Dave, do you think you could explain something to me ...?
i could try... i can't say i'll do better or worse than any of the other way more knowledgeable people here but shoot...
Thanks, that's very kind of you Dave. Sorry for asking so directly, but I'm feeling a bit helpless as I had already postet a part of that issue a year ago in the old forum and couldn't get it solved. I have been thinking about ever since, but couldn't find any answers by myself and the PS manual is mute on that point. Now with the new forums, I wanted to try my luck again, trying to explain things better this time. The question is here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/437254?tstart=0 It's so basic (about layer groups' blending modes), that I really do think there are many folks here who know the answer. But I get the impression, that for some reason I don't know, the regulars here don't like me and so won't tell me ... But I honestly don't know what I've done wrong ..... 
And I think the old forum was also accessible via NNTP, which is no longer the case, right?
At least the search system is better than the old Web interfaces (sans dejanews.com)
As for your idea for a separate Installation forum (please allow my $0.02), there are already close to 530 forums to choose from. And notice that (as of this date and for at least the past couple of months), there is a big section on installation support right on the main support page, http://www.adobe.com/support/
Users who fling past the already available and easily searchable support pages, knowledge base pages, devnet pages, etc. are the same ones posting such questions in the product forums. No amount of new forum sections or FAQ pages will curb that type of user. Of course, some of them have done their due diligence and are still experiencing problems. I don't think many regulars would keep visiting an Installation Issue forum to look for such questions, though.

Of course, the best cure is for Adobe to overhaul their installer/licensing system. Such posts could fade away by CS7 or so if CS5 is better

As a side-note: The email notifications say
"To post a reply to the thread message, either reply to this email (recommended) or visit the message page:"
But replying doesn't work, the e-mail is rejected by adobe servers
Is it working for you guys ?

With even more subforums for them to ignore, things will become less organized rather than more so.
A) Either more subforums lead to a more organized forum ==> then an additional subforum for installation/activation issues would be required.
B) Or less subforums lead to a more organized forum (what you suggest) ==> then following your logic, there shouldn't be even separate forums for separate products.
You're trying to have it both ways

again, i don't think it's "organization" that's the problem. it's "page navigation".
you know come to think of it i havent' even been in the feature request section since the fall of the forums. with all the sub forums out there on the right, they're easy to forget about..
