Jacob speaks tongue in cheek, I think.

The "other side" is the forums that were Macromedia software, before the merger with Adobe. This side is the part that was always Adobe. The "other side" is built with a tool that Macromedia owned (ColdFusion) which is now an Adobe program. Naturally, the product managers of that tool feel that all the forums should be using the in-house tool, rather than the platform that "this side" resides on.

The problem is that most of us who use this forum hate the other side application and presentation. Several attempts have been made to merge the two (always to the other format). The first time complaints in advance aborted the plan, a second time there was an actual changeover that failed miserably and resulted in a reversion back to the status quo.

However, it sounds like they are going to go through the process again, which will be a pity. I know the last time they changed, I left the forums, and I suspect that many other experienced users did as well, depriving the forum of its greatest asset.

But hey, a crappy set of forums running on our own software is better than a good and useful set of forums running on purchased software, isn't it. So what if support costs triple because volunteer users have fled the forums.

Jime,

>Why is this not the place for that?

Because this is on the other side seen from the other side.

But please do not tell anyone about us.

Ramone,

I've continued to look for the proper place to let Adobe know about the problem and it leads me back to here. I clicked Contact from within the Fireworks forum and it took me to http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/contact.html. If you click the Feedback tab you'll see a link that says Adobe.com Forums. I clicked that and it led me right here. And I just noticed that right at the top of the list of threads it says:

'This forum is for posting feedback about the forum site or to ask questions about how the forums work. It is not for program-related questions. For example, don't post Photoshop or Acrobat questions here.'

So I'm trying to give feedback about the searching problem so Adobe can look into the problem. Why is this not the place for that? I just want to let somebody know so if you could help me find the proper place, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jim

>Thanks for the explanation Ramone.

You're welcome, Jime. ;)

Thanks for the explanation Ramone. I wasn't sure how to let them know about the problem so it's just been frustrating. I used a Contact button on the other forum to get to here so I figured this was the place to let them know. I'll try the one above.

Jim

Jim,

Unfortunately, the Fireworks forum is over on the other side, the former Macromedia forums now at adobe.com, not here at adobeforums.com, the old Adobe forums.

The former Macromedia forums now at adobe.com have their own forum discussions and feedback forum. The folks here can't do much about those other forums on the other side.

Additionally, these are user to user forums, not a channel to address Adobe. Use the Contact button at the top of this page if you want to address Adobe directly.
