Questions

I think if we're going to be asked to respect and love the points it might be a good reciprocal start to dole out a few to the deserving. Can you undermine their legitimacy? I think not."The real issue here sailed right over your head, champ.  But at least now we know the identity of Adobe’s Chief Apologist for Abysmal Customer Support.  Stick to your little PS tips-n-tricks, scribbler. You don’t know squat about business."http://forums.adobe.com/message/2014660#2014660

We have been advised to upgrade from CS to CS4 before the upgrade path closes, however this will also entail upgrading 3 x G4's in our design studio as these won't run CS4 properly. By upgrading to Mac Pro's there will also be additional software updates we need to purchase, which in turn means we will have to update on other Macs on network. All in all an expensive business. As such I would be really grateful for some feedback as to benefits of CS4 or should we just continue with existing Suite until we find we are lagging behind and then bite the bullet and be prepared to spend out even more for full CS (we will probably be on CS5 by then)? Am i just delaying the inevitable?

Back in 2001 I was given FAQ making abilities for the Photoshop Mac forum. How do I get these back? Do I need to apply some where? Or is this another thing the Jive forum is incapable of doing?

The curious hiccup with the post that Harbs didn't make ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/2013838#2013838 ) seems to be spreading. Reading via email, I've noticed (at least) two messages today that have ended up in the wrong forum over the wrong signature. I'll put the full contents below so somebody (JC?) can have a look if he wants to.NoelX-Message-Delivery: Vj0xLjE7dXM9MDtsPTA7YT0wO0Q9MTtTQ0w9MA==X-Message-Status: n:0X-SID-PRA: ristozzX <forums@adobe.com>X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jEnIVSz1tGnalTngfOAEuBxZobsHeuDN2gArYI3KBerXWAV3rhFuZF5Y3h4Kx658KBsxBgNvw4iuCG0seVc3Fe9Received: from mail.sgaur.hosted.jivesoftware.com () by col0-mc4-f37.Col0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.3959); Thu, 4 Jun 2009 09:37:06 -0700Received: from sgaurwa41p (unknown ) by mail.sgaur.hosted.jivesoftware.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0853E24085BD for <jnllb@gmail.com>; Thu, 4 Jun 2009 10:37:06 -0600 (MDT)Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:37:05 -0600From: ristozzX <forums@adobe.com>Reply-T

If you understand what "Developer Release" is all about (and if you're using these fine forums who doesn't ?), Google Chrome has been released for people to take for a spin. More info here.

Why is it this forum allows users to insert Java, SQL, HTML and Plain - but no Actionscript?

I did NOT post this:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2013680#2013680Any ideas?I did post one email to this thread which never made it (and didn't get returned either). The cotent of the email had no connection to this though...Harbs

I used to use Corel Capture a lot. It was very easy and useful tool. I think it comes with CorelDraw.Is there any equivalent among Adobe programs? I have Illustrator CS and Photoshop CS, hoping one comes with them.Thanks

I'm curious what kind of speed folks are getting with these new forums.  For my own experience, they're drastically slower than the older forums.Using Firefox 3 and 3.5b4, I get page load times of around 20 seconds on average for a page to fully load.  IE8 is slower still.  This is on a 768 DSL connection.Using the new Chrome browser, I get a more acceptable 2 second page load time on average.  (Which clearly shows there's nothing wrong with my connection.)That is a VAST difference.  With other web sites, Chrome and Firefox display pages in very similar time frames.  It's only with these forums that Firefox is slowed to a crawl.  I wonder if any forum techies can chime in with theories as to why?

Well, i guess the topic says it all....

posted in the InDesign forum.Sorry folks, but word has come down from above that abuse of the point system is counter-productive. There are management types that actually believe some users see points as an incentive to provide a quality answer, and that they wouldn't do so without the points, but that's not a widely held opinion among hosts. Nevertheless, I have to lock the thread, and warn you that at some point there will be official sanctions for those who post threads with the sole purpose of gaming the point system.If they don't want the point system abused then we need to do away with it. This forum is becoming less and less a place I want to help at. I think I will start looking for another Photoshop forum.

I was reading Joel on Software today and he was talking about "Stack Overflow" which is a very successful Q&A forum for programmers by programmers.  Joel makes the point that the Stack Overflow board (which is similar to these forums in that it's a technical support forum) uses a point system. Joel goes on to write;"It’s not much of a secret, but Stack Overflow is already a great place to find good programmers, because you can see how good people really are by reading the answers that they post. I’ve noticed a lot of people putting their Stack Overflow reputations on their resumes, and we’re starting to hear stories of people who got jobs through the site. Jeff and I are committed to building features to make this easier in the next “six to eight” weeks. For example, I’ve always hated traditional resumes, which just don’t give the right kind of information about a candidate. If you wanted to hire an iPhone developer, would you rather know that person’s Stack Overflow stats in

Dear Adobe team. e-mail replies more or less work now (apart from the still unfixed formatting issues).But ... sometimes there are considerable delays between the e-mail reply and the time that it's posted to your website. Sometimes 10-30 minutes. Of course, nobody can prove that it's Adobe servers not being able to catch up with all the e-mails. It might just as well have been delayed on it's way through "e-mail cyberspace" ...But I was writing mails to other people at the same time and they did reply back immediately ...... still no proof of anything.Just saying that you might want to check your server load, etc., because it happens that users don't find their e-mail reply here on the forums and then double post via the web interface (only to see their message posted a second time via e-mail then) ....

Am I missing something in the UI here? Why can't we do this basic function that all forums (even Jurassic DinoForum 1.0) provide?So wow, no preview, really? Is there an option to enable it maybe? It's kind of a standard forum feature, you would think.Sorry if this is an old topic--I would have done a search, but I don't feel like digging in the mile-long forum list to find this forum. Thanks Jive.

As the topic says...This common login is supposed to be one reason why Adobe can't implement NNTP. But what function does it serve? I've commented in another thread, and below is more or less, what i said there...That, i think, was the most assinine idea anyone ever came up with. I see no reason for not having separate log ins for store and forums / downloads. In fact, i can't think of one good reason to combine the two.If i were a user of the Adobe store, i would definitely prefer to have a separate login and password for that area. I think most people would. I see a lot of aliases in the forums. In the store, you'd want to use your real name for tax and audit purposes. Moreover, what's to stop people creating two identities anyway? So, the whole purpose of a common id is meaningless.Am sure, that even at this stage, it wouldn't be too difficult to separate the two. For instance, whenever i open the forums i see a welcome at the top of the screen. Right above 'Home'. Yet, i still have

all the threads are "unread" and my id has magically changed. did i get flagged by "the man" or something? i'm going to try simply changing it back, but i wanted someone to see this... screenshot follows. i did NOT change my id or in any way mess with my preferneces. haven't been in there (prefs) for a month or more.

I'm subscribed to very few threads, but I got an email which was pure spam, purporting to be a message in that thread. It isn't in the thread - can I assume it was removed before I saw the email? I hope that's all it was.
