Thanks for letting me know that my avatars had been approved. I hadn't been around here since this morning, and I didn't expect them to be approved so soon, so I wasn't going to check until at least tomorrow.2. As you can see, I did manage to change my avatar, and I seem to have recovered my main identity. At least, the number of posts and the original registration date look all right now; and even my points count seems

Does anyone know where we can get our hands on Adobe Writer v5.0?  Yes I know it's an old version, but our old software doesn't operate under anything but v5.0.We're moving the application from a Windows 2000 box to a Windows 2003 box.ThanksBrian

In Photoshop Elements Forum I was informed that it is not uncommon to have more than one Adobe ID. In Adobe chat they told me of a second ID that was on record to my name but I can not login for some reason. My primary ID works fine I can log in and out but the other ID will not accept my password or make a password change. I need to log in to the second ID to see and respond to messages in the PSE forum that I was able to use previously.

The white on red Adobe A has been replaced by some greenery, today.Have you noticed?

Hi all. Upon registering my account details I was apparently entitled to a copy of a few different pieces of software or plug ins. I cant seem to access that page anymore or find it anywhere on the website.Can you please link me to it?This website seems to be a bit difficult to navigate.RegardsShaun

My account has split in two, I have followed the steps in:Why has my  account spawned a similar identity?...with no luck, i am still logging in into a different account name.The two account names are:Craig Grummitt (this one, which i am logging in as)Craig Grummitt-R5sZVo (weird split off account)

My account has been split exactly as as described in the thread titled "Why has my account spawned a similar identity?".My original account screen name set up ages ago is "gatorjim2000". The split account name is "gatorjim2000-ehBrrD".The gatorjim2000 account shows I have only been a member since Mar. 30, 2010 which is way wrong. All of my points, history, etc. moved over to gatorjim2000-ehBrrD.I have followed all of the steps suggested in the above referenced thread (multiple times, actually) but the problem still exists.I would like to have all of my information merged into gatorjim2000 and have gatorjim2000-ehBrrD disappear. Thanks.

Since there is a current topic of a new 404 error, and all old topics on the original 404 have been archived, I here open a new topic on this original - and still persisting - 404 error.  The sample links below are part of this topic http://forums.adobe.com/thread/635893The error occurs when clicking on the 'Last Post' link on any topic.  Hovering the mouse pointer over the link, the browser shows the link ashttp://forums.adobe.com/message/;jsessionid=33550645F3FA43389461A77072FE9600.node02823709?tstart=0#2823709When actually clicking on the link, it is redirected tohttp://forums.adobe.com/message/?tstart=0#2823709i.e. all that jsessionid part is removed, but producing an invalid link that shows as a 404 error.The above link should really be (in order to work; I don't know why the post number must appear twice in the URL)http://forums.adobe.com/message/2823709?tstart=0#2823709Ok, you may ask why I bring up this old, well-discussed error again:because it is very annoying!&nbsp

This morning I noticed an interesting new variation on the split account problem. As you can see from the screenshot the registration date of the profile is late 2009. That is becuase it is from the account http://forums.adobe.com/people/Jochem%20van%20Dieten-QHlmGd Yet the moderation and private messages counts you see are from the account http://forums.adobe.com/people/Jochem%20van%20Dieten and clicking on the moderation queue link brought me back to the same page. So it looks like I am logged in as 2 accounts simultaneously.Additionally reply by email bounced at the same time.Everything is sorted out now (I have built a backdoor into my account so I can log in to it without going through my Adobe ID), but this might be helpful to somebody who is working on the problem.

Hi - I just got Illustrator CS3, after happily using CS2 for years.I work "sloppy" - elements of my design hang out over the edges of the artboard,and I push things out to the side in case I need them later.This was never a problem in CS2. When I would save as a PDF to send to a client, all they would seewas the artboard (defined by page setup).In CS3, the PDF I create (which takes 4 more steps than it used to.. grrr!)shows the client everything in the document! Even if I throw a clipping mask on itto make the extra stuff disappear, the white space is in the PDF.I hate this!!I found if I create a PDF through the print dialog, in the good old Apple OS way,the cropping works as it should, but I have no options about saving with compression,which means the files can be too big to email.This is seriously messing with my workflow!!Can someone tell me what I am missing here?Thank you.

I have InDesign cs2 and the text wrap feature has completely disappeared--listed in window but GONE! How can this be recovered?

WHY have you people not replyed to any of the questions about this useless script? And WHY do you send emails from a FALSE reply to email (clearspace-315423063-666119-2-2814156@mail.forums.adobe.com)?Also WHy don't you provide support for adobe reader when it is YOUR software?"I just called Adobe.  They do not support Reader, as Reader is a free product"(what MORONS you are Adobe)

I use Opera 10.53 as my primarily web browser. The problem is that i never can write or reply in any Adobe forum with Opera. (See attached image)The text field i write this text in is very small in Opera and i cannot write in it. So to post questions and/or post answer i must use another browser, such as Internet Explorer in this case.Since Adobe changed to this forum software i have never been able to use Opera to write in the forums. I can read posts in Opera, but never reply.The question is Why and will it be fixed?/Roger

Doing the usual bang-up job I see. Must be the same team that’s supposed to squash the bugs in each version of Illustrator.[Edit: foul language is not acceptable in this forum]

hello there!I wanted to individualize the Adobe CS icons, but InDesign doen't let me. I can change all the others accept InDesign.it annoys me a bit. I already checked the read&write rights in the Finder, but it does not help at all...any ideas are welcome!cheers and thanks

The Reply button on forum postings is not available for me when using Firefox. At first, I thought it was AdBlock Plus. But, even with AdBlock Plus disabled, reloaded forum pages had no Reply button.Thanks,Drew

My question is sort of complicated but i will do my best to explain it, I have finally cleaned up the keyword list to where it makes sense. I want to know if there is a way of creating a subfolder with unique keywords that are not linked to the main keyword heirarchy? I just keep running into the same problem when i add certian keywords to a perticular image, or synonyms everthing is added to the main list. Is there a way around this, and if not is there any other system that could be recommended? Thank you

Hi all,I have 2 question that hope can be answer by others here.1st: if I was developing an interactive presentation or elearning application using Flash, how do i protect it from being copy. I heard that we have to set the CRC seting ect' but I'm not so sure how or is it working.2nd: if i already burn it into a CD, how do I make sure its hard(if posible prevent 100%) for the others to copy, but they still can acces the file?I did try few software it did lock the CD but also lock the application and cant be acces...thats it..thanks.

Apologies if I'm polluting this place and the question has been brought up before and answered, but my search didn't turn up anything of relevance, so I'm asking. During the last two weeks I have severe performance and log-in issues every day during around 8.30 to 10.30 AM local time (CET+1, should be something like 2 AM PST). I'm assuming this is because some backup is going on somewhere (not necessarily on the forum itself) and would humbly inquire if someone knows something about it and if there is any betterment in sight. This has only occured recently, perhaps after some backend software has been updated and it really bugs me as I often start a reply only then to lose it due to the problems, having to type it again at a later point. I can also verify that it happens with different browsers and on two different connections, so I would rule out problems on my end and really blame it on the servers. If anyone has any info, I'd appreciate it.Mylenium
