Alternate ways to access the User to User Forums

> Google does something non-standard

Incorrect.

Not idiots. Just mistaken. It's Global Crossing's gateway that's not following accepted practice.

Toby,

1. This is old news that has already been discussed in this forum.

2. Google does something non-standard that doesn't fit with the multitude of ways that these forums can be accessed.

3. Posting to Google doesn't post here, so if you care to use the Google forums, you will get a distorted view of what's going on here anyway.

It's point three that renders this academic as far as I'm concerned. I believe that some investigation is going on in the background. But your implication that the reason this doesn't work is that someone here is an idiot is nowhere near the truth.

> Any decent newsreader can wrap.

And any decent USENET gateway can follow established convention (see e.g. here) and break overlong lines!

> the forums can be accessed on Google Groups

Except the gateway posts articles without breaking lines, which makes it unpleasant & ugly to use Google Groups (and probably other newsreaders too, since this behaviour flouts long-established USENET convention). I reported this bug on 24 Jan without any useful response from Adobe.

Hi, Thomas,

Point your newsreader to "adobeforums.com" - just that, no www or nntp prefix.

Select that you need to login, and enter your username (Thomas Porter) and your password. Click OK and go and collect a list of the forums on that server.

John,

You can read forums post there (Google Groups), but if you post there, your message will not be visible here on the Adobe Forums, only on Google groups.

I may be years behind everyone else, but the forums can be accessed on Google Groups - Click here

I'm on a Mac with Netscape 4.79 and have never had this problem. Updated last week from Mac OS 9.1 to 9.2.2; no difference.
