Apprently all Mozilla product's using the new Gecko engine 1.9.1 and above (which includes Seamonkey 2).  IT apparently is having a Problem with Adobe's threading systemRegardless of what you set on there is no threading in the Adobe Forums. All other mailbox files I have sort as the should example :It there a javascript that can be put in that will ignore anything in the Brackets?Has the threading system broke. can the item in brackets be moved to end of the subjects?

so as you've read from thge title, i downloaded adobe flash cs4 for a 30 day trial, and after only 3-4 hours, it expired. when i double click on it on my desktop it simply says licensing for this product has expired.

I just upgraded my laptop's OS from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit. When I tried to install Adobe Design Premium CS4 Student Edition back on my laptop, it just doesn't seems to be installing anything. And after an hour or so, it just pop up a window stating that the installation failed with an Error Code 1620. I tried the installation for over 6 times since yesterday till now!Back to the time when I used Vista, I had to create a new folder (eg. Adobe CS4) to install the software there (in that folder) and that was when it finally installed the software for me. Of course, I met the neccesary system requirements even before buying the product.And now, even when I tried the same technique, it just won't work. I followed all the steps stated (such as restarting my laptop etc) and it just won't work! And according to the reviews on Windows 7, many people has no problem with the compatibility issue of CS4 and their copy of Windows 7.Please save me if you have any idea on what's going on wi

Hi,To avoid re downloading the 300 Megs or more of updates in case of a problem. I would like to know whrere the updater puts thes downloads.I have CS3 and CS4.Thanks.

Please, delete my adobe account! I wasn't interested in an account. And I have no use for it. I allready tryed it with a email, but nothing happend.Thanks

I am going to upgrade to one of the new 27  inch iMacs. I use CS4 Premium Design Suite, PS, IL, ID and a little bit of DW.  Does anyone have a comment or thought on any real benefit to a Quad Core processor? Do any of these apps support the multi threading that makes use of quad core technology?  The little bit of research I have found on the internet suggests that there is not any significant performance improvement with the current software such as CS3 and CS4. The exceptions seem (and only seem) to be with some CAD applications and high end video editing.  Any input or factual data would be greatly appreciated.Floyd

I called 800-642-3623 for Flex support yesterday (10/22).  I went through the usual endless questions at the first level before I was finally "moved up" to the next level.  The gentleman, and he was polite, mentioned that if I get disconnected that I can directly call support at 800-642-3623.  I mentioned that is the number I called when I got him.Be that as it may, the next level had me repeat the basic information again.  And then I was told that Adobe no longer supports Flex from the support center.  Email was the only way they would help with the product.So my question becomes is Flex going to be dropped?  Is Adobe going to go down?

Just curious if there is a way to track how many users have visited these forums per given day.I remember being able to view a page, go back 10 minutes later and there was a whole page full of new posts. Now I bet I see 10 new posts per day in each forum I visit (and that number is actually quite high).Just curious as to how the now numbers compare to the then numbers

Jochem:There was no need to take that action, and to inform the OP of the "Virtual Machine" thread that you had done so.That was both extremely rude  and totally unnecessary because the Thread would have ended naturally — probably after the OP had thanked people for their help.This was yet another example of why so many of us feel that you are not suited to the job of "Moderator".What you have to learn is that you are seen by Adobe's Customers as part of "Customer Service" and acting as you did just helps to build resentment against Adobe at a time when they have every reason to be concerned about the appalling standard of their "Customer Service".This Forum has no need for this over-bearing form of "Moderation" — a Forum HOST, with a friendly demeanor and some real knowledge of technical issues (and without a meaningless "Community Expert" badge!) might be a different matter.

When I'm on the second page of posts, enter a discussion, then hit the browser back button to go back to the list, it takes me back to page 1 every time.Is it just me?(Using Firefox 3.5.3 on a Mac running 10.5.)

Here's a link to a poster / user who's obviously been at the receiving end of the auomatic logging out syndrome of the new forums:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2116748#2116748I dare say, the problem would be more highlighted if people knew where to comment about it. I suspect most users suffer it...or just wander away after a while of frustration.Anyway...

If I'm in a forum and notice I'm not logged in, and go to do so, I now get sent to the Forums main page instead of back to where I was. Irritating.

Logging into the firums is a strange experience.When I visit the forums page and click the "login/register" link below the page title, I am brought to a page that asks me to type in my username and password. I type them both, and I am then brought to a page which states "A screen name is required to continue. Please enter a screen name." I already typed this when I logged in, but OK. I type my screen name, and I am told that "this name already exists".I have no idea why I would need to type it twice (and without a password the second time). Either I'm logged in or I'm not - make up your mind. It is very confusing and misleading.  I was able to log in by quitting my browser (therefore starting a new browser session at adobe.com) and logging in using my e-mail address for the name in stead of my screen name.  If the system creates confusiuon like this, then it is broken. Either require a screen name for login, or require an email address. This system of supporting both is clear

It used to work fine.  Now all I can do is use the camera thingy to put a picture up, upload, and I get to see it for a split second before *BLAM*-- the Chrome tab crashes.Good one, you Jive losers.  You win at incompetence!  Great success!

I am going to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 with a clean install.I will have a backup of my hard drive.After I do the clean install of Windows 7 and install Elements 7 how do I get Elements 7 back to the way it was in Vista. I am particularly concerned about restoring all the Elements 7 tags.Thanks,Bob

Or the last few days I've been seeing threads show up as 'updated' - when they aren't, I've read the last post already. Especially when logging in from a different machine. Never used to happen. Is it just me?I thought at first I was mistaken and I'd seen the reply in an email notification, but it's not, it's also happening in threads and forums I'm not subscribed to.

Hi - I have recorded audio and slides for a presentation I gave using captivate.  I need to edit the audio and would like to keep the slides in sync.  How can I do this?  I am able to edit the audio, but that puts the slides out of sync.1. How can I divide/split a recorded slide?2. Is it possible to simply cut out audio and "video"/parts of slides at the same time?3. I can shorten a slide from the back end, can I shorten it from the front end?Thanks for the help,John
