Question

I really enjoy logging in over and over and over again

I have so much free time on my hands, and I love doing tedious and otherwise useless tasks.  Thank you Adobe for replacing the NNTP servers with this lame web-based forum.  I'll come back in a few hours so I can login again.  Wheeeee!

Best,

Christopher

    NUTS!  I get tired of logging in again and again!  Why has this problem NOT been fixed?

    I know.  That is the really frightening possibility.

    They might be frightfully busy with sorting out the bugs and requests regarding the jive software but this particular annoyance could be dealt with separately and quickly.

    No?

    Oh well.

    No?

    Past experiences have not been good. The last time they rolled out a new user forum it had so many problems that were apparently unfixable, they had to toss it overboard and roll back to the previous version. Here's hoping they will toss this junk too and roll back again, but I expect they will reject any notion of defeat this time and we'll just have to suffer this crappy implementation.

    The greatest joy is when you carefully write a long and thorough post, and it dies because you get logged out.

    Perhaps Adobe staff are logged out before they have a chance to read these complaints and are unaware of these problems.

    In my case there has been a time or two that what happened to you happened to me and after I logged back on I found  an ote above the post that they had recovered a file. I clicked on it and it turned out to be the message I was typing.

    these have got to be the suckiest forums on the planet.

    Worst forums in the universe. Any aliens worth counting are far more advanced.

    But I thought "logging in all the time" was a new "feature" to help us remember our passwords? Right? Was I lied to by Jive again?

    STOP IT!

    I was logged in when I started reading some threads.  Then, with no warning, I was logged out!

    I repeat:  Are Adobe and Jive doing ANYTHING to fix this stupid problem?  Am I asking too much?

    You certainly are not asking too much, but if you think they know how to fix it, you are probably expecting too much. These problems are consistent with Adobe's track record regarding user forums. The Adobe product line is great; the Adobe user forums, as Kazakh journalist Borat would say, not so much.

    Best,

    A new twist of the login problem. I have just switched on my Mac, and when I entered these forums, I wasn't logged in. I opened one of the long threads, and found I couldn't change pages. I then restarted Firefox, and guess what? On coming back to the forums, I had been logged in!!!

    Another new one: I was logged when I started my Vista machine, and stayed logged during about one hour of inactivity, but was kicked out while I was reading the messages in a thread...

    DANG!


    I thought the log-in problem was fixed. I was also thinking that maybe the forum log-in had been separated from the Adobe Store log-in.

    I stayed logged in to the forums for well over 24 hours, through 2 intentional browser shutdowns, through extensive navigation away from the forums, and after 6 hours of system sleep. Fortunately, it kept me logged in as I spent about an hour coding up a long F.A.Q. (I was cautious about it though, and kept saving out my progress to a text file). And, for most of the times that I took notice, I didn't see my name at the very top of the page to indicate I was also logged in to the store.


    Then this afternoon I put my system to sleep for about an hour while I took a nap. Come back, make it through two forums, and then BANG!!! kicked out.


    This §hit's getting old. It'd be one thing if it was predictable. It's annoying as hell that it's not.

    Obviously, it hasn't been fixed.


    It is not predictable, and it seems to be completely random. Today I was logged in when I switched on my two computers, and have remained logged all day. So far. Perhaps I will be logged out while posting this message.

    I was still logged in this morning when I launched my browser.  I read a few posts, checked the Lightroom forum, closed the browser and did other things for about 45 minutes.

    So, now I have returned, only to fine I have been logged out AGAIN!

    Why has this problem not been fixed?

    Adobe has a miserable track record in trying to roll out new user forum technology. The last time they attempted to release a new forum technology, they floundered for weeks and finally had to throw up their hands and roll back to the old tried-and-tested. We should continue to push them on these tedious and annoying issues, but to be perfectly honest, I don't have much confidence that Adobe knows how to fix them.

    Best,

    And I have almost absolutely no confidence that Adobe is willing to go back this time. They seem to have spent (wasted?) considerable amounts of money in the change.
