    Phos±four dots:

    Good grief!  I just noticed that there are horizontal scroll bars in your original post.  Why didn't the text simply wrap at the right margin? Any idea why they are present?

    Or is this just something weird about Safari(3.2.1) running on OS X(10.5.6)?

    Heh! That's amusing.

    My original post is nothing but an image I created in Photoshop. If you were running Firefox with the "Stylish" add-on, and the custom style sheet for these forums installed you'd be able to widen your browser window, which—because of Stylish—would have allowed the main message content column to also expand horizontally, and thehorizontal scrollbar would disappear.

    Apparently, you view using Trebuchet or something very similar, or you may have been scratching your head over why the text in my thread starter post looked so different from the rest of the messages.

    Since the original is an image I can understand why the scroll bars would be present.

    DonRicklin:

    I don't understand why you do NOT have scroll bars since the post is an image.  Are you certain you are seeing all of it?

    Here's something I find really odd...

    It appears that almost all the Adobe forums I have bookmarked in a folder on my Firefox browser toolbar have updated their appearance by adopting the newer, uglier Adobe favicon.

    Except for THIS forum (The AI/Windows form no loger exists, per se)...I see the new favicon in the URL/Location bar at the top of my browser, but the old favicon has remained persistent in the folder.

    Have a look:

    Adobe just turned into ToysRUs …

    and their new web sites and Forums are obviously targeting those at a similar stage of mental development.

    First of all, Ann...I agree with just about all of your negative assessments. We don't have a problem there. I do, however think you're wasting your effort and time by repeating your rants in a hundred different ways and in  a dozen different threads. If that makes you feel better, hey, have at it. Just keep your surprise to yourself about the fact that people might get tired of your badgering and tell you to STFU occasionally.

    But you kind of missed my point: Adobe didn't "JUST" turn into "Toys-R-Us", and that's the sole reason I spent the time to make that image and spell it out.

    I saw it coming a long time ago, little by little, as I'm sure many others did. But it was in dribs and drabs, a tiny little atomic-powered locomotive that no small protests were going to stop. It's now to the point where no matter howoften and how loud any of us protest, the tracks have been spiked to the railbed...and there's no shutting down that atomic train's power plant.

    We're FKD, and Adobe doesn't give a SHT.

    Incidentally I wonder why Bridge and ACR have been hived off from the PS collective.

    That has always been the case.  Though the Bridge started off as the File Browser in Photoshop 7.x, when it appeared as a new wntity in CS2 it was a common way of communicating between the suite applications.  It is no longer just Photoshop's.

    Camera Raw is the engine that also drives raw development in Lightroom.  Frankly ACR 5.2 (and later) was the only reason I upgraded to Photoshop 11.x, an otherwise unremarkable "upgrade".  It deserves its own forum.

    OK, then let's have them a bit easier to find. They could be included as links on the initial PS page here:
