How the heck are you supposed to find your way around these discussions?

[GraphicsGeezer]

I don't know who Jive is, but they've sure got me confused. I can't for the life of me even find a discussion I created and want to reply to. Why can't these guys make these forums logical like EVERY OTHER FORUM IN THE WORLD. I can't believe Adobe can be that obtuse. Maybe this is a test or something to see how much corporate stupidity we can tolerate before finding other ways to do the work we like best. If I go to my profile all I can see that looks like my stuff is something called Actions which pertains to everything I don't want to know in any random order. What a waste of time!

Sorry for the rant.

You mean the avatar along the top? I clicked it and clicked the Inbox and Activity button but the results have nothing to do with me. There are links to discussions I've never heard of.

Once the Inbox and Activity window opens, you have to click on the Inbox button. As far as I am concerned, all the rest there is just useless garbage kindly donated by Jive (the company that developed and maintains the software driving these forums).

That's terrific! Thanks!

Well, I also dislike the way these forums are organized...

Is there a link for Jive version 8?

Changing 7 to 8 in the url above resulted in a 404 error, and searching Jive.com for version 8 help was just as helpful.
