(more to come.)

Will these forums ever be dumped and the old forums reinstated so we can get back to business, communicating, exchanging ideas and information?

One can only hope.

Correct answer the_wine_snob

I rather doubt that they will be dumped.

Though I am less a fan, than I was in the "good old days," the thought of loosing so very much material, since the Jive forum makes me sweat. We lost a ton, with the ill-fated changeover, and then again with Jive. Let's please hope that Jive and Adobe get this fixed, or many product fora will have to start over, yet again.

Sorry for your issues,

Hunt

No these forums will remain in place until something new comes to fore. Even Microscum has decided to dump its NNTP newsgroups in favor of online forums with a view to getting rid of customers who are hell bent on asking silly questions. Obviously, in doing so, they have managed to drive out bonafide customers like you who have no way getting proper help anywhere.

Yes Mactopia Forum is the Replacement for the Mac Groups on NNTP. While not as bad as this, I've had to install NoSquint in FireFox and SeaMonkey and set maganification to 150% general Zoom and 100% text Zoom to make it so I could read it. needed 50 power Binoculars to see otherwise. Also very day or two there suddenly an error message comes up No Host Memory http://screencast.com/t/ODg2NGEwZDMt . Takes two three hours to work itself out.

The only thing that works decently is PHPbb and Apple's User Forums.

Phillip,

Somehow the mental visual of sea monkeys with reading glasses just cracked me up! Guess I needed a good laugh, and you provided it to me, whether intentional, or not. Just glad that I did not have a mouthful of Petite Syrah, or Zinfandel.

It will be between Slim and None .... Slim just left town. Sorry. There are none of web style Forum worth band width they take up everyone of the has bugs. The only one that seems to have the least is the one used by Apple, and ones using phpBB.

Bill, it would never cross my mind to

attempt any major or semi major change in either of my two humble computers

without taking every reasonable measure to avoid losing information in case of any catastrophe. However, the forums here experienced a very major surgery, in which tons of very valuable information were gone for ever through "unfortunate" circumstances and/or oversights. Like the excellent collection of FAQs, to mention just one case. I still cannot believe it.

Extra line breaks kindly provided by the non updated software.

I know for a fact that many of these people said at the time that, if the forums didn't revert to the old system, or at least acquire a comparable level of usabilility, they would not be contributing any more.

Others stayed and complained and a few tried to keep up but in the end were defeated by the forums' faults.

Well, whatever you do, do not succumb to the siren song of leaving for "greener pastures." The PS forum would collapse!

Hang in there,

Hunt
