    I tried to come in to see if there had been any progress since my last visit, and this is what I got:


    As seen in the following screenshot, the address shown by Firefox corresponds to this forum, but I landed in the Flash Media Server forum instead. This is progress, I am quite sure I had never seen this before...

    If by "progress" you mean "progress in reverse", yes! Yes it is...

    (You're being exceptionally forgiving.)

    I have nightmares thinking about having to "fix" and maintain the Jive code base.  Oh, no, that would be hell....  It must be such a complex mess that they can't even cope with it anymore.  That's what they get for trying to be fancy and over-engineering their CRAP software.

    Harm,

    I am SO-O honored that you used one of my posts for your example.

    I see the same all of the time. Tough to read with all of the overlays.

    Another pet peeve is when I see only the OP and go to Reply. When it posts, boom! I can see that there were five "invisible" posts, and the problem has been long solved.

    Oh well, what's a boy to do?

    Somewhat tangentially , speaking of pathetic messes like this forum's profanity filter....Hey! Someone Zapped the profanity thread! Undoubtedly because the super-secret secret of how to say things like"do<span></span>ng" was given away!

    ZZZZZZap!

    I've always encountered people that thought they were better than me.

    you're not reading anything anyone's writing to you, are you? if you are, you're not understanding it.


    See we're not above average yale scholars ourselves.

    Speaking for myself and maybe others, you have to take initiative to improve yourself. You can't rely on where you live or the people you are around to magically improve yourself somehow. Look at Oprah for god's sake.

    So far I'm the only kid in my family that went to college, I went to a local college, graduated with honors and an associates degree. I would have continued my education farther, but being in this field hands on is just as good or better than schooling, so I chose not to continue. I worked my butt off to NOT follow in my brother's footsteps. I had no help paying for college, I worked full time and took up to 16 credit hours of school for several years. Half the time I had to rely on bumming off my friends for lunch because I didn't have money for it as I had to break down and by a newer vehicle just to be able to continue on. I worked myself so hard with both (not to mention taking care of my very sick mother in between). I used to take naps between classes on the couch in my college lobby.

    Point is, no one can change or improve you but you!

    And no 60 is not too old to go back to school either, I've had classes with many people your age and older.

    And no we're not making fun of you, or putting you down...in the end we're all friends trying to help friends (I think) lol.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.
