Thank you! I wonder if during the attempt of consolidation of the two sides, if anybody claimed "ownership" of the non-english speaking fora? ... View more

Yes, I browsed it... There is just something that I found "interesting" the mention of the non english nttp servers that would not change.. would it mean that the non-english forums would not follow the change immediately? Thanks everybody! ... View more

Yes, there are several programs to get thumbnails of raw files, some are free, like the one John mentionned. The thread could be cut in two at post #17. ... View more

Yes, from time to time, it is good to bump this thread. I notice that the situation is not optimal in the dutch forum, too, no separation by program, no hosts... And no clue as who owns them. ... View more

Indeed, when a country has a language that is not spoken all over the world, usually its citizens do speak English, or an "international language". Having many fora for every language/country could lead to segment the big international community of the "english speaking" fora... I see your point. ... View more

Yes, many thanks, Neil! It is really sad, especially since I see healthy, and well maintained fora as a good incentive for users to buy programs: they know where they could get (free) support from their peers... it is some value added to the software they want to purchase. ... View more

Don, the only POC we see on local Adobe pages are for the sales dept (contact us on top of the pages) They don't know anything about the forum (and I tried Netherlands, France, and Belgium, to realize that the latter was forwarded to the French address). I tried to contact Adobe Representatives at a Multimadia and Imaging show in Paris. The lady said that took my email address to give it to a ? Marketing Manager ? did not even know that there was a (partly) localized forum. It's been more than a month, and I have not heard anything. I wonder if we should just wait for the merging of the MM and ADBE forums to see some change... I'd really want to have split threads abilities in the French forum, as a lot of members are posting unrelated questions in existing threads... Makes it very difficult to follow discussions. ...

Sorry, lack of correct terminology rendered my message hard to understand: I was speaking about the yellow "tool tips" (don't remember the proper terminology for websites- description?) that you get when you mouseover the buttons. Yes, Adobe France should have "somebody" translate those pages, Claudio. I have not seen any complaints about it so far, but still, it looks like a half baked meal. I wish to have had the time to do as much as you did... ... View more

Ah, thanks, Claudio. I feel that more and more french-speaking users are using the resource. Unfotunately, a lot of posts are still in the wrong forum... I noticed recently that the text description of the Adobe site on top of the French forum is in Spanish... (productos, soluciones, soporte, comprar) I still think that maintaining some FAQs over there might be useful, once the forums are organized by topic (and this task is increasingly difficult each day) Halas, I'm almost sure that nothing would happen, as in some day in the future, the ex-Macromedia and current Adobe forums will be merged (Unless the work done and content posted can be ported to the hopefully new interface). Too bad what a waste of potentially free value added for Adobe, economy in customer support, etc. ... View more

Yes, I try to help you help me ;) ... View more

The problem is that most of the members in the French forum fail to find the new topic button. Indeed, in many online forums, a "create new discussion" button is available inside a thread, but not here, the only links are "post a reply", or "back to topic list"(and this one, only in the first post). It might be a very welcome addition in the US forums. In the French forum, it is very common to find, in a 10 posts thread, 3 different unrelated topics! I do think that native speaking hosts should be appointed in those forums. ... View more

I was half ironic, half serious in the second part of my message. First, I'm glad that there is a way for someone here to nuke some posts. But, then, I really wonder if someone "here" still has admin powers to the localized ones, to do the suggested actions ... View more

So, someone here does have access to the French speaking forum? I thought nobody had access anymore! Then should we point here the threads that should be splitted, moved, etc? Could we have per-application forums, it would be way better to filter what app people have a problem with. What about getting an FAQ set up? ... View more

Ouch! Lots of misunderstanding going on, or too much reading between the lines... Without speaking for him, from what I understood in this long discussion here, Claudio does not ask to be paid, nor does he want to be an host. He just would like to have, like me, whoever is in charge of the spanish- and french-speaking forums (the german side of the house seems to be OK), really take care of them, and might even have some suggestions, and would provide some help to make it better... ...

Mods are not only needed to calm down discussions, moving topics to the relevant location is useful too. There is not that much participation because those forums are new. There are way bigger participation in existing "French-speaking" forums (that are properly managed, advertized, etc.) ... View more
