Oh! points encourage people.

The forum software evidently believes "bucket" is a dirty word, as in "Photoshop Elements' Paint Bucket tool".  (B u c k e t).   See this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/434983?tstart=0

There have been a lot of posts in the thread, "Is the "point system" here helpful at all?" The general consensus seems to be negative. Apart from that particular thread, there have been numerous references to the sheer a$$inity of the point system as well as the "Correct" answer mis-feature.So, how do we go about getting Adobe to remove these half-a$$ed Jive ACE features? I have a few suggestions:1/ Draw up a list of forums and flood them with inane questions to which we award answers on a random basis2/ Approach John C and Kanguyen with reasoned arguments – an effort doomed to failure as the 'powers that be' are so narcissusly taken with this brainwave – sorry, brain-aberration – of theirs that they will refuse to see logic3/ Flame all good posters who, through no fault of their own get points – (though, i suspect some of them get a kind of vicarious pleasure) – till they run screaming to the Adobe Panjandrums to revoke these features, This effort is doubtful but workable if persons o

Today I noticed that my email address is no longer hidden.  When you hover over my name it shows the email address and then says "Private hidden from all users".It is also visible in the Profile. It was not this way 2 days ago, and I have made no changes.  What gives?

Hello,I've written a 110 page book that has 50 one minute flash videos to go with it. I would like to make an e-book with the flash content and sell it over the internet. I would like to put DRM security on it. Could someone suggest what adobe product I should buy to do this?Thanks in advance,Kidd

The index page looks fine in Preview but broken up in Layout. I tried the Import feature, and dragging the folders and files that came with the template into a new site. No luck. THANKS

Lets abuse the system so we can get rid of this stupid answer star system.

Could this dumb Jive point system possibly be responsible for being asked to create a new thread (before you're actually assisted), or are points just post-based? (instead of continuing an older, perfectly relevant thread that was "answered"--the solution offered in the answer didn't work for the same problem presented)   Why does "marking a thread as a question encourage people to answer"....oh....it says for points right above..... Yeah is that helpful?  Do we really want to get people into this "point competition" mindset?  Bring back WebX!  Jive Clearspace sucks!    The whole point system is a little pointless, can't it be disabled? It doesn't really belong on a professional company's tech forum.   (I marked this post as as a question! Who wants free points?! haha)

Just received this email from Kath H:Hello Ramón, sorry to intrude but I see you are posting in Forum  Comments.Could you please let someone know that a number of us are currently unable to log in - we are stuck in a constant loop.Thank you.KathAnd another one:... my email notifications have also stopped.Kath

I had understood that the purpose of this forum was the same as in the old forums – to comment on the forums, their content and their shortcomings.To this end, when a comment, criticism or observation has been made that should suffice. There is no need for things to degenerate into petty squabbles. I must confess to a bit of levity now and then myself, but now I wish I'd kept things factual. The amount of superfluous chat going on here makes it worse than the "other place".How are those responsible for knocking this Jive thing into shape supposed to spot the legitimate comments among all the noise?

Hi,I wanted to know if anyone else had a similiar issue. I downloaded the pattern maker plug in from Adobe and when I go to install (drag and drop into the filter folder) into photoshop CS4 I get the following error message that, "Photoshop does not recongize this file type".Thx,Jamie

1/ Abolish the point system – it's meaningless2/ Abolish the "correct" answer – it's misleadingHowever, i do not have a problem with "helpful" answers – but there should be no points and there should be no limit to the number of 'helpful" answers.

Ha! Ha!...But not so simple... snappy answers get sluggish points! Losing examples: I'm a shark, i bark.Winning exaamples: ,,,,,,,,Get the drift? First three, i like, get the points

This is becoming a daily event for me.My work flow currently is something like this:1) At the beginning of my work day, I review my e-mails and RSS reader for new messages to the Forums I monitor. 2) I'll usually find a couple to whichI feel I can contribute support. 3) I'll click on a link to fire up a browsers for a reply, since the e-mail reply feature is too buggy for my taste and there is yet any other type of replacement for NTTP type interactions. 4) Since it is usually about 24 hours since I last logged into the Forums, I am usually still logged in.  So I click a "Reply" link and bring up the form to post a message. 5) During the time I am composing the message my 24 hour login period expires.  When done typing, I click the "Post Message" control and boom.  I am told I can not post a message.  That I must login again. Fine, I need to login again, but that message that I may have spent quite some effort composing is GONE!  I can not click the back button

The index page looks fine in Preview but broken up in Layout. I have been back and forth with their T/S but it slow and unhelpful, plus the guy keeps saying everything looks fine on his Windoze machine. I have the latest iMac running Leopard.I tried the IMPORT feature, and also tried replacing the folders/files that a created with a new site in GoLive, with the files that came with the template.THANKS!

Big improvement!

I've tried several times to change my profile picture with no luck. Image is meeting all the specs. I go to upload the image and it sits for about 5 minutes before the pages moves, it then goes to my profile page and has no picture selected. Here's the pic specs:

Well the title sums it up.

when browsing topics NOT on page one, the back button which SHOULD take you back to the forum list on the page where you last were (hence the name "back" button) STILL takes you back to page one, effectivly making it near impossible to read things scrolled off the front page and navigate to the next item.jeez man, this is basic browser functionality!

Extremely misleading and irritating. Absolutely literal.Definitely, in threaded view, you have no idea how many other posts you've missed. In linear view it may not be so bad...

Breadcrumbs at the bottom of the page - very good.The box of forums to choose from in advanced search seems to have grown - the list needs work, but this is good.Photoshop Mac now has a list of useful forum links, only on the Overview page, but, good.Kanguyen in here, being as informative and helpful as possible, sharing the appropriate attitude JC has always displayed. Very good.

In Design view when I use the paste command, a file copy is created in the folder for the page i am working on and no text is pasted.  .  I need to somehow change the select setting because it is selecting the entire page file for copy and pasting.   Any Ideas would be a big help.  Thanks

as seen on the picture you can see the list of all topics i started....now where's the list or link for all topics that i am involved in?

Just an FYI for all y'all.  I notice that when I try to upload images that are larger or as large as the limit  (450px wide) it takes a year and a day (or doesn't work at all) If I resize them myself, they upload instantly.

I need to change the email address in my Adobe profile, I enter the new info in the form but then it says "an error occurred".First time on the new forum, seems quite buggy.
