" - thread.

Not that I have any illusions. It never "helps", the madness just continues. It just feels like the right thing to do.

Terri, you don't have to go either/or with the forums. Look it up when you have a little spare time, pick one or two threads that look interesting, let the others drift. I only go all in when I have a lot of time on my hands, which doesn't happen very often between work and family obligations. But if I manage to get one or two good answers in during the day, I feel like I've made a decent contribution.

By locking up this topic you locked up customers mouth poiting out CC 2017 issues. Good job!

What about Type tool issue? Have you fixed it and speed up interface that topic is closed? Don't think so.

Hi Jacek

If you have a specif issue, please start a new thread. I, for one, never look at that those overlong threads — especially if they are already marked as having a Correct answer. I guess they are OK if you just want to rant, and that's fine so long as it does not get out of hand like the locked thread apparently did.

There must have been a dozen different people with a dozen different problems in the locked thread. Any thread that goes beyond ten or more posts becomes confusing. New people join the thread without reading through it, and make suggestions already covered, or they miss vital clues from earlier posts, or worst of all, the original poster misses what might well be the answer to their problem, and the thread flounders on needlessly.

Big threads are counterproductive, and when they degenerate into swapping insults, you bet your ass they are going to be locked.

I wish I had seen it earlier, but was out. I locked the thread and it has been moved to a private forum temporarily, awating review by admins. I want them to see the thread in it's entirety before it is cleaned up. After that, I hope to return the thread to the Photoshop General Discussion.

Merry Christmas, and by all means take some time off. We hope you will not go, but you ultimately will know what is best.

Take care,

Benjamin

Please ignore this discussion. I have had a private discussion with Bob and would like to put this whole sorry saga to bed now.

I'm taking an indefinite sabbatical from this forum now as I'm thoroughly disillusioned and my husband has asked me to stop doing it. I might change my mind as I love helping people, but with an 11 month old baby I think there are better things to do than argue with trolls. To all the nice people I have encountered here may I wish you a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year -in spite of Donald Trump lol

Terri,

I hope you come back sooner rather than later.

And bring back the cowgirl . . .

With the impending kakistocracy, we need all the smart competent people we can find.

Even if its only on an Adobe forum . . .

Good Luck!

Argh Bo thank you for being so sweet. Unfortunately I can't bring back the cowgirl as JJ thinks it's gross lol and he's quite possibly right lol. There have been one or two developments over night which in fairness to Tricia I can't say anything about at the moment, but I will say my announcement of retirement might have been premature.

enjoy Christmas babe
