It has been four days since the turn over to the new forum and the NNTP news feed where turned off.  This was the first time most NNTP users learned of the change since the new forum was not mentioned on the news feeds.  If one used a news reader to access the forums one seldom, if ever, accessed the web user interface which was the only place the announcement of the pending new forum was.Thus there have been some very active threads about the lack of NNTP access to these forums.1) NO NNTP News Feed = A loss of a lot of helpful people.2) Bring back NNTP forum or I'm quitting3) Please bring back NNTP4) Bring back nntp accessIf you review these threads you will find a lot of people who are not going to continue to use these forums without NNTP access and detailed reasons why the e-mail and rss feed are NOT acceptable as a substitute.This is my resignation letter.  I will not be contributing as much as I am used to doing.  I may not have been the most prolific or most

HelloI have a vertical spry menu bar next to a youtube player on my site.  On PC fire Fox and IE the menu always hides behind the player.I have the player in a separate div from the menu.  I tried to give the menu div a higher z-order value of three and the player div 1.When I tried to open the page after this I got an error message before it would bring the the video screen up.I also tried giving the html from youtube a z-order within the div, and once again got the error message.I also tried making the position setting for "visible" with no success.  Thank you for your time and helpTerry Katehttp://www.romanceinthebackseat.com

Hey Folks,My work and personal laptop are unable to access any forum on the Adobe site using Internet Explorer. If I enable debugging, the errors that I receive before the webpage fails to respond include:'Jive' is undefined'JiveSpotLightSearch' is undefined'JiveViewThreads' is undefinedLine: 2325 Error: Object ExpectedThese all seem to be related to Jive Softwares "Clearspace" software that is used on the Adobe site. None of the forums, Yahoo, or google seem to have any information on this problem. It has got to be a missing add-on, a security setting, or some other inocculous problem.I had to load Firefox just to access this forum to post this thread !Thanks in advance for your help,EricPs    Please don't advise me to use a difference browser or update to I.E. 8. My work has me locked into I.E. 7

I am a student at TAFE in Australia.  TAFE, like many institutions have insufficient funds to upgrade their software.  Anyone that knows Premiere Pro and After Effects will be aware that these programs do not save down to previous versions.  Premiere Pro will not even open output from older versions (i.e. CS3 will not open CS2 output).  I own both CS3 and CS4 versions of these products, but failed a unit last semester, because I couldn't find a copy of CS2 and could not complete my assigments to deadline.  Adobe won't help me.  No retailer can provide a copy of CS2, so I am now appealing to anyone who can assist.Can anyone provide a CS2 version of Premiere Pro and/or After Effects.I own both a Macintosh and a PC, but because Premiere Pro on the Macintosh cannot produce AVI files I would prefer to get PC version of that software.  I use Audition (a sound editor for those that don't use it) and have found that Quicktime movies will import into Audition,

Jul 10, 2009 12:01 PM  in response to: Kenneth Benson Re: Alternating cell fills We hosts got word yesterday or the day before that after months of testing and tracking stuck files, Jive has rolled out a fix this week (yesterday, I think) that is supposed to cure the queue problem.

At the bottom of a thread page there's a link to reply to original post or go to original post.  I would like to see a back to discussion option.  On loads of forums you have a jump to board selection as well.  I don't really find Adobe Forums particularly easy to navigate around generally.Martin

All it does is send you back to the top of the screen. Useless.And I can see why, here's the link: http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments#I finally get brave enough to try clicking the button, and it doesn't work--shocking.  At least it didn't format the hard drive, had a 50/50 chance of getting Jived on that one.

And the reasons are...1. "Search Forums" - what happened to "Search THIS Forum"? I don't want to search ALL forums. I NEVER want to search ALL forums. Does anybody?2. Doesn't "remember me". The old one did. All the phpBB forums I'm subscribed to do just fine.3. New->write post? No. New->Discussion->Choose Forum (I'm already IN a forum)->write post. Cumbersome - too many steps. Just let me click one thing to write a post.4. Should have moved all the old forum content into the new ones. Now we lose all that historical info - or have to dig for it somewhere else, I know not where...But they are pretty, which really helps a lot.- Bob

(This may behave differently in other browsers?)Why is it that Jive went to all the trouble of implementing crummy Ajax to load other pages of a thread--but they didn't bother to create 'shortcut links' that scrolls the screen to a user's post (when you click on the username link to see what a post is in reply to).  Instead, what happens for me at least, we get an entirely reloaded page which then scrolls to the post for the link you clicked.  I mean come on: I remember putting together web pages when I was a kid that could do that correctly, without a page reload--and it was easy!!!New definition of Jive at dictionary.com: -noun1) An amateur developer, particularly one who develops web forums in IT. ex. Jives are cheap to hire, but will negatively affect your bottom line unless you have exceptionally dishonest salespeople.-verb1) To screw over. ex. Wow, you really jived that company up this time!-adjective1) Extremely slow, to such an extreme as to render unusable. ex. These

Title says it all. Jive sucks!

I swear I just noticed a thread where it had almost random things for the "Last Post" next to the link to view the thread.(Either that or someone put crack in something I recently consumed.)First time I see a thread (which hadn't been added to in three days) with the original poster as the LAST post (but in reality in the thread, it was my own post that was last).  Also, the date was ONE day old it claimed--which explains why I saw it on the third page.  Not the FIFTH page which I later found the thread on after not seeing it on the 3rd page.  So then when I find it on the 5th page (???) it says that I had the last post, three days ago.What the h*** is going on here?  I couldn't have confused it with another, the original poster has a grand total of SEVEN posts.  Now I'm not sure if I was hitting the "next" link or the numbers themselves...Please, someone tell me it's just crack and not yet another JiveBug©.

Is it just me or when you hit reply in any thread in the Reader forum, the attach file option is nowhere to be found and the camera is grayed out?

I am working on a project with a deadline.  I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.  My camera is a Sony Digital Video Recorder DCR-HC26.  My computer is a Dell with OS of Windows Vista.  I have been capturing numerous clips from hundreds of mini digital video cassettes.  Yesterday, I attempted to capture from a Radio Shack Mini DV Metal Evaporated mini DV digital videocassette.  For whatever reason it will not capture.  I have never used one of these tapes before.  Could it be the tape?  After I click on "Capture," the screen shows NO PICTURE of sound, however, it plays on the camera.  It can't be the camera settings because all the other tapes work. . .  Any advice?

When I get a file from the remote site to the local site, it looks like a template only in the document window  -  the content does not appear - I cannot edit it at all.  When I view the same file in the local root folder on my computer, it appears as it should.  Help!

Of the many forums I visit during the day, getting entry to the Adobe forums is the most infuriating!Contacting "forums.adobe.com"is a message that should only appear on rare occasions.  In other words, FIX the forum, software or go to something that works.

I want to create an e-newsletter - any recommendations for e-newsletter software sites?

Hello. My PE3 works just fine, except for one problem, that has plagued me for some time. When I finish editing, then complete the menu (title) page, I click "burn dvd". Invariably, PE closes. When I re-open the project and redo the menu- the forced closure didn't save the menu- it works fine, every time. I tried saving the project and re-opening before burning, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm running XP, Service Pack 3, with 2.80 GHz and 1 Gig of ram. Any help would be appreciated.Chuck

Anyone know what the story is with this book? Every online retailer seems to have pulled it off the shelf. Amazon had a notice on their page for it that said something to the effect that "there is a pending issue with this product". Now I can only find overpriced used copies. Weird.Anyone know?

HI. I'm new to the forum and am probably asking a ridiculously stupid question, but here goes anyway...I tried making a backup copy of my Design Premium (have the dvd's, not download) using Roxio Basic v9 on Vista.After it finished copying, the program gave an alert, saying that some of the files copied differ from the original, so I don't know if I truly have a good backup copy or not. Both disks, copied and original, appear the same, but how do I know for sure?I don't want to risk not having a good backup of CS4, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for helping and not laughing hysterically at this stupid question.P.S.: I have 2 dvd burners, I thought about simply dragging and dropping the contents to a blank dvd. Would that work?

Why do you go back to the first page when you hit the back button after reading a post on the THIRD (or other) page?  It should send you back to the third page or whatever page you just came from!

When you copy and paste html from explorer or firefox into Outlook the images shift. I created the original file in Photoshop, sliced and exported for the web. I then opened the html in Dreamweaver and placed into a table and set margins for 25 all sides. I thought that would resolve the issue but I thought wrong. Then when the email is forwarded on it shifts even more. Please help.

SOME MEANINGS:verb tr., intr.:1. To deceive, to flatter, to taunt, to talk nonsense. adjective:1. Insincere or deceptive.noun:1. Insincere, pretentious, or exaggerated talk.Have left out those relating to music and dance...BTW "Jive" also is a slang term for marijuana, as in the song "Hit That Jive Jack", recorded by Nat King Cole, Diana Krall, and others. ("Hit that jive Jack. Put it in your pocket till I get back.")So, obviously we now know what this Jive software is all about! And what the guys there have been smoking!!
