Sorry folks, but word has come down from above that abuse of the point system is counter-productive. There are management types that actually believe some users see points as an incentive to provide a quality answer, and that they wouldn't do so without the points, but that's not a widely held opinion among hosts. Nevertheless, I have to lock the thread, and warn you that at some point there will be official sanctions for those who post threads with the sole purpose of gaming the point system.
If they don't want the point system abused then we need to do away with it. This forum is becoming less and less a place I want to help at. I think I will start looking for another Photoshop forum.
Of course, that's not a real threat! That's why I had the original disclaimer, but in case it's not obvious, it's a joke. Probably good advice to refrain though, I guess.
Just in case you're not aware already, the forum smilies to not get sent in the email notifications. Not even as standard text emoticons which is how I type them before Jive edits my post.
I can sometimes get away with adding a nose to 🙂 and it doesn't edit it, though. If I send that emoticon by email, Jive replaces it with the graphic anyway.
I mostly put at end (when answering question on Acrobat Mac) If this helps or not return and let us know one way or the other.
That's reasonable, and doesn't trigger my anger instincts really. Asking for points is most annoying when it's a new update (post) specifically just to say that.
