Questions

I wouldn't have noticed this, but for the fact that I decided to try out FireFox 4...When trying to upload an image in Internet Explorer, there is no way to type in a filename in the Upload Image: field, shown below.  The insertion point cursor can be put in there, but nothing can be typed.  The [Browse...] button, of course, works fine.Just because I needed to check some web work I happened to have FireFox 4 open, and I don't know why I tried, but lo and behold I could actually type something in there.  After the first character FireFox just popped up a file selection dialog, where I finished typing the filename.The field is even grayed-out in IE, whereas it's white in FireFox.Is this forum software particularly well optimized for FireFox then?-Noel

Good day I am interested in some Adobe product. I am an elected parent sitting on a High School Governing Board and school rep. on the School Board committee. I am not paid by the school/school board but part of a 20 members committee making decision about budget, school affairs, etc. My purchase is a personnal purchase. Do I fall under the "Student/Teacher" or the "Education" pricing? The "Education" section seems to imply that the purchase must be for the organization which is not the case. Please clarify for me.

Yesterday morning I spend upwards of an hour catching up on the forums here that I visit, posting responses, etc. until I felt I had found everything I wanted to look at.  Today, by contrast, though (from where I sit) the response time is definitely a few seconds slower for each individual operation with Read Tracking enabled, I got through all the new posts in about 10 minutes.  And it was FAR more pleasant to do. It's not intutively obvious that this one little feature could be so important, but rest assured that it is.  This is a penny foolish and pound wise change.  It's good to know those can still occasionally happen.Thank you for re-enabling Read Tracking!If you do have future problems with it, please try harder to fix the problems rather than disabling the feature.-Noel

Okay, so what's new that the following is now intermittently happening with the web interface?1.  Hit Reply.2.  Post Reply to...  page opens.3.  Editor pane fails to open, it just stops with a minimal window showing and nowhere to type...This is intermittent, but seems to be dependent on something external...  Some days it almost never happens, sometimes it happens almost every time.Just hitting refresh, after the above occurs, will virtually always lead to a fully functioning reply window, including editor pane - so it's not a huge deal, but it's just another irritation.-Noel

Today I couldn't post two small JPEG images in the same post.  It showed fine in the editor, but not when the post was made.  Two subsequent attempts to edit it, even with a different filename, didn't succeed in making the image show.Here's the thread:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/3618788#3618788You may notice it let me post the second image in a subsequent reply.Here are the two images I tried to post:...and...Edit:  Looks like it works here, making it all the more interesting a problem.How does a software system get that wrong in one place and not in another?  Has the forum software become self-aware?  JiveSkyNet, I take back all the bad things I have ever said about you.-Noel

Hi guys,My appologies for a basic questions but I am a new photographer and Lightroom 3 user and I would like to turn the setting on within development that allows you to view in red the amount of over or under exposure applies in the photo I am viewing once imported into lightroom. In my old software, when viewing an imaage, the photo displayed in red the level of under or over exposure, so I could easly adjust. How do I get this red exposure indicator in Lightroom 3.Any help would be very much appreciated.Thanks Biscuits

In the long series of things we all live with and tend to overlook...Not only does the editor insert newlines and force the cursor to the end of the line once in most messages, but sometimes it loses edits.For example, make a post, see a typo, go back to edit, make the change very quickly, then repost. If you're quick about it, the change is likely lost.  The more coffee, the more likely.I think it may be that you have to edit a post for a certain amount of time before the edit is accepted, but I'm not completely sure.  Maybe this is the same amount of time that normally elapses before the newline/end-of-line thing.  Maybe this is some kind of misguided security feature or protection against double posting - I don't know, but it's damned irritating to have to do things twice!-Noel

Looks the forums have been for much of the past hour or two, returning:$ curl  http://forums.adobe.com<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"><html><head><title>302 Found</title></head><body><h1>Found</h1><p>The document has moved <a href="http://www.adobe.com/special/message.html">here</a>.</p></body></html>Also at one point got a page asking me to email the administrator as admin@clearspace.instance or somesuch...

It is no longer posible to search the forums for specific key words. I usually use the search function a lot. Nov tt looks like the it only search people and not the forums.Kirstine

In my apparent new tradition of bringing up a new problem each day, I suppose I'll ask these questions, which have been bothering me for a while...1.  I can underline text while I'm editing.  In fact, this sentence is underlined.  Why doesn't it retain the underline after one hits [ Post Message ]?2.  Just above where we type there are boxes for Font family and font size.  And sure enough one can change font size and face here in the editor (e.g., this sentence).  But again, it doesn't post...  Why?I suppose I should be thankful that Bolding and italics DO work, even together.-Noel

Sorry to be so blunt, but the forums are as slow as ever.In addition we have lost RT (read tracking) in the process, making all the forums nearly unuseable. It was clear that most of the users wanted RT back. It has not happened in two weeks time. Now the speed has become another hurdle. Was'nt that the reason to remove RT? Well, good choice.No speed improvements and greatly reduced functionality. I'm ready to give up on this approach.I have tried to help people here, but now it is impossible to do so. I take time off, untill Adobe gets it right.

Hi -I'm pretty sure that this newest re-design of the adobe discussions requires a few more clicks before I get to the specific forum I'm looking for.  In fact I'm very sure.What really adds to the frustration is that after I get to the forum I need, and then sign in - I'm sent back to some general adobe.com page and have to search again to find the forum I need.It seems to me that after signing in I should be brought back to the last page I was on.Thanks,JL

Hi,I've been learning CS5 web design and want to start designing but my health has meant that I need to use a laptop now (have to lay down because of back problems) instead of my desk top.Can anyone suggest the best laptops for the job? I don't want to spend out lots for something that's not needed or not good for the job in hand.Obviously I'd like to pay as little as possible but don't what 'cheap and useless' either, so will consider any.Any advice is gratefully received and I'll follow up in my research for the perfect laptop for me.By the way, I'm using a macbook to type this but my CS5 is for Windows (as is my desktop) so a laptop would have to be a Windows one please.I look forward to hearing from you and getting on with researching laptops with your advice.Thanks for reading.Anna

As my message is about Forum Comments I am posting this here: I have just noticed that these forums can allow you to insert videos or Images but there is no such facility to attach files.Attachment of files is very important for Dreamweaver Forums where users can attach their HTML, CSS and related images for helpers to test them out and provide appropriate suggestions.Can Adobe-Admin please forward this suggestion to the appropriate developer team.Thanks.

  Hello everyone.  I want to open a PDF document using Javascript. Is it possible?.  I think so but I do not know.  I have read this site:http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.htmlbut I find no examples, no help.Thank you, kind regards.

Yet another niggling little thing, noticed recently...Once it was possible to put one of these...    ...on the same line as text.Alas, no more.  Now it appears on the a line by itself when it is posted.Does anyone know a secret handshake for getting the smiley on line?  Is it maybe an Internet Explorer 9 thing?  Funny thing is they're in line in the text editor in IE9.  I wouldn't swear I've ever seen them in the right places in IE9, but...  I dunno.-Noel

The box for "Search only this forum" seems to come and go as I navigate through the site.It's there when I first get to the site. It disappears when I click on a thread. It reappears when I click on the forum name in the breadcrumbs navigation. But when I click on the word Discussion in the breadcrumbs navigation, it disappears forever. I can click on all the breadcrumbs and it never comes back. The only way to get it back is to click on Adobe Forums then find my way back to the forum I was viewing.

About half the time I post a reply with the web interface that quotes someone, the jivemacro attribute gets lost and the quote ends up looking goofy.It's supposed to look like this, which is visible in the HTML viewer as <pre class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote" jivemacro="quote">:Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetaur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor inbut instead it ends up just as <pre class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetaur adipisicing elit, sed doeiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor inand the difference is significant, because the latter adds an annoying scroll bar and just doesn't look like a

Raw video files straight off of a DVD isn't compatible to Premiere Pro CS4. So what I usually do is, I encode it through Handbrake to maintain high quality. All of a sudden Im getting difficulty with Handbrake. When I import it through Premiere only a fraction of the video gets shown. I have two question in regards to that...1) What could I be doing wrong?2) And does Adobe Premiere have a encoder program specifically for Premiere so that I dont have to use a program that may not be compatible to it?

First of all Thank you for your help.I have a random issue with CS5.  Every now and then when painting out on a mask transparency, the thumbnail visual does not show a representation of what was painted black.  It is as if there is a delay with CS5 registering the information, but my Mac system is new and bawny. The weird thing also is that I happens on my computer in the studio as well as at home. The only change I made to my preferences is changing the color of my transparencies to a solid white. Any clue what it is and how to get rid of it?

I need to export a 16x9, 720/30p CS3 project, for final viewing on a 4:3 projector in letterbox. *This project is about to kick off with a VERY short deadling and the shooters keep changing their mind about whether they're going to shoot in 720/30p or 720/60p. I need to plan for both to be safe. How will this effect things in my original 16x9 project setup if they give me both 720/30p and 720/60p video? And what about exporting for letterbox viewing in 4:3 if this occurs? I mean, if I start a project in 720/30p with CS3 and they bring me 720/60p video as well as 720/30p video, will I have to start a new project and start editing everything all over again, and vice versa? Also, how will this effect my final letterboxed 16x9 product? **I also have to provide this to the customer in 16x9 DVD format.
