what's going on now?!!

They must be messin' around with the forums. A few minutes ago I was able to navigate just as before, i.e. absolutely no logins required and my ID was shown correctly at the top. In addition, there was no "COMING SOON! Were updating Adobe Forums ..." line at the top so there was no way to get to this forum.

A few minutes later I tried again and things were back to 'normal', continuious logins--came into each forum as 'guest'--IOW messed up :)

I was away and missed all the excitement yesterday.

Today, I was able to just enter the forums; in this forum, all threads/posts are marked as new, though; in other forums things are normal.

>Ramón G Castañeda:I had to log in more times in the last six minutes that in the last six years combined.

Ditto.

I was finally able to link my forum acct to my Adobe ID or at least I think I did because I received a 'Done' message.

Now each time I visit a forum or return to a forum I come in with guest access and must login again---what a pain!

And each time I post I must login again as soon as I hit POST MESSAGE. If I don't get to the login quick enough the post is cancelled--text and all. What a DOUBLE PAIN!

Fortunately, editing doesn't appear to require the login upon hitting POST MESSAGE.

Here's hoping they get this straightened out soon...

Oh yeah, everytime I do anything I must accept the fact that the 'page' I'm going to has both secure and nonsecure items before I can continue...more pain :)

It's worrying. :(

It puts you in a loop. Even after you connect your Adobe ID to the login it returns you to a login screen where it asks you to do it again. You can click "Do it later" to get out of the loop. So, I dont know if my login and ID are connected or not.

I dont want to sound too harsh, but this is not a good sign that this change is being properly managed. Because of the fisaco last time, there is high skepticism that this will happen smoothly. Wont matter how good the new fora sw is if it isn't professionally executed.

I tried so many combinations that I can't remember how I got in!

... and I'm sure if I get logged out it'll all happen again.

Yes, that part is supposed to happen. It won't affect anything here. But when the messages from the two current systems are brought together in the new one the Adobe ID will be used to get them all attributed to the right people. On the new system you will use your Adobe ID to log in and will be identified by the Screen Name on your Adobe ID (which you are now able to change).

The first time I was logged off today, I was asked to link my user ID to my Adobe account, which I did.

I think that the clocks on the servers are out of synch and that is throwing off the cookies. The server folks have been alerted.

I had to log in more times in the last six minutes that in the last six years combined . :D
