I tried clearing the cache. No help.  I noticed on the Firefox forum site that someone asked a question regarding the 'two click' back page problem, 4 months ago. I have now noticed that this is happening on one site, MSNBC, but not on the other news sites I frequent or anyplace else.   Now I just double click when I'm on that news site. It was happening before on the CBS News site and fine on the MSNBC.  Try and figure that one out...   It's very annoying.

Jerry Mann wrote: Have to get this off my chest. I think the entire Forums layout is bad. I had to search forever to figure out how to post in the Adobe forum. I thought I was logged in, as at the top right it said "Welcome, Jerry Mann." But apparently that is not good enough for the Forums page: you have to log in separately in the upper left of page. And it was not clear that I had to do this.The courtesy of a note that says, "Log in to Adobe Forums to post a reply!" would be very much appreciated, but way too much to ask for, obviously. Riduculous. And furthermore, spell check should automatically highlight mispellings, not have to search for the button to turn it on. AND furthermore, I tried to "Submit product  feedback" (bottom of page) and this took me to Jive's site, but there  was NO WAY to comment there. Wonderful. The Jive software has been delighting people for over two years now; many hundreds were so delighted they left and never came back! In addition to those, the powers-that-be also banned a good number (many of them very knowledgable contributors) and though these banned folks could, of course, come back under new names, most have chosen not to do so. Though many, detailed complaints have been made about this out-of-date and buggy software that Adobe somehow seems to feel it must use (and Jive somehow seems to feel it has no obligation to fix), problems (like random line breaks) just don't seem to get fixed. ...

That aside, truly, it is remarkable that the problems with the forum software remain more-or-less unfixed.

Find another way to fix the spam.  If you have to move away from this POS Jive, then do it.  But put the features back! I (as well as many others in all likelihood) agree completely, but I'd have to say that after almost two years of this Jiveness, with all the dissatisfaction that has been expressed, with all the bugs (like the random line break) that are still there, it would seem as though Adobe Corp could care less. They are seemingly unable to fix - or to have fixed - the bugs in this software, nor do they seem to be interested in upgrading, or switching to something else. ... View more

The one in use has a large green frame with the words Your avatar and (Delete). When I click another avatar, it gets a frame round it. Below that is the option of uploading a new avatar. If it looks the same for you, I am afraid it is a matter of delay, and I hope John/someone will look into it. John? Someone? Well, seems like I'm a bit of a dip! I guess what happened was I uploaded the new avatar & expected that, when it was approved, it would replace the old one. What seems to instead be the case is that the new avatar, when approved, became available amongst the options. So now I have my new avatar. The joy...... simply inexpressible. (Thank you Jacob! ) ...

I always wind up using the "quote" feature to insert code. Am I doing something wrong? It really is annoying. Also, another annoying "quirk" of this forum is the fact that when I do start a discussion or even when I might answer one, When I type a few characters, the cursor does a hard enter automatically. I can be in the middle of a word and all of a sudden I am on the next line, which forces me to backspace so I can continue typing the word. Just little things like this that makes me wonder whats going on. I would think that little bugs like this should be worked out by the administrators of this site forum. I belong to quite a few forums, and this is the only one I have issues like this with. But, this is the best resource for Coldfusion, so I wish someone would address these issues. Thanks! There is an 'insert raw html' option (right next to the smiley) in the reply box. A quick test I just did on a simple piece of HTML worked, so hopefully it will work for whatever HTML you want to insert. The phantom line break has been around for almost two years now.

For what it's worth, the line breaks annoy the snot out of me too. I've  simply learned to use the backspace key. A LOT.

Personally I don't find it odd at all. For example, Snap On makes excellent tools that are used by mechanics to repair cars. But they don't run an auto repair shop. Likewise, Sears Craftsman has a whole line of different Saws, Drill presses, Lathes and other woodworking tools. But they don't have a manufacturing shop that creates and sells hand made furniture that was created using these tools. Fair enough & point taken, but perhaps it can be agreed that if they are going to use someone else's wares, said wares should not be an embarassment to Adobe nor a pain to the users. ... View more
