Question

I don't understand how the forums in Spanish are organized

1. First problem.

If I go to this page

http://adobeforums.adobe.com/index.jspa

scroll down to the "Foros internacionales" button (that's what I see although most of the rest of the page is in English), click on it and then on the "España" button, I'm taken here

http://adobeforums.adobe.com/community/international_forums/espanol

where the first item in the list is two weeks old. There is however a TOP PARTICIPANTS box, at present with two names, one of them mine. And if I open the profile of either, I find a list of fairly recent messages, including some of today. And if I click on the title of one of these messages, I'm taken (for example) here:

http://adobeforums.adobe.com/message/1616675#1616675

and the route is shown as:

> Adobe Forums > International Forums > Foros de usuario a usuario > Spain General Discussion > Discussions

But the route i get if I open any of the messages in the window with only old messages is

> Adobe Forums > International Forums > Foros de usuario a usuario > Discussions

one missing step, perhaps explaining the different result.

2. Second problem.

In none of the two routes I get a list of subforums such as Acrobat, InDesign,..., or even grouped in arbitrary categories as in the existing forums. My impression is that categories got simply lost in the process.

Anyone?

    >I won't try to understand why they drop the thread number and repeat what seems to be the message number...

    There is a method to the madness, I'm sure. :D I don't even wanna know for now... too much else to figure out.

    Thanks for the tip, Dorothy, although I won't try to understand why they drop the thread number and repeat what seems to be the message number...

    Yep, I've been following that, tho not commenting. Hopefully the vital stuff is relatively sorted by now and he gets to start tweaking details... using everybody's eyes and experience.

    The post numbers are hotlinked also, so you can right click and copy that. http://adobeforums.adobe.com/message/1617341#1617341 (no idea, yet, why they repeat the number. I'll ask eventually.)

    >In the meantime, I understand and appreciate that it's an important topic to you guys, but it necessarily has to be fairly far down John's priority list...

    Fortunately, although John may not have time to come back here, he does manage to worry about things that may be low in his priority list:

    http://adobeforums.adobe.com/thread/336863?tstart=0

    (message 10 onwards).

    Addition: the "closed thread" feature afects the whole España forum, but not a couple of other forums I have been to.

    Things seem to be more complicated than I thought. All observations reported in my recent posts, including changes in the España forum, have been made in a Mac, where I remain logged all the time. Well, I have just moved to a Win-Vista machine I use occasionally, and in which I have to login every time, and the situation is quite different here. And yes, I have just checked and nothing has changed in what I see in my Mac since my previous message.

    First thing, the España forum here (Win)is now a fusion of the ex-Adobe and ex-Macromedia forums, with no subforums, and includes the new threads I miss in my Mac. The Last Post column is visible, and there are several more options in the Actions box.

    However, both views (Mac and Win) share something in common: I find no way to add a new message in "my" thread, although they have no indication of having made read only. Ah, and threads are in chronological order :-)

    Go figure...

    Ramón, you seem to be misunderstanding me. As you may not be the only one, please let me try to be more clear.

    What I am complaining about is that the "España" part of the international forums has been changing for the worse. The last change transformed what there was to a one year old copy of the ex-MM forums, elimintating the ex-Adobe part, which naturally eliminated from the forum structure the threads that had been opened since this trial started.

    Curiously, the threads themselves have not disappeared completely. Contrary with what I thought last night, the link in my message #13 above is still working. Problem is, I have not found any easy way to get to that thread...

    I know that everything posted in the trial version will eventually disappear. I won't miss any of my messages, as I have been only testing how things work. However, I would expect things to be more or less consistent. And things to change foir the better, not for the worse.

    And in any case, the idea of all ex-Adobe and all ex-MM forums mixed together in one single bag makes me shudder. Do you think messages will at least be ordered chronologically?

    Claudio,

    That's just the Preview area, a beta or demo, if you will. All of that will be deleted when the change over happens.

    What you post here now is NOT reflected there and vice versa. Think of it as a convenient punching bag that will be completely discarded in a few weeks.

    If you want your content to remain, post it here, not over there.

    Correction. In my message #12 above, I wrote "...from more that two weeks ago". Well, I should have written "...form more tha n one year ago".

    Well, right now the message quoted above has disappeared from my profile in the top participants list. However, the above link still takes me to that message, but there are no traces of the forum in which I posted it. I assume that in a couple of minutes even the link will cease to work. :-(
