Or aren't there any any more?

Or am I just not understanding how to get a digest from a particular forum?

From all the comments I've gathered here and a number of other threads;

it appears this functionality is simply not going to

happen. Part of the problem, apparently, was in the adoption of the

ClearSpace platform where the digest function was removed - at least

that's what I've been led to believe from the plethora of conversations

we've had.

Can you point us to the comments that say this is not going to happen? An early post in this thread, John added it to a wish list.

Personally I do not have a problem with the new forums and the layout. I just feel that the lack of e-mail digests is a "missing" feature that needs to be rectified. There is just too much traffic on most of the forums, Photoshop, Premiere, Dreamweaver etc. To keep up with your favorite topics. Besides having the digests allowed me to see comments on some threads I would never have followed and over time I found some real "nuggets" this way!

Still gotta say I miss them!

Sorry Dave, I don't quite follow the tone of your reply?

To clarify my stance, I like the new forums!

However, I have only one issue and that is that what I consider an essential feature has been removed. As such I am discinclined to use this service the way I have been (for many years).

So in my opinion the ommission of this feature is not "fine"!

I think that Adobe should find a way to add this feature to this forum (even though I understand the forum software does not support this feature natively).

So one can only hope! =)

Please bring back the digests. I turned on "email notification", built my Outlook Rules - and in only a few hours have discovered that it is not very useful to me, for the same reasons as described by the previous posters.

The new forum is really pretty but I am struggling with how slow it is. Maybe I am spoiled with a T-1 and a relatively new PC but I just can't spend so much time simply navigating. I hope this improves with time.

and so people learn that "pretty" is wonderful, except when it's useless.

I gotta admit, I am having withdrawls not getting my daily fix of the digests. It was my primary learning time and I don't have time to go trolling through the forums one by one to look for replies and new topics.

The digest was soo much easier!!!

Please add this as my vote for the daily e-mail digests. They were a wonderful way of learning from a wide range of users with different points of view.

Boy I already miss them!

Thanks,

ACK!! I thought it was like the old forums and I subscribed to several of my old favorites. I just went to look at my inbox and I already have 20 e-mails. I am going to have to unsubscribe from receiving e-mail notifications altogether.

Jive Clearspace does not offer digests. I will put it on the wish list.

Thanks!

I am trying top find a work flow that works. My old one was digests, and I am perfectly willing to give them up, but the subject line indexing for email makes that unusable as a way to review lots of posts and the on line forum itself is slow for me. (I still think the javascript constant activity is a problem. I tried to customize the "my view" to add forums, and if that option is selected, my P4 sticks at 100% doing something in internet explorer for minutes at a time with navigation frozen.) The navigation options make going from forum to forum difficult. I have a been a regular contributor in the Encore forums, but try checking each of those forums when you have no idea what is in each one without selecting it. Even book marking each one to make it somewhat easier is timeconsuming. The bottom line for me has been that I have used all my time trying to find a way to work with the system. So far I am still looking.

Also, email replies to the forums/discussions I've subscribed to are bouncing. It appears to be an adobe address, but it is a jive server that is reporting a 553 error.

Have been saving and searching e-mail digests for at least 5 years now. Very time efficient method for diagnosing and finding fixes or workarounds for issues with the Adobe Creative Suite. Great tool for helping the 500+ users we support in the U.S.

I scan the digests daily on the train and usually have an answer to our designer's questions before they ask them. If I can't find an answer by searching my archives, I have enough info to ask a semi-intelligent question and get a quick response.

It would appear that the current forum format requires searching through the forums while on-line, or reading through multiple e-mails daily to find that gem of info I can save for our users. Doesn't seem very efficient and will cost me a lot more time.

Please, bring back the digests.

Not sure that is available. If people request it, and the technology can do it, it'll likely show up in time. The more people ask, the more apparent the need/desire.
