I just branched 404 errors on first visit to forums from the Attach Image Not Working - 11-17-09 thread. It appears that the reply count on the new thread is incorrectly set to 0, the reply count on the original thread is not decremented correctly and the original thread is now missing from the list of all threads (though if you know the URL it is still there).

I believe we have just had a downtime. Was it scheduled?

I had several times today, where the Adobe fora went down with a bang.Next thing I knew, I was getting logged-out with about every three posts. This had not been happening, since I migrated to Google Chrome, which also fixed some issues that seem to be at least semi-IE related.I've dumped all cookies four times, and there is no let-up to getting logged-out constantly. When this happens, my alter-ego WAH3 shows up, and I have to log-in back at the Adobe.com page, and THEN navigate to the fora. Before today, I was staying logged-in for about 2 days at a time. Now, it's constant, and I keep getting messages that translate to the forum being dead.Am I the only one, experiencing this, as of today? I see nothing about maintenance, or similar, and worry that now whatever was causing my issues with IE 7 are not manifesting themselves in Chrome.Hunt

I haven't been banned yet, but I'll begin with my own voice.Having "Community Expert(s)" giving out "Warnings" that people had better expect to be banned if they critisize the type of software Adobe has chosen to run this forum is ridiculous.Having "Community Expert(s)" give out "Warnings" that people who participate instead of clicking the Anonymous Accusation and Hidden Trial Button or they might " might end up in the abuse queue too." is unconscionable.Paz

I am now allowed to post as my ban has been lifted.  To those that took a stand in my favor I am truly grateful.  Your support and kind words I will always treasure.  I must also acknowledge my appreciation to two of the people that oversee these forums.  I believe it is John and Rick.  It appears that these individuals decided to review my ban and found it not warranted.  I sincerely thank both of you.  I I do, however, want it known that I am not celebrating a PARDON, as that would indicate that I have been guilty of some offense but was forgiven.  I still maintain that I did nothing wrong and that I was unfairly banned without any warning. Although I could not log-in I did read the posts every day.  I grew angry over some of the comments made by a VERY FEW moderators.  Such as; "People are only banned after repeatedly not obeying the rules of the forums."  Or that "People receive warnings before being banned."  And my favo

Hi,I received too many emails for the thread titled "Banned Participants Question". The sender's name looked like, MonteCristo (followed by some numbers)?.Had this occured to anyone???.

Just got acknolwedgement from Jive that it is a bug in the text editor that is still being worked on.Can you give me details on the block quote issue? I tried going through some of the other threads, but there is too much noise to find the actual issues.Also looking for more info on the 404 errors. I had a couple of people email me to say that it was fixed, but others are still reporting it.Thanks![update] Message was edited by: Jochem van Dieten:Split these messages off from the thread on the Camera icon not working because this is really a different topic.

Somebody was asking http://forums.adobe.com/message/2449539#2449539 about some forum statistics so I thought I should present themPrimary product specialization of moderators; Adobe employee 27 Adobe technology 21 Macromedia technology 11 (I did not check the Adobe employees for duplicate accounts.)To put some perspective on those numbers, here are the 10 most active public forums in terms of total messages: DreamWeaver 300461 Flash 112078 Photoshop Lightroom 108742 Flex 108245 ActionScript 1 and 2 104993 Premiere Pro 78223 InDesign 76827 Photoshop Windows 67554 Photoshop Macintosh 52019 Action Script 3 49915 Overall, over 50% of total messages in the public forums is in forums dedicated to a Macromedia based technology.

Since the update from 2.5.7 to 2.5.16 the HTML as returned by the webservices is broken for messags that include inline images. Instead of a proper location in the src attribute of the img tag (like src="http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/9984/Firefox-request3.png"), they now supply a partial URL in the src attribute (like src="firedog.png"), which can not be retrieved because the URL is incomplete.

As I wrote here 81., this morning I started receiving what I now see are email notifications of messages posted in that thread, starting with, and including, my own message #79. Apparently, these messages are associated with my other identity, Claudio_González, which I haven't used in two weeks.I know I haven't asked to be notified by email of anything happening in these forums, so I would be very grateful if someone could put an end to this. If this also means removing my second identity, so much the better.Message was edited by: Claudio González

I had a display name specified, but after today's forum downtime, my posts only display my original login name.Anyone else seeing the same...?P.S. yes, I see that 'jochemd' is now only 'jochemd'.

Hi all i am working on an application and my client is very much interested to view his different screen on a docking window. i have download many samples (dll's) available on internet to do docking for him like visual studio do to manage solution explorer tool box etc, but he is interested in a different kind of docking window. he gave me this link http://www.scribd.com/doc/20332524/Kobra-Getting-Started and ask me to make same window for him. on page 42 of the document i found writen this Adding Kobra Objects to Flex Frames Flex frames A Flex frame is part of a Flex document. When you first open Kobra, you will by default see a Flex document divided into three Flex frames. Objects An object is a self-contained module of functionality that performs a specific function in the Kobra environment. i have search alot but can't figured out what technology that software is using plz take out some time and view the above link

Computer is an Apple C5 Desktop, OS 10.5.8, Dual 2.7 GHz, PowerPC, 3.5 GB DDR SDRAM.I am using Adobe C3 applications which now requires updates.  When an Adobe product needs an update, a notification update dialog appears.  I click ok to download and install Adobe Updates to all my products.  I reviewed the Preferences that indicates all the C3's and a number of others applications.  I click continue and downloading begins.  Installation did not seem to occur or at least there is/was no indication of it other than noticing a percent of completion happening.The problem is that this process continues and continues and continues over and over each and every time I clicked continue.When I was able to review the preferences again, I deselected all applicable downloads.  I rthen clicked continue.  Unfortunately the processes continued and continued and continued each time I clicked continue to download but not install to the best of my knowledge.There were

I'm trying to find a thread from July/August last year. I have a couple of RSS feed records about the thread, but not the whole thing.Title "Missing HTM" in the Robohelp Webhelp forum.Contains keywords: "Administrative Rights" "start page"The thread doesn't show up in my search even though I've checked to ensure "All" is selected for time period.Any ideas?

I posted the below in another thread... However, I thought it deserved a thread of its own, so... How long this will last before being either:1/ Locked2/ Removed3/ Or whatever......is a moot point.Anyway, here's the content of that post:"You know, why do we even bother any longer? Maybe we should all just call it a day. That's what they seem to want. Those of us who still want to hang around in the product forums... do that. For the rest, this whole thing has become a joke. Between the bannings, locked threads, deleted posts... it's worse than a kindergarden. At least, in a kindergarden, if someone cries there's a helping hand. Here, it's the opposite. So, in all seriousness, maybe we should all call it a day and move on. Visit the individual product forums if we want... impart and absorb what we can... and leave it at that. The old forums are never going to come back. And what we have here is no longer a joke. It's a nightmare. End of story...."To this, i'd lack to add a simple fact.

1. Browse Forums button doesn't work! I tried both Mozilla and Safari.2. While browsing the forums in advanced search window, Mozilla doesn't let me find the needed word by typing in the first letter. I have to go to Safari to do it.3. Since the list in the search window is so fuzzy, with no distinguished main themes (you can at least make them bold), without any clear alphabetic order, with all subthemes always expanded, it becomes really frustrating to find what you need!3. If I want to make an advanced search after while browsing the forums, I have to open a new search window, then select the needed forums again and again. Why is it so difficult to make the advanced search options expandable under the search button at all times? And to be able to remember the selection. Also if I am in a specific forum, I should have an immediate option to search that active forum without selecting it again from the list. That's how normal forums work.4. In Advanced search there should be an option

Adobe had a gold mine. Their product fora filled the gap that their outsourced T/S and C/S were no longer filling.Many users realized that there was a much greater liklihood that almost any problem, with any Adobe program, could be solved by the fora, and by the users. I have even recommended such for years, even back when Adobe T/S was a different animal.Now, as of Black Monday, Nov. 16, 2009, with the "maintenance" work, these fora are nearly useless. Many of us have lost the ability to use the "camera" icon to attach an image to a post. The "automatic" line break is a real problem. It now comes long after several lines of text have been typed, and is never where any editor would place it. The "block quotes," that only work every third, or fourth time, all contribute to users not wanting to bother with helping all the other users.This has become a very bad joke by Adobe. I am considering just giving up helping others, and letting them contact Adobe T/S for everything. Let all the use

Just in case anyone from Adobe thinks these forums are getting better, are more accepted now that all the knowledgeable regulars have been driven off and the community that existed has been destroyed. This Forum still sucks, its slow ugly and a huge space waster. The dialog in the forums has turned into a bunch of lazy people who can't be bothered to read the manual. All discussion about anything technical or advanced just doesn't exist. thanks Adobe.

When performing a test to try to understand how the deletion of posts reported as abusive works, I had a post deleted, and received an email stating thatThe content you posted below was reported for abuse and removed by our  moderatorsNow that Zeno Bokor has explained the process for me, I would like to suggest that this text is modified so that it clearly explains that the post was not only reported for abuse, but also considered as abusive by at least one moderator.I have opened this discussion following Zeno's suggestion.
