Questions

Where are the email digests?Or aren't there any any more?Or am I just not understanding how to get a digest from a particular forum?

Hi,I am new to CS4 with no prior experience on Adobe programs.  I would like to create a printable document that would allow a text message to be hidden by a red textured top layer until viewed with "decoder" red glasses.  Any help in creating this or pointing me in the direction of a sample that could be broken down and the hidden text edited would be appreciated.

How does one remove a child from the display list, but then put it back, i.e. reset?  I've found that once the reference is gone and set for garbage collection trying to re-add the child results in a null reference error.  For example if I have a bunch of circle instances drawn by the user on the stage, if I add a reset button and remove the child, all well and good, but it can't come back?!in attached file, the shapes are being made by ellipses.fla, whose .swf is loaded by FreeDraw.fla.  When I hit reset I essentially want to "reload" ellipses.swf.Any help would be really appreciated!Thanks!Davidcode for ellipses:var circle:Sprite = new Sprite();var color:Number = Math.random() * 0XFFFFFF;stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);function startDrawing(e:MouseEvent):void{ stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, makeShapes);}function stopDrawing(e:MouseEvent):void{ stage.removeEventListener(M

Nothing fits in the screen you must scroll forever. Its bad enough on a 23 inch monitor but just unacceptable on a laptop.

The top participants in the testing sub-forum  just now:Yesterday I was allegedly the top participant, which is definitely not so. Hover over someone's profile and you see recent threads - but they are rarely the most recent. 'More like this' is wildly inaccurate.I just get the feeling of wheels somewhere grinding and groaning, trying to calculate all this stuff and keep it up to date. I think we need to strip this system down considerably to where the software can cope. I'm not seeing much in the way of slowness but a number of people are - can't we put the extraneous fluff out of its misery and concentrate on the essential functions?Eg the current 'More like this' by this post:It just doesn't work and must waste 'fuel' somewhere in the effort to come up with sensible entries.

Searching for "virus scanning forums ellis" fails to find a message I posted containing all of the search terms:But searching for "virus scanning forums", without the term "ellis", does find the message:Google also finds the message with the full query, "virus scanning forums ellis".

What has happened to it?

Please, please, please - break the forums down more (more 'folders'). The infinite list of all discussions makes finding anything relevant almost impossible. At minimum break things down by version, when having an issue with CS4 I don't need to search through things about CS2. As it stands the only way to find an issue is with the brute force of a forum search, there's no just looking through to see if there is an active discussion - the signal to noise ratio is too high. Take a current a discussion, "CS3 and printing to an Epson 7800 (Mac OS10.5)", it's path looks like: i Support:User to User Forums:Adobe Product Forums:Adobe Photoshop:Photoshop Macintosh I'd like it to be: i Support:User to User Forums:Adobe Product Forums:Adobe Photoshop:Photoshop Macintosh:Version CS3:Technical Issues:Printing:Printer Setups Or something like that - you get the idea. And while we are at it, the search only needs to return one hit for any given discussion - pages of hits from the same discussi

When you post a question and include an attachment like a DXDIAG.TXT, is it NORMAL to have to wait MORE than 6 hours for it to become available? This is ludicrous. You can better send attachments by snail-mail than posting here on the forum.

Since the switch over it seems that less people are coming to these forums or at least less questions are getting asked. Has anyone else noticed this too?

This threadhttp://forums.adobe.com/message/1921550contains references to UNC paths. In the web forum, these get translated to links with href=#, and when the post arrives as an email, all the message contains is the '#' and not the '\ \server \ share' I would have expected to see. Could someone please ask the powers that be to rectify this?Noel

...continued from the discussion in the "Spam" thread after John C added the "URL", "Bio" and "Products/SysInfo" fields, here:http://forums.adobe.com/message/1930765#1930765"Edit Profile should now show places for a URL, a brief (1 line or so) bio, and a list of products you use."I know what follows is merely an academic observation, but it's still kind of indicative of the attention to detail paid by the Jive programmers. Thi post is meant to act as a heads-up for users editing their profiles, and as something that should be passed along to our good pals on the Jive team.I was concerned about the "...brief (1 line or so)..." limit for the "Bio" field. I wanted to test the character limit. I entered the following string, but WITHOUT the spaces (for a total of 521 characters):a123456789 b1234567890 c123456789 d123456789 e123456789 f123456789 g123456789 h123456789 i123456789 j123456789 k123456789 l123456789 m123456789 n123456789 o123456789 p123456789 q123456789 r123456789 s123456789 t123

Here's some more problems:1) Sending text like this: " [ No Parargraph ] style " causes the "No Paragraph" to become a false link2) I'm getting a lot of "& nbsp:" at the beginning of lines of code when I enclose code in [ code ][ /code ] blocks (copied and pasted from BBEdit).

John,I would like to pose a problem I have:I joined the webx Forums as pjonesCET under my email address (starts as pjones1@) and my name Phillip Jones.My Adobe Store Account is PjonesCET, with the same Name.Before the webX system died I changed my USER ID to PjonesCET with the same name.If I sign in under my email address now. It comes up Properly as PjonesCET /Phillip JonesHowever; If I sign in under ther USER ID PjonesCET It shows up as:Pjones, CET/ name is PHILLIP JONESThis was the Use rname I had when I joined the Macromedia Newsgroups Related to Studio8/DreamWeaver.Is there any possible way that both these can be merged under the PjonesCET ID I now user and do away the other. I don't care whether the post count I had with the other account carries over or not.I just want to use my USER ID PjonesCET and be signed in as PjonesCET as I currently am.

I can't find him in the people list - anybody seen him around or know if he joined the new forums?

(http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.xxxxxxxx/ etc)Will the new forums eventually redirect old-style forums urls?  For instance, http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5c4e8/ should redirect to http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom/lightroom_sdk (etc).  My bookmarked threads, links within old threads, google search results (haha) are becoming largely useless...

Hi all,I cannot start any of the adobe softwares in cs4 with non-administrator account in my client machine. I already have full control rights for all the folder and harddisk, however I still cannot start any of the softwares. When I tried to start photoshop or any cs4 software, there will be an error prompt saying that the licensing for adobe product has stopped working and asked me to restart the com. I tried restarting, but it doesn't work at all.I tried calling the adobe support and the service person said that cs4 softwares can only work with administrative account. I cannot have everyone in my work environment to have administrator account, is there any other solution to this problem. I think this is a major security flaw in cs4. Adobe cannot expect everyone to have administrator right in an enterprise environment. Please help. Thanks

...it kills the "Full Text Editor" from loading. And since the link for composing a message in HTML  is wrapped in the Javascripted F.T.E., I can't access it, either.I just had the fleeting idea to try disabling Java, and then Javascript (and then both) in my browser (Firefox 3.0.x on Mac OS X 10.4.11) to see what would happen.SUMMON-A-MITCH!!! The pages load almost as fast as they used to in the WebX forums.Too bad it kills my ability to also participate.

I'm currently appearing as having joined the forums this April, but I've been around since around 2005 in my previous incarnation. Anyone know how I could get that updated?

Selecting a specific forum from the list of all forums is a little difficult.  The list box is small, so you can only see a few at a time as you scroll through a list that contains many dozens of subforums.  Also, the order that the forums are listed in that list box is hard to understand (seems arbitrary?).  I had to scroll through the entire list line by line carefully reading each one because I had no way of knowing when to expect the entry I was looking for.Also, just accessing the "advanced search" (or whatever you want to call the ability to search only within one or more specific forums) is a little more difficult than it used to be.  I would prefer it if a link to that page was part of the standard forums-browsing UI, say a second button next to the "Search Forums" text-entry field.

Hi Adobe Forum,I have participated in Indesign Scripting forum, I have answered Exporting to INX question, they have accepted my answer, but i didn't receive points.Regards,Sudar

In crummy IE 8.That's right, at the bottom of a multi-page post, you can't even click to the last page (or any page) because the links are OVERWRITTEN by that other link.Come on, that's terrible, Testing 101 for dummies would have caught that! "Jive clearspace" sucks.

Another little niggle - I'm set to 30 (tried others but they don't stick). But a 16 post thread goes on to 2 pages.

I can't imagine that the executives who make the real decisions about what resources, and how much, to channel toward these forums aren't already aware—to some degree—of the concepts outlined in the article I'll  paste below.But it sure wouldn't hurt for them to read this story from the NYTimes (via Slashdot) about the enormous value—both in a goodwill sense and in a financial sense—that peer-driven support sites such as this one adds to a company. According to the article, they figure "...a vibrant community can easily save a company MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR.[emphasis mine. Phos....]"That said, it seems to me that it sure would make a lot of sense to pay VERY close attention to the suggestions and complaints of the so-called "super-users." This type of regular contributor should not be made to feel like an annoyance for complaining or making suggestions; indeed they should be made to feel as if they are valuable. Because that's EXACTLY what they are, and in a very real financ
