Is the CSS on the site messed up? I'm not getting bolded text for unread threads plus "updated" isn't listed on threads that have been updated.But some of the ones I've already visited are a little lighter blue than the others.

The search function on this site doesn't seem to work properly. If I try to do a search on a specific forum via the 'Only this forum" function on the right side of the page (which doesn't seem to appear on every forum) or by selecting 'More options' from the search page, I get 0 results. Example - If I search the 'Photoshop' forums specifically, and enter 'Photoshop' into the search criteria, there are no results. I get the same results entering 'Acrobat' into the Acrobat forum, and on any other forum I have tried. It doesn't matter what I type into the criteria, I get 0 results. This happens both on a mac running Safari, as well as on my PC running IE.

I was in the Reader forum and needed to take a look at arecent post. For this, I had to go to the second page of the list. In both, the list of Top Participants looked its normal:I opnened the wrong message on page 2, and tried to go back to the list of topics using the "Back to Reader Discussions" button, which worked. But the list of Top Participants had changed to this:And it went back to "normal" on reentering the Reader forum using my bookmark.Addition: I have tested in other forums and I get the same expansion of the list on going back. And the button I'm using is the "Up to Discussions In XXXXX" one near the top.Message was edited by: Claudio González. Reason: Addition.

I opened ths discussion about an hour ago:(screenshot from my profile), but I cannot see it in the list of topics!!!!Addition 1:Addition 2: And if I click on the thread's name in my profile, I am taken here:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/842401?tstart=0Message was edited by: Claudio González.

Started 9AM West Coast USA - several "false" logouts.I had a message all ready to go, and between composing and clicking post... I was logged out.I have been a member of the Adobe forums since Premiere 6x days, to learn and help when I can.Now, due to either a lack of resources provided by Adobe... or the Jive software... the forums are part of the problem, instead of being the solution.It is really frustrating to take 30+ seconds to get to a forum, or a message inside a forum... and then find out I have been logged out when the screen finally opens.This problem has been here for several weeks, off and on, and it seems nobody is able to fix this problem... not a good public face for Adobe

Hi everyone,This problem has been bugging me and I've tried to change the settings a million different ways but it just doesn't work. Please help!I've been trying to open a Fillable PDF file that connects to a online server (to obtain information) using Adobe Acrobat X Pro, and every time this error message shows up:Network ErrorNetworkError: 0operation: getOrganismPartTypesUnable to establish network connectionBut I can go online no problem so I know it's not my internet.I can open regular PDF files no problem.  I tried to change the security settings and add the server and the file onto the safe list but it doesn't help.Anybody can help me out?  Please advise.Thanks so much!M

I've been uploading images as part of forum posts successfully for weeks using IE9 64 bit, set for Compatibility View.Suddenly, starting yesterday, using the little camera icon with IE9 64 bit, when I hit the [Browse] button, the entire IE window just disappears, losing the response in progress!Doing the exact same thing in IE9 32 bit works, and brings up the dialog with which to select a file.  So now the workaround is that I must use the 32 bit IE to access this site.Nothing is changing on this end.  No new Add-ons, no config changes.  Cache has been cleared to no avail.  Nothing appears in the Windows event logs.Can you folks please try a little harder to settle this forum software down?  It's getting rather frustrating to have features just keep dropping out like this.-Noel

hi there~~ i've a problem.I lost my ACE certification. I'd like to have it reissued.so what should i do?please help and reasonable answer~~

More Options does not help either.Is it me or do i not understand how this search workes.I also would like to find all (not just the last 25 or so) the posts of one Person. How do i do that.Thanks

I wouldn't have noticed this, but for the fact that I decided to try out FireFox 4...When trying to upload an image in Internet Explorer, there is no way to type in a filename in the Upload Image: field, shown below.  The insertion point cursor can be put in there, but nothing can be typed.  The [Browse...] button, of course, works fine.Just because I needed to check some web work I happened to have FireFox 4 open, and I don't know why I tried, but lo and behold I could actually type something in there.  After the first character FireFox just popped up a file selection dialog, where I finished typing the filename.The field is even grayed-out in IE, whereas it's white in FireFox.Is this forum software particularly well optimized for FireFox then?-Noel

Good day I am interested in some Adobe product. I am an elected parent sitting on a High School Governing Board and school rep. on the School Board committee. I am not paid by the school/school board but part of a 20 members committee making decision about budget, school affairs, etc. My purchase is a personnal purchase. Do I fall under the "Student/Teacher" or the "Education" pricing? The "Education" section seems to imply that the purchase must be for the organization which is not the case. Please clarify for me. Regardsdanield

Yesterday morning I spend upwards of an hour catching up on the forums here that I visit, posting responses, etc. until I felt I had found everything I wanted to look at.  Today, by contrast, though (from where I sit) the response time is definitely a few seconds slower for each individual operation with Read Tracking enabled, I got through all the new posts in about 10 minutes.  And it was FAR more pleasant to do. It's not intutively obvious that this one little feature could be so important, but rest assured that it is.  This is a penny foolish and pound wise change.  It's good to know those can still occasionally happen.Thank you for re-enabling Read Tracking!If you do have future problems with it, please try harder to fix the problems rather than disabling the feature.-Noel

Okay, so what's new that the following is now intermittently happening with the web interface?1.  Hit Reply.2.  Post Reply to...  page opens.3.  Editor pane fails to open, it just stops with a minimal window showing and nowhere to type...This is intermittent, but seems to be dependent on something external...  Some days it almost never happens, sometimes it happens almost every time.Just hitting refresh, after the above occurs, will virtually always lead to a fully functioning reply window, including editor pane - so it's not a huge deal, but it's just another irritation.-Noel

Today I couldn't post two small JPEG images in the same post.  It showed fine in the editor, but not when the post was made.  Two subsequent attempts to edit it, even with a different filename, didn't succeed in making the image show.Here's the thread:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/3618788#3618788You may notice it let me post the second image in a subsequent reply.Here are the two images I tried to post:...and...Edit:  Looks like it works here, making it all the more interesting a problem.How does a software system get that wrong in one place and not in another?  Has the forum software become self-aware?  JiveSkyNet, I take back all the bad things I have ever said about you.-Noel

Hi guys,My appologies for a basic questions but I am a new photographer and Lightroom 3 user and I would like to turn the setting on within development that allows you to view in red the amount of over or under exposure applies in the photo I am viewing once imported into lightroom. In my old software, when viewing an imaage, the photo displayed in red the level of under or over exposure, so I could easly adjust. How do I get this red exposure indicator in Lightroom 3.Any help would be very much appreciated.Thanks Biscuits

In the long series of things we all live with and tend to overlook...Not only does the editor insert newlines and force the cursor to the end of the line once in most messages, but sometimes it loses edits.For example, make a post, see a typo, go back to edit, make the change very quickly, then repost. If you're quick about it, the change is likely lost.  The more coffee, the more likely.I think it may be that you have to edit a post for a certain amount of time before the edit is accepted, but I'm not completely sure.  Maybe this is the same amount of time that normally elapses before the newline/end-of-line thing.  Maybe this is some kind of misguided security feature or protection against double posting - I don't know, but it's damned irritating to have to do things twice!-Noel

Looks the forums have been for much of the past hour or two, returning:$ curl  http://forums.adobe.com<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"><html><head><title>302 Found</title></head><body><h1>Found</h1><p>The document has moved <a href="http://www.adobe.com/special/message.html">here</a>.</p></body></html>Also at one point got a page asking me to email the administrator as admin@clearspace.instance or somesuch...

It is no longer posible to search the forums for specific key words. I usually use the search function a lot. Nov tt looks like the it only search people and not the forums.Kirstine

In my apparent new tradition of bringing up a new problem each day, I suppose I'll ask these questions, which have been bothering me for a while...1.  I can underline text while I'm editing.  In fact, this sentence is underlined.  Why doesn't it retain the underline after one hits [ Post Message ]?2.  Just above where we type there are boxes for Font family and font size.  And sure enough one can change font size and face here in the editor (e.g., this sentence).  But again, it doesn't post...  Why?I suppose I should be thankful that Bolding and italics DO work, even together.-Noel

Sorry to be so blunt, but the forums are as slow as ever.In addition we have lost RT (read tracking) in the process, making all the forums nearly unuseable. It was clear that most of the users wanted RT back. It has not happened in two weeks time. Now the speed has become another hurdle. Was'nt that the reason to remove RT? Well, good choice.No speed improvements and greatly reduced functionality. I'm ready to give up on this approach.I have tried to help people here, but now it is impossible to do so. I take time off, untill Adobe gets it right.

Hi -I'm pretty sure that this newest re-design of the adobe discussions requires a few more clicks before I get to the specific forum I'm looking for.  In fact I'm very sure.What really adds to the frustration is that after I get to the forum I need, and then sign in - I'm sent back to some general adobe.com page and have to search again to find the forum I need.It seems to me that after signing in I should be brought back to the last page I was on.Thanks,JL

Hi,I've been learning CS5 web design and want to start designing but my health has meant that I need to use a laptop now (have to lay down because of back problems) instead of my desk top.Can anyone suggest the best laptops for the job? I don't want to spend out lots for something that's not needed or not good for the job in hand.Obviously I'd like to pay as little as possible but don't what 'cheap and useless' either, so will consider any.Any advice is gratefully received and I'll follow up in my research for the perfect laptop for me.By the way, I'm using a macbook to type this but my CS5 is for Windows (as is my desktop) so a laptop would have to be a Windows one please.I look forward to hearing from you and getting on with researching laptops with your advice.Thanks for reading.Anna

As my message is about Forum Comments I am posting this here: I have just noticed that these forums can allow you to insert videos or Images but there is no such facility to attach files.Attachment of files is very important for Dreamweaver Forums where users can attach their HTML, CSS and related images for helpers to test them out and provide appropriate suggestions.Can Adobe-Admin please forward this suggestion to the appropriate developer team.Thanks.

  Hello everyone.  I want to open a PDF document using Javascript. Is it possible?.  I think so but I do not know.  I have read this site:http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.htmlbut I find no examples, no help.Thank you, kind regards.

Yet another niggling little thing, noticed recently...Once it was possible to put one of these...    ...on the same line as text.Alas, no more.  Now it appears on the a line by itself when it is posted.Does anyone know a secret handshake for getting the smiley on line?  Is it maybe an Internet Explorer 9 thing?  Funny thing is they're in line in the text editor in IE9.  I wouldn't swear I've ever seen them in the right places in IE9, but...  I dunno.-Noel
