Have never seen this, are you on a Mac?

[Kath-H]

I am, but I've never seen that.

[the_wine_snob]

Harm's on a PC, as am I. I'm using IE7, but I do not know his browser. It happens to me about 1:10 threads, and usually over the last post, though not always.

It is like this on IE7 and now on IE8. Except sometimes after 5 mins or so it will correct itself to the way it should look. Sometimes it doesn't.

Ya, I know buy a mac.

[Phillip_M_Jones]

No! use what you wish. Try something different than IE8, there's versions of FireFox, SeaMonkey, Opera, and even Safari  3 and maybe even 4 for PC's.

you know, if I had to guess, I would say it's a CSS issue.  Somewhere along the line, it properly reloads.

would it it be css file within IE  or sent from the forum.

Wonder if the usercontent script used to make the forum width 100% would clear the problem up. :

Note:  I did not write this code.

#jive-wrapper {

width:100% !important;

background-color: #ffffff !important;

background-image: none !important;

}

Note:  I did not write this code.

But it works with Opera, OmniWeb, Safari, FireFox, SeaMonkey, iCab. Why not IE.

[greenjumpyone]

not sure.  Maybe it's the way IE parses the code ... maybe it's just the code.  From what I recall seeing on the forum, the site doesn't pass many of the code tests for properlly coded sites ...

[Phillip_M_Jones]

You mean they didn't run the site pages through the w3c site to check for properly written code?

As rinky dink as my website looks to most of you, I ran all through the w3c validators.

[greenjumpyone]

I just ran forums.adobe.com through the W3C CSS validator and it came up with 435 errors.       

[Phillip_M_Jones]

No wonder it doesn't work any better than it does.

[dave_milbut]

there's lots of things that will mess up the validators. they can't be relied on unless you're in complete control of the code. and they can't always be relied on even then when you're using server side tech to generate the pages...

[urfixable]

I don't even know why I am writing this... I have found that no matter what, with Adobe, recently it means nothing.  I have owned Adobe Products

for years and many of them... they have HAD great tech support and a great product line.  Then came CS4,  I have tried to load in a new machine running

Vista 64 and couldn't install it.  After 6 tech support people and 12 hours on the phone it never did install.  I tried to return the product and followed the

advice of the Customer Servcie rep and waiting 7 days with NO reponse or fulfilment of the return request.  I called them again and it took 59 minutes to

get a RMA number.  What I am beginning believe is that Adobe needs a computer and software that tracks what they are doing... What ever happened

to #1 ...ADOBE... I am very disappointed... I guess I will try another video ediiting software system... I sure feel discouraged, I don't like leaving a excellent

product line... but they give me no choice.

[Ansury]

That's pretty bad. Stupid question but I assume you tried the forums for assistance too?

Nevermind, after the jiving of the forums, there's probably nobody left to help anyway.  Come on Adobe, let us have our tech community back and DUMP this crap forum software for something that works.

[dec9]

Wow,

I just downloaded a IE 8 compatibility update that showed up on my windows 7 RC and it has fixed this issue. I have not downloaded the fix on my other computer that has Vista 64 bit.

I opened about 15 threads and all the blue words are now showing in the correct location.

Guess I was just happy to see the blue words in the correct area.

Posting second reply because I'm tired of hitting the back button to see other posts to reply to them....... +1 CRAP Jive feature.

If the Jive morons didn't use such retardedly "fancy" techniques, it would never have been a problem. Plain old HTML links which work on every browser ever written (and display in the correct location) aren't good enough for these clowns...

Which still "says it all" (the broken part).

[the_wine_snob]

Yes, but it's a BIG broken image icon!

(Does relate to 'still a mess after all this time though. )

[Ansury]

I know.  I considered starting a new "problem" thread that gets updated every time I see this problem, needless to say it would be updated once a day at least.

Adobe

FIX THE DAMN LOGIN PROBLEM

What's taking so long????

[Phillip_M_Jones]

Say you are tired of login in over and over?

[Fr__Watson]

Say you are tired of login in over and over?

Just a tadge.

Today, Jive's bug du jour seems to be to randomly truncate threads (i.e., I can't see past certain posts). It only does it with some threads, and only some of the time. Earlier today, I couldn't see the avatars. I almost passed out from the deprivation; my forum experience was less "rich" than I've become accustomed to!

(This is beyond pathetic. I hear Adobe is, like, a major software company, but to have this excrementious forum persisting in its excrementiality after months and months (and after many, many, many complaints) is.....um..... beyond pathetic!)

I blame...... Bush!

(Sorry..... that just popped out. I really blame Obama. )

(OK, I lied..... it's really Bill Clinton's fault! )
