Question

+1 Jive bug: Jived up page and "next" buttons COMPLETELY broken

Yep, I'm on another Adobe forum right now, clicking "Next" (both the top and bottom link), and clicking page "2".  They all do the same thing-- it scrolls to the top of the screen, and STAYS on page 1.

Meanwhile, THIS forum works perfectly fine, both next and page links.

Chrome 2.0.172.33

"Google Chrome is up to date", it says. A simple page link should work.

But even if it wasn't up to date, this inconsistent and seemingly random behavior of JiveJax (Jive's garbage implementation of Ajax) is completely buggy and not production worthy.  Not production worthy, even in a Dunkin Donuts web discussion forum.  Heck, even more irrelevant and useless--not production worthy of being used as forum software for Congress!

So is this a new bug, or has it also been reported 50 times?  Funny that ever since I decided to stop ignoring weird stuff like this (page reloads tend to fix this stuff), posting bug reports instead (perhaps I should just say just posting here instead, since Adobe isn't reading any "reports"), I've noticed the bug count pile even higher than I would have imagined in such a short time.  It's like I just learned to tune out all the weird stuff, hit reload, and move on.  Is this really how it's supposed to be?

Yep, a reload of the page fixed it. Wow..

    Good news, everyone!

    I just saw the same exact thing happen in Opera, too!  So it's not a Chrome specific problem, it's just a major bug in the forum software itself!

    Again, reloading the page fixed it.  Also the initial page only had a link for pages 1 and 2 (which didn't work at all), but when I reloaded I ended up with links up to page 5, which worked.

    Great detective work!

    try OmniWeb if your on Macintosh, or see if they have a windows version.  or try Windows version of Safari if on Pc and see if you can get it to reproduce on those.

    I'm tired of trying new browsers, I'll make do with Opera and Chrome....IE if it's the last resort.  Jive sucks so bad...

    BY THE WAY. Here's a little bit of interesting information. I just had to try posting this message THREE times before it went up. The first two times it said:

    "An unexpected error has occurred"

    (and that was it, blank white space below)

    I'm lucky the auto-recovery feature worked to bring the post back. Now I see why Jive implemented it-- it lets you recover from all of the other bugs.

    +1 Jive bug, again.

    Reporting  bugs on unsupported browsers is not helpful to the forums. IF anyone is attempting to use the forums to track bugs for fixing, then you are making their job more difficult. I get it, you like Chrome. If its not supported and causes issues, then it is your problem and not Jive's nor Adobe's. I use an unsupported program. I use NetNewsWire on a Mac. It causes me fewer issues than Safari. Strangely, it is based upon the same Webkit that Safari uses. Go Figure. However, if it caused more issues, then it would be my problem not Adobe's. I do use several browsers and different OSs depending upon the task and application I need to use. It is my problem to use a supported system, not the other way around.
