    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.

    Look in the Photoshop Forum right now and you will see that Chris Cox (a senior Adobe Engineer) is out there on his own having to answer questions and getting almost no help from the people who have always been more than ready to provide support.

    Absolutely true, and it's because Dave and Claudio and I and the other Usual Suspects have been trying to debug the forums, which means wasting a huge amount of time HERE instead in Photoshop Windows.  The fact that the software sux means that it takes even longer to say it sux.  So we will have to let CC take care of telling people how to reset their prefs and put their Wacom stylus away from the pad.


    I have just washed my hands of the New Adobe Forums: the new format is too slow and cumbersome and I am no longer willing to waste my time answering User's questions in them.

    Adobe want their Forums this way? Fine.

    May they find other willing Helpers because I am not intending to be one of them.
