Chris, rather than coming back here and posting my top 10 problems with the forums that still haven't been fixed, I've just stayed away for a week or two at a time, where I used to come to the forums virtually every evening. I'll spend 20 minutes in the General Forums to see what's been done to fix the problems (mostly nothing, as far as I can see) and then a few minutes in the Photoshop Windows forum, but the forum is unusable for anything but asking a simple question and getting a simple answ

I'd be interested to hear about what happened to the members of "The Adobe Web Team" who became kind of visible sometime around the "Great FuseTalk Forums and Adobe Studio Exchange Makeover Failure of Aught-Seven?" The folks who showed up at the table all shiny-faced and smiling, ready to take the AdobeForums world by storm, to make it the best damn User-Driven site on the planet?
Remember how enthusiastic they seemed to be when they were soliciting our opinions and feedback? How chirpy they were about listening to users about what we wanted? All the lofty and useful changes we were going to see with the ASX? Many of us had some GREAT ideas for how things could be made better...ideas that didn't require massive changes to the nuts & bolts, ideas that only required CSS elements to be tweaked.
Like quite a few others, I contributed back then. I painstakingly answered questions posed by " 'Our' Adobe Web Team" and filled out a poll/questionnaire or two. I crafted a few deeply-considered UI mockups which utilized space more efficiently and guided the eyes more naturally, and sent them along to the folks I thought might implement them, or—at the very least—think about incorporating some of my ideas.
The feedback we got during that time started off fairly decent, then quickly trailed off into nothing as it became clear to all involved that the Web Team was trying to jump start a pile of sludge.
Then they disappeared, without so much of a whimper, and WebX came back.
I wonder what happened to "Our" Adobe Web Team?

Yeah, does anyone know what became of David Hatch, Chief Information Architect, User Experience Team Sr. Mgr for Adobe.com at Adobe Systems?
Wonder if he's still involved with the user experience?
This is a much better position (left of center)

From the last scam artist, thieving contractors that will say and do anything to get you to buy their product or services, regardless of whether it really fits your needs or not? Noooooooo... that never happens in IT... right?

From Adobe, for one: "Bridge 2.x (CS3) is a piece of cr@p, but Bridge 3.x in CS4 is better."
Not funny.

How many times do we have to say that before it sinks in?
Forever, until we're told WHY. Intelligent people aren't willing to blindly take the word of others, they want to know all the facts, it's the difference between sheeple and being an informed person. Do you want us to all turn into sheeple?
