Let the first tests begin...

> And you Login HOW?

When I couldn't login by any means, I clicked on the upper My Account button, was asked to login, and I did using my Adobe ID and password.

...and...

I just posted a message on the new forum and it isn't there.

EDIT: I made a mistake. Another message I actually posted did appear.

Could not agree more with Bo's #2 & #3 in post 14.

Aaarrrgh!

(0) The current speed is neither worse nor better whan the present (official) forums. However, I'll bet the traffic is very light.
(1) I am once again Bob Peters2! Crap!
(2) The entire left column is essentially wasted space. Place the posters name somewhere at the beginning of a pose a reclaim the left column for something productive.
(3) The entire right column is a GROSS waste of space. All those buttons/links that appear at the head of the right-hand column should be elsewhere. The current layout is not very efficient.
(4) And a minor nit: Do we REALLY need the cartoonish 'bag' which contains the message. Really? Is this a comic book?

And you Login HOW?

Much quicker visit from a Vista/Explorer machine.

1. This time received as guest, could login directly.

2. Quote button still not working; method for quoting used here does nothing.

3. Slow.

Addition: had to relogin to post this message (?)

First quick trial in my Mac, =S 10.3.9, Firefox 2.0.0.20, clicking on the link above.

1. Much too slow compared with this.

2. I am welcomed by my name, cannot login (nothing happens), and cannot post new messages.

3. Too much wasted space.

4. I think I can survive with the design, not so bad as I expected.

5. I saw Acrobat forums in French, German and Japanese (?) but not in Spanish. Not localized forums for other products.

6. I miss very much the (4 of 10) feature (post number 4 of a total of 10).

7. Found a way to log in. Nice to be able to include pics. Too slow to post.

End of my free time; will continue later on.

>I think it has to do with the smily face images.

Definitely not. Haven't used them, but I've seen the pesky log-in screen umpteen times, usually before trying to post at all.

If you go to "More like this" you can end up in another forum without realising it. And I couldn't get back easily.

I'm probably missing a lot though.

You could be right Harbs. It does seem a tad faster at the moment.

I can see that quotes are being used but for the life of me, can't figure out how to quote a part of someone's post.

And the "view as PDF button in the left nav doesn't do anything but produce an empty text file.
