Any idea how long before the Photoshop forum is functional again?

I cannot get the website forums to work properly anymore. I have tried on four different computers including one from a different location entirely. I also created an entirely different identity and it still doesn't work. If I go to log in, it logs me in and shows my personal info, allows changes to my password, whatever.  During the entire time I am in forums the top of the page says “Welcome, always frustrated” (that’s my user name). When I go to a forum question I posted a couple of weeks ago, I can view it, but I cannot reply and a "reply" option does not appear anywhere. It does say “logon/register” but that link takes you to a page that never loads. The same thing happens if I try to start a new discussion. This has gone on for a couple of weeks. After numerous trys, I thought I would try again this morning. Some how I got through this time. Can anyone help? (by the way, I may not be able to reply to this since I might not be able to post again).

since i update to 10.1.2 my machine adn printing has been slow

I translated an English paragraph into Japanese using Google Translate. It pasted as little boxes instead of letters in ID4. Can you help?

For your information:Jive Software (JIVE) went public in January and since then has almost doubled in price.Guess they are building on their expertise in sofware coding, as evidenced by the tremendous acceptance with users of Adobe Forums.To longtime readers of this forum, it would have been more appropriate if I had posted this yesterday, April 1.

I purchased a student edition of CS 4 Premium in early 2010. I am unable to find anything on the Adobe store of where I can upgrade this to CS 5.5 Premium for student or teacher edition. Instead, I only see that I can purchase another student edition for $449.00. But to upgrade CS 4 to CS 5.5 it is $649.00? Why does it cost more to upgrade? Is there not a upgrade price for student or teacher edition? Not finding it anywhere.

Hi! I am a new person here with little experience. I came here with the purpose of asking for help about webphone development. I would like to start building a SIP webphone with Silverlight. But I am not familiar with webphone development and therefore I need to find reliable applications for it. I found a sample program like this on the net: voip-sip-sdk.com/p_83-silverlight-sip-softphone-javascript-voip.html -I added this site just for giving you an example- but haven't heard about it before and I need some further assistance related to its development. Do you provide compatibility with the above sdk and webphone applications?  Thank you for your answer.

I know that the Acrobat forums are moving to http://answers.acrobatusers.com/ (not sure if that's a good idea or bad yet. I know the forum layout sucks eggs on a Mac in all browsers but that's another story) but, shouldn't there still be a notice or something letting people know where to go? They marked read-only but nothing is on the page explaining why or where to go?

I was wondering why is there an option to add more frames after hit? what is the main use for if cus' if I try to play a button that have more then 3 frames I don't see it and if I try to add gotoandplay(9) in a btn it still doesn't work... thank you for any answer you can give me.

So I registered CS5, with my email address.  I wanted to use a new email address so when I went to adobe dot com, under adobeID i changed to the new address.  After that under product registration it doesn't show CS5 anymore, I thought that maybe it was only linked to the old email address as the adobeID so I changed it back but it still didn't show up.  I then processed to change the id to something else and create a new account with the old info, the product registration was back, I should have stopped there but I decided to give it one more try and its gone now, and I have an extra account on adobe that I don't know how to get rid of.  So my quetions are:How does the registration connect to adobe products (specifically in my case it would be photoshop CS5)?Can I change the AdobeID or email address its connected to (the email address its currently connected to is to my ISP which I am changing soon)?How do I close an adobe.com registration that doesn't have any pro

This guy (all four of them) is one of the most active contributors to the Lightroom forum. For some reason (forum bugs?), his account has been split into 4:(in chronological order)http://forums.adobe.com/people/Lee%20Jay-7OQGJFhttp://forums.adobe.com/people/Lee%20Jay-0I6no4http://forums.adobe.com/people/Lee%20Jay-ZyZk56http://forums.adobe.com/people/Lee%20Jay (current account)Is it possible to merge his four accounts, as well as his points and status?

I'm using RH7 and Windows 7. The browse sequences for my CHM files are no longer being shown. I can see them if I select View immediately after I generate the CHM file. However, if I then open the CHM file from the output location, which is on my C drive, the browse sequences are no longer shown. I've deleted the CPD and BRS files, created a new window, double-checked the configuration and cannot find the problem. I don't believe I have made any changes to my system that could be causing this.

I reported a question to piracy@adobe.com 2 weeks ago, but haven't got any reply, usually how many days it will take? So confused...

where do you go to get questions answered

Hi There~ I am relatively new to creating forms in livecycle.... I am wondering if there is a way to let 'form-fillers' know that their form has been succesfully submitted, after clicking the "submit by email".  I did a test of my form (application) and submitted it by email (to myself) and nothing changed on the screen- although it did go through just fine.  I am afraid that people will hit submit multiple times, without knowing if it is going anywhere.  Thanks so much for your help!

I really want to change my screen name without starting a new account. How do I do it?

I recently bought the creative suite 5.5 design standard - student and teacher edition. I downloaded it from a disc on my laptop and my imac as i'm sure it said I can use it on two computers on this website. They both seemed to work fine at first but when I try to start an adobe program on my imac a pop up says ACTIVATION REQUIRED. When I try the options it gives me - Retry activation - it says im not connected to the internet even though I am. I can't get hold of customer support and the final option says I have 21 days to complete activation before the product becomes disabled. Does this mean it will stop working on both my computers ??One of the problems may be that I have it on to many computers but i'm sure it said I can use it on two computers. Can anyone confirm this for me ? What should I do ??

How to attach files to the thread we post in this forum?I’m wondering why there is no feature that allows attaching files from our hard drives! It is not practical to upload our file first in a certain web to provide it as a link in the post.Is there a way to attach our files directly from our hard drive to the post?Please, have a look on the screenshot below that shows a forum which includes all the very basic features!Thank you for the helpBestJamal

I have probably posted these suggestions more than once, but at least some of them have passed completely unnoticed, so I am trying again.1. I would welcome an informative and useful Pages box such as this:2. It would be nice if the default font was changed from the present difficult to read Arial to one of the fonts that have been specially designed for reading on screen, such as the Verdana I am using here.3. I would also thank the correction of minor glitches as the ones I reported here:http://forums.adobe.com/message/4098713#40987134. I think it would be nice to see the number of hits at the top of the list of results after using the Ask a question box.5. A Preview message function would probably decrease the number of posted typos. A short delay between pressing the Post Message button and the actual posting of a message would also help.And I am sure that there are more, but my memory is not as good as it used to be, and I have run out of time...

It seems that every page in every forum and every thread now has a separate box at the top saying Ask a question...Now what is that about, and where will the question appear, if anywhere?I dare not try it.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview is available, and within it we find a new build of Internet Explorer 10.Alas, while it offers some new and interesting features, it is not without its problems as regards presenting this forum.1.   I don't seem to be able to put double quotes around anything without them becoming escaped.  The following bolded phrase "has double quotes around it" as typed by the single shifted character to the right of my little finger when on the the home keys.2.  I don't seem to be able to upload an image via IE10.  I'll try showing what happens in a response to this post using IE10, but if I have to I'll post it with IE9.  I'm not sure yet whether it consistently or only intermittently fails.Adobe / Jive folks, it seems to me that it would be a good idea to get at least a virtual machine running IE10 CP and try to understand why these things are happening.  The world is feverishly downloading Windows 8 CP.-Noel

In the Forum in Spanish, this userhttp://forums.adobe.com/people/Nacho%20Cuevassays that his hard disk broke down and he lost his only record of his login data to these forums. He says that he tried to recover his password (he doesn't say how; most probably from the forum itself) and was informed that his account came from the old Macromedia forums and is no longer valid. So he has now becomehttp://forums.adobe.com/people/Nacho%20%232Is there any way of helping him to recover his old identity?
