    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 there is a bright side, at least the redirect kept you in some Adobe forum. Guess it could have been worse.

    The redirects, or forum "jumps" as I call them, happen to me about once every three days. If one does not notice these things, they end up posting the X forum, when they did the Reply from Y forum.

    If I do notice, I'll just do a "Deleted," provided that Edit is still an option.

    That is a real puzzle too. Back in the old forum, one had about 30 mins. to Edit. Now, I've had posts that when the screen came back, I did not have that option - talking about seconds here. Yet, I have been able to Edit my posts from weeks back?!? It seems to be at the whim of the Adobe server.

    I think you can edit based on whether or not someone has replied to your post.  It's stupid, I know.  But this is the life of a Jive...


    I have observed that, as well. Still, with no replies (showing yet), I have had many instances where it just never showed at all. At least with the Reply To, I can ammend my earlier post, so folk think me less the fool. That is my hope, any way.

    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 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.

    FIX THE DAMN LOGIN PROBLEM

    What's taking so long????

    July 22, 2009

    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.

    July 15, 2009

    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.

    July 12, 2009

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