I am about to change email addresses. IF nothing else is changed,Name, address, nickname for adobe and the forums.Does thi affect history of products I've purchased and my posting history on the forums?I'm switch from my current ISP to Comcast.

Is Flash dead?  Why can't I play a simple SWF file anywhere??It used to be automatically associated with the Flash Player Plugin.  Now, it's not associated with anything!  Regardless of how many times I download and install the new Flash Player.For me that's embarassing, since I am on of your monthly CS6 subscribers.Lee GilletteOnSite Mobile Web Design, LLC

1. it should be noted, that when uploading a profile photo it will automatically generate an avatar from that picture. I had added an avatar first, and then the picture, which made my first step redundant. Just saying2. max. upload size says images can be upto 24Mb, but the uploader dos not accept anything over 2Mb.

I find it hard to believe that Adobe considers itself a "Web Innovator" when it can't even keep its own site running.  Last month I tried to order a subscription to this Creative Cloud via the website and couldn't, I had to call a sales rep.  I told this rep about the issue and also about trouble I have been having getting anything to return on the My Orders, My Recent Orders and My Order History pages. There is no contact info on the site to report issues with the site (a "Contact Webmaster" link would be nice). It appears Adobe is another Microsoft; top priority = sales, anything else is off the radar. You would think a company that makes its living in the web world would ensure its website is bullet proof.Raymond Sugel Sr

I am beyond frustrated that Adobe has always dropped the ball when it comes to midi controllers. I use a very popular widely used controller; AKAI MPK. Other programs like FL studios have a generic interface for midi controllers that you can assign. However, Audition is best for what I do via creating musical scores for videos. I dont understand why Adobe refuses to implement the one thing lacking from their DAW, generic midi controller interface! I dont want to use the stupid virtual keyboard while trying to stay in tempo with the meternome! Do you have any idea how hard it is to click the mouse on the appropriate virtual key while staying on tempo?! Someone from Adobe please explain to me why you have always been so hard headed in implementing live recording/ midi controller recording?? I am tired of you refusing to let Audition be an amazing DAW. Stop limiting your program for the love of God!!

I want to upgrade my student version to a full version of eLearning 2.5. Based on what I have read online, it appears to me that there is no problem upgrading to a full version suite. Is that correct? Thanks!

This forum barely works on an iPad.Formatting is still iffy, and worse than that, there is no ability to edit an existing post.Not to point out the obvious but there are upwards of a hundred million of these things out there now (I am typing this on ours).I really hope Adobe has plans to include iPad on the list of systems its forums are designed to run on properly one day soon.-Noel

The subject says it all.  Why do we need that column?  It just occupies real estate.

As of this AM, August 01, 2012, the ability to Link a URL seems to have ceased to work. The dialog box never goes beyond a black field, so no URL input box.As of yesterday, it was working fine.Have tried with Chrome and IE 7 & 8, with the same results.Hunt

Has something changed in the forum software to cause the rendering on an iPad (second generation) to be screwed up?  Portions of the right hand column  ("Top Participants", etc) intrude into the "Modify Date" section.  It's a mess.Yes, I have removed all Adobe website information from Safari and power-cycled the iPad.

Looks like, though I'm somehow still logged in here by virtue of a cookie or something, my Adobe ID has been screwed up, or perhaps my password has been cracked and changed by someone.I can no longer log in to my account nor can I get into the feedback.photoshop.com site.Whom should I call?-Noel

I believe it is time to reveal some of the best guarded secrets, such as these,http://forums.adobe.com/thread/419406http://forums.adobe.com/thread/414764by placing a link to them, or to a section of overall information, at the top of each forum.They are there, of course, but which proportion of newcomers will find their way to theAdobe Forums > Adobe general forumshttp://forums.adobe.com/community/general?view=discussionspage and spot them before starting to type the first urgent question an hour before the deadline of the work in question?

How do I set a different frame size for each image within a slide show. I have tried with the 'Edit together' box unchecked and with items on each page locked but it continues to change the frame size across all the pages?

This message seems to be genuine but it is unlikely to get any response because of the language:<http://forums.adobe.com/message/4599626#4599626>Perhaps move to the Japanese forums if any?

The new screen name feature is broken.. It either said screen name in use or it would not accept anything when I entered something new it's damn well broken!  This needs fixed I had to create a whole new account just to be able to get logged on to this forum.

I want to ask a question about Adobe Acrobat X Suite but cannot find a suitable forum.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but email access to these forums (I use mainly the InDesign forums) is poorly supported. Often trying to replay via email results in a blank post. Also, questions posed via email cannot be marked as answered.If you know of anything I can do to improve the user experience on my end, I would be happy to know what it is.Thanks.ArielWindows 7 Ultimate, 6GB, with Mozilla Thunderbird for the emailing, and usually IE for browsing.

The font on these forums and many other parts of the Adobe.com site look terrible on my computer. This is on Windows XP, and I tried it on all the big browsers, and they all look like this:(Click the image to see it actual size..)

I just came across this new topic http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1041877On top of it (under the topic subject) it has a folder icon labeled Categories: bug / error.Usually that space contains tags.  Anyone knows where these 'Categories' come from?  I have just tried to enter a new topic, but I didn't see any such option...

I swear it used to be that more than 10 posts were listed on a given page, yet now I see threads go to 2 pages with post number 10 (in other words, the OP and 1 through 9 are on the first page, 10 through 19 on the second page, etc.).I looked through my preferences, and I don't posts per page as a configurable option anywhere (and I have no confidence I've looked in all the right places)...Did my consciousness just change universes, or is this something that's changed?  -Noel

My company's corporate standard is IE 7 (7.0.6002.18005) and I can't access the forums.adobe.com content anymore.  has something changed?  I can't install chrome/etc nor can i install an activeX without admin access.I can create new discussions and I can see the headers of other questions.  But when i try and drill down on the header to see the content I get an error on the bottom left.  clicking on it reveals the following.

I notice that when reading a thread I can no longer mark a post as being helpful. Is this a new permanent change?Edit:  I just realize that some threads let me mark posts as being helpful and some don't.  Example of a thread where I can't mark a post as being helpful: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1039982?tstart=0

This lady must have posted something in 2002 and recently she has started receiving forum messages and she is getting a bit titchy.  Her profile is here:<http://forums.adobe.com/people/Gaby35>She had a go at Murray and Nancy (both MVPs) who were simply trying to help somebody but Lady Gaby got copies of their messages.Thanks.

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.  When I upload an image, it uploads, but then it wants me to crop it, but with no means to do so.If I just hit the crop button, I get an error.If I try to click on the image to select an area, I end up getting browser options.Suppose I don't want to crop my photo?I note I can upload 2 photos -- so I thought I could upload a 320x240 for the cropped size it seemed to want (well on user page avatar is that size, so ....)... down to a square 60x60...though I see that standard forum avatars are a woppin 30x30...(aeeeeiiii).....a splotch of color--- that must be ....soandso...!...anyway...have tried multiple images (all were png, and ... if it isn't obvious, the small one was a huge 15KB (I sort don't think size is the issue!)....Anyway...probably my browser (turned off noscript +adblock...and no sites listed with cross site refences in 'request policy'...(shows a red-flag when it blocks a cross-site request)....So I don't know of anything else that w
