Known bug. Follow the instructions at Why has my account spawned a similar identity?..http://forums.adobe.com/message/3764016#3764016I tried the above link but it still didn't work.

About an hour and a half ago, I was unable to get into the forums.Below is a screenshot of what it looked like (Illustrator).I tried ticking New>Discussion (in the strange appearance of this forum), but the everything remained the same, although there seemed to be a link.I wondered whether this was the great upgrade, but obviously not.Were we (plural) down?

I'm not sure where to go with this problem. I've tried searching for help and calling Adobe. They tell me that there is no help for problems with the forum itself.I have started a new discussion in the Ajax Spry forum. Someone replied to my question, I replied to him, and he replied back to me (all successful so far). When I tried to reply to his second post, I couldn't. I get error messages saying that I can't post a blank message (the message wasn't blank, and I was logged on at the time). I went back to the email I received saying that there had been a post. It said that I could repond to the post by replying to the email. I tried that, and got back mail saying that my email was undeliverable.I've tried both of these routes several times over the past two hours, in case there is some kind of temporary problem with a server, but I keep getting the same results. Can anyone either suggest a soluton or tell me where I can go for help on something like this?

I went to go to a friends site and I was presented with a Threat Message (from AVG) saying that "Threat Detected" File Name:  (friends site) Threat Name: Explot MDAC ActiveX Code Execution (type 290)I want to help him fix whatever has happend as I know he is not wanting to spread viruses or other threats around.Any advice on what to do?Thanks!

I am not the only one to think that the Report Spam thread is not the proper place to carry discussions on any topic, even if they are related to spam, spammers, or ways to fight spam. Such discussions unnecessarily clutter the Spam thread, even making it difficult to see if the spam one is about to report has been reported before or not.The idea isn't mine; it was posted in the Spam thread by someone else, but I am willing to back it here. Could we have a thread to discuss spam related topics, and move there the messages posted recently on the subject in the Spam thread?Thanks.

Forum searching hasn't worked correctly for some time now. No results are returned if searching within specific forums.For example, searching for the term "adobe" returns no results.Searching the forums without specifying a specific forum area still works as long as you search from the main search box but returns results from all forums.

When I use Dynamic Link to transfer a ppro project into encore it transfers fine but when I try to build the dvd encore will give me a source code error and eject the dvd after the writing process has started.  When I transfer a test project that is just a couple of video clips, 10 to 20 seconds long, encore builds the dvd just fine.  If I try building a regular project in the flash format it works fine.  I have tried everything I know of.  I have notice that when I use the dymanic link to transfer a project to encore that is just a couple of clips, the timeline in encore looks normal.  When I try transferring a regular ppro project of 30 to 60 minutes the timeline in encore is pink.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Both programs are CS5.

The forums have returned to the veeeeeery slow load times these past few days, with 10, 20, even 30 seconds to load a single page not uncommon.  Those numbers are fine, but they should read in milliseconds, not seconds.What's up Adobe?

When I print a pdf document some of the lines of text are a lighter black than the rest of the copy. This only happens with pdfs and it isn't always in the same location on the page. Are there settings I'm missing?

It has been awhile, and several threads, but I have seen nothing recent on the progress on the Forum Search Function.Can anyone comment on the status of Search, in the forums?Went looking for some simple search criteria, limited to just the Premiere Pro CS5/CS5.5 Forum. There have been some recent threads on an issue, but Adobe Forum Search will not turn up anything, when limited to that, or the Premiere root. Bogus!Google will yield millions of hits, but by the time I filter out all the words on "hacked" versions of PrPro, etc., I have a 3 page exclusions list. It is easier for me to just go and read the last 1000 recent posts in that forum, to find what I am looking for.Also, searching on the exact forum URL, the first 10,000 hits are old spam posts, that have been long removed.This is still very frustrating, and I can only hope that things are progressing and an estimated time/date for implementation in near.Thanks,Hunt

I am new to iMac, running Mac OS X version 10.6.7, but have been using Pagemaker 7.0 for years. I upgraded to InDesign this week, and purchased InDesign CS5 Classroom in a Book to get me started. The second step of the first lesson is to save the example file with a new name. When I do so, I get the reply:Cannot save "01_Start.indd" under a new name. the file "DBTmp4101602852866" is damaged (Error code: 0).Any attempt to "save as" gets the same reply.Where do I go for help on this?

Thanks for any help / commentary you can give. This should really be that last lineHaha.  Everytime I hit ENTER, the Javascript code on this forum takes me to the first line of the post.  This sould be on the last line, but it is on the firstThese forums are a valuable place to find help, but I was wondering why adobe did away with the old Adobe newgroups.  Those newsgroups were even better.  Plain 80 column text.  None of this fancy gay HTML, stylized crap.  Sure you had a bit of spam, but that is the price of freedom.  Here, it is a pain in the but to get anything done.  The forums do not like my browser of choice (Opera), and want me to use a [edited by host] browser like Mozilla or IE.  Does anyone have any thoughts on theh matter, or would be interested in getting a Adobe NNTP newsgroup started.  I am one of those cromudgeons who don't like fancy graphics, and think that if you are using anything other than ed to edit code you are

I have a question about Adobe's software in general, not a specific program. (I have a suite and the issue effects all of the programs within, not just photoshop (for example))Is there a place within this forum for me to pose a question like this? I can't seem to find a forum general enough. Everything i've seen is too specific.

ITS NOT EVEN OPEN!!!!     I'm Trying To Install The Trial Version Of Adobe Premiere Family CS5.You Guessed It- BRIDGE IS STALKING ME!!!               What Do I Do? I get To The "Installation" Part, And it Fails. I DONT CARE IF I HAVE TO WAIT A STINCKING HOUR! I WANT MAI ADOBE PREMIERE!.... also, is this the right program for uplaoding pictures to make a stop motion movie on?

The Reader forum has been spammed since about 10 hours ago. Despite the several reports in the Spam thread, the spam messages are still piling up. This is making the forum nearly unusable.

Adobe double charged me for my software, then tells me, I need to call them back, I have been on hold for several hours trying to get a refund, not to mention it took me several days to get my software ordered correctly they kept entering my order wrong.  Their customer service is completely incompetent.

Hello Everyone,1. What is the difference beteween "Reply" and "Reply to original post" in Adobe Forums?2. What will happen if we Click on the Reply option?3. What will happen if we Click on the Reply to original post option?

My task is to open existing pdf's (usually the source is a scanned document or a converted word doc) label parts of the document with numbers and somehow indicated the paragraph of text each number applies to.  I need these "labels and mark-ups" to be saved with the pdf and also visible when the pdf is printed.  I currently use adobe acrobat commenting tools ( text box and line drawing tool) to do this.  However I am wondering if another product exist that would have different features that allow me to produce a document that looks more professional.  I do not need to edit text, just need to add labels and symbols that would allow the content to be referenced quickly. Thanks for taking the time to read this.  It's raining where I'm at, hope your day is sunny.

(I hope this isn't a forum etiquette violation)Can I request more space for private messages?  Thanks!

Let's get some forum software which allows you to quote somebody.  You know - like every civilized bulletin board on the internet.You need to be able to quote somebody in order to give comments the obvious context and background they have - this is important for internet communication.  And internet communication is a big part of the value of this software.  So, let's get it working.

This is my first experience at trying to purchase from Abode.  I placed an order for my son, educational discount, and went back 2 days later to send his photo ID as required.  I thought I did thi when I hit 'review and submit' but nothing happened.  I keep being diverted to USA when I try and find a phone number.It looks like a simple email about a problem to the relevant country (or to any country!) isn't an option??I wish I'd never ordered it, now I have to wait 5 days to see if they're going to post it or not - when I could go to a sensible site and have no problems.This isn't worth the $35 student discount! (off their full price).  Other sites have a full price almost the same as the student price anyway.I'm wasting my life.  Do they want business or not?  I've bought a lot on the internet.  This is pure crazy!Anyway, if someone is more proficient around this rediculous site and can post the phone number for Abode in australia (or an email addres

In my profile, the "Hide" my email address has always been checked, and still is. But my email is there for everyone to see. This is most annoying, and I protest violently for this violation of my privacy.Addition: and if I hover the cursor over my name, my email address is also shown, followed by this ridiculous statement: "(Private: hidden to everyone)".Message was edited by: Claudio González. Reason: addition.
