Questions

Looking at my profile, I clicked on "Change Avatar" and uploaded my own photo.  Now I can see it on the selection menu (after all the cartoon characters) but I can't select it.  Above it it says "Pending."  Pending what?  How can I make it active?  It is the same picture but smaller (lower resolution) than my main profile picture.

According to the forum list, this thread is marked as answered:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/423893?tstart=0However, the bar over the OP is contradictory:This Question is                             Answered1 "correct" answer available (10 pts) 2 "helpful" answers available (5 pts)              and all posts are unmarked in terms of stars.This may be the way forward: we let the software decide and get rid of point giving.

It would be nice if there were a place in "Your stuff" that listed all of the forums you visit regularly. Clicking on "Browse forums" brings up an unwieldy list each time. And the History link is too short. Perhaps a way to "pin" forums in the bottom half of the history list would be the best way.

I replied to two different topics.  I went back to the topic list page and I was surprised to NOT see the second topic at the top of the list.  This is a great way for folks NOT to see a reply. 

About twice a day I seem to be logged out, and have to login again. The 'Remember me' box is always checked.Does anybody else have to login all the time...?[Win XP SP3; Firefox 3.0.9]

Okay, this is very goofy.  I generally have 3 tabs open for these forums.  I refreshed the photography forum tab and it loaded up the forum comments page!  I thought it was just me not paying attention and accidently loading up a different page, but it's happened a number of times before and today I saw it happen!Interestingly, I was going to say there isn't any rhyme or reason to it, but most times it's the photograhy forum tab that is refreshing to one of the other tabs: one time I recall it was the Lounge that loaded up and this time it's forum comments ...anyone else experiencing this strange behavior??

How do I update the Appendix from 5 to A?

I tried a using a small jpeg picture as avatar but it turned out even more blurry by the time it was approved.  Then tried a clip art that was 165 X 165 pixel.  When I reduced image size to 128 X128 it just got more blurry.So question is how does one get a sharp avatar?  I have only CS3 to work with.  Some of the pictures, and all of the clip art  seem relatively sharp.

Today, for the first time, I went to 'Your Stuff' - I've seen it mentioned somewhere here in a thread.I was surprised to see that I had several Private Messages waiting. This should really be indicated somewhere more visible, i.e. as soon as I login. In fact there should be an indicator visible anywhere in the forums.

A few minutes ago, I edited a not very recent message of mine that hadn't received a direct answer. To my surprise, the original date and time of posting of my message were changed to those of edition, leading to the absurd that all subsequent messages became older than my edited post, as this remained in its place. What's more, until a new message was posted in that thread, my edited post became the "Last post" for the software, appearing as such in the list of topics. And I was taken to it, not to the last post, if I clicked on the "time of posting" shown in the list, or the Last Post button at the top of any page of the thread.In my opinion, not a very clever or useful new feature.And I was kicked out of the forums when I was finishing writing this message

Hi surfers,How to change work area color? in Flash.Thanks in Advance.

Hello;What are the exact methods for posting by e-mail?  Do the Sender or From fields need to be the proper registered account?  Should the quoted text of the original notification e-mail be included?I recieved a 553 error trying to make my first post by replying to a notification e-mail.  Here is a snippet:                   The mail system <clearspace-1440542950-kWu-2-81rr@mail.forums.adobe.com>: host     10.137.24.42[10.137.24.42] said: 553     <clearspace-1440542950-kWu-2-81rr@mail.forums.adobe.com> address unknown.     (in reply to RCPT TO command) I was trying to post a response to the notification for http://forums.adobe.com/message/1912169#1912169 .I had removed the quoted text of the notification.  Gmail sets the "From" field of my e-mails to the proper e-mail address registered with adobe's system, but it leav

Wasted time attempting to get in earlier and kept getting this:

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

I have just wasted 5 minutes trying to find if this problem has been already reported, but finally gave up.The "quote last message" button in the box for posting replies works perfectly in my Mac/Firefox 2, but does absolutely nothing in my Vista/Explorer 7. Anyone else?

Either at home (DSL) or work (shared T1) the first forum page I go to in a session (session is from opening IE7 to closing IE7) will open with "error on page" just about half the timeThis means the mark all as read command won't work... at least until I do a page refresh and the page loads properlyIt doesn't matter if I start at this discussion area, or in an actual product forum... I get a loading error about half the timeOnce I do a refresh, so that page loads OK, going on to a different forum does not cause problemsI wonder if this is some other effect of the cookie not working correctly?Sigh... I do SO wish that webx had been up to the task of running all the Adobe forums

When I hover over an avatar in a discussion, I get a little popup showing bits of the poster's profile, including a picture. But it seems to be the avatar yet again - wouldn't it make more sense if the profile popup showed the profile picture? That way, the avatar does its duty of providing a quick visual indication of the poster, whereas the popup will show you what he looks like if he's put an image of himself on his profile. Using resources to load the same image twice in just about the same place on the page strikes me as daft. What do you think?Noel

love the new forums... but hate the performance.  Keep in mind my internet connection is 20MB/S download speed, there are times the pages wont even finish loading and you have to stop and reload again and/or very slow loading times.  Of course, there are times the performance is as expected, but rarely.  I hope Adobe plans to support the forums with better hosting.

I've just installed the stylish script that changes the color of the "updated" indicator in the Discussion list, from here:http://userstyles.org/styles/16994I was wanting to change the red to be a bit brighter, more tomato-red (it looks more like burgundy on my monitor). Don't want to get into calibration discussion, though! I've been looking at this chart to determine a better color,http://html-color-codes.com/but if I change the 600 to something else I get quite unexpected colors.Could somebody set me straight on whether the color numbers in that chart should work, and that it's just a matter of changing the number in this line:    color:#600 !important;to, say the number "300", or am I way off in left field.Thanks much,Sheila

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/419236 - the poster inserted a jpg attachment, but I cannot find how to view that attachment. Left-clicking, right-clicking, double-clicking... all does not do anything?Does anybody here know how to view an attachment in this new forum? I've seen this kind of unviewable attachments a couple of times, although some attachments pose no problem, as this
