for some reason i cannot post in these forums from my computer(i cant see this area but i can edit the title) is there anything i need to instal to enable posting?

Someone claimed to have found a way to circumvent the queue. Attach file, post. Immediately edit, remove attachment, re-attach.I've been trying it (see my post in the Testing forum if interested) - couldn't get it to work.

JUST MY OPINION:It seems as if people here are becoming a bit touchy over little things.  To some degree, that has always been true, but now appears much more so.  I notice it from people that were NEVER quick tempered in the past.We now argue over where an apostrophe should be placed, misspellings, and one thing after another.  Little things that aren't worth getting upset over.  Things that, formerly, would be ignored.  Or, at best, a simple "There, fixed that for you" is all that is needed. I think it is due to the hassle that the new, improved forums have caused.  Very few of us are really happy with the changes.  Some, such as points, are just useless.  Others, such as getting logged out, get on our nerves, and rightfully so.  It defeats the reason for these forums.  Communication is why we come here and when we can't communicate, in a timely fashion, we get angry.  That's justified.But please, we should attempt to be courteou

If we see a thread reported for spam, and report it - it looks as though it does indeed go away if enough people report it, just seen it happen.

Install any Adobe CS4 product on a Windows OS and the software adds some number of Startup items to MSCONFIG including CS4ServiceManager, AdobeCollabSync and a blank line with no Startup file name or Command Line entry.Until Adobe's products added those Startup items, I had no software loading from my MSCONFIG Startup group. The blank line was disconcerting so I unchecked it. That, apparently, triggered the dreaded "error 148:3" message about a licensing problem. That error can be resolved by running LicenseRecover.exe, a file available for download from somewhere on the Adobe.com site. However, as long as the blank line in MSCONFIG is unchecked, CS4 products will continue to not run and will continue to display the 148:3 error message.So...what does the blank line in MSCONFIG do? What is it? How is it that Adobe can add an unnamed Startup item to MSCONFIG?Jeff

First of all, is there a better place to ask this question than this forum?  I looked at the list of forum names, and I didn't see one that I felt was right for my issue.I'm trying to install an OpenType font in WinXP (Inconsolata).  When I select the file in the font installation dialog, it just says "Unable to install the ... font. The font file may be damaged. Check with your vendor about obtaining a new file."  I'm getting the .otf file from http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html. I've also tried http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/steffmann/samples/a/albert.htm with the same result. I've tried downloading the file (from Firefox) several times.

Perhaps the thread where we had idly discussed whether the servers are  located in Minnesota or whether Geotool gives misleading results was lost because it was in the temporary preview forum.  In any event, the search function can't find it.Keeping in mind that some contributors opine that IP location is not determinative, I still find it curious that Geotool continues to place the servers of this forum at Medicine Lake in the Minneapolis area on an absolutely consistent basis.It still did a few minutes ago:

I don't why changing a motherboard and loading new drivers would cause a problem, but since doing so today, about 10-15 seconds after opening a .pdf file from an email attachment or website, there is the following message: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time.  You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."  I have CS3.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

I don't know if most of you knew this but I didn't; Cisco bought them in 2007. I'm not surprised that Adobe doesn't wish to do business with them more here.

please stop using this place like an open discussion area.

Others have probably observed as well that after the forum upgrade, attachments are still getting queued for a long time, e.g. the attachment in this post has been queued for almost two hours:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/433930?tstart=0(The attachment posted 9:56 AM PDT, it's now 11:49 AM PDT.)Is there an ETA on a fix for this?  If it's going to be awhile, can attachments just be disabled until it's fixed?

Hi,Where can I find information about how to display PDF documents in my Java application? I have tried the old (1998) unsupported PDF-Viewer. It works just fine, but I have to accept the license every time I open my dialog. Is there any way to get rid og this accept-dialog?

Is this a joke or what?Buko's thread,Report Spam or inappropriate content here again.Disappears... then reappears!The thread:"Forum Comments forum is the new Lounge thread" has vanished....Who is this moderator who's playing havoc?Posts have been deleted with no explanation... what is going on?

Hi,I have a UK copy of Adobe CS4 Web Premium (Student Edition) which requires activation via Adobe's form at www.adobe.com/go/studentedition_ukI have completed this form and attached a copy of my student ID on June 24th (5 days ago) and heard nothing from Adobe, despite claims that a customer service advisor will deal with the form within 24 hours.I have spoken to two customer service advisors via the "chat" fuction who have both promised that it will be looked at soon and I will recieve a serial number via e-mail but this has not happened.Is there anything further I can do to aid this process and to be able to use the software I have paid for?If anyone from Adobe is looking it is Case #0202202411.Any help would be appreicihated,Many Thanks,Mark

Online or in live view this problem can not be seen, but when viewed in Dreamweaver CS4 design view, (see attached .jpg) you can see the problem  clearly. Is this the way CS4 work with a vertical spry menu or can i make the menu sit back on the side bar as one would expect it to. ThxAmber

Obviously the list of hosts and moderators was pulled by the hosts and moderators.Without an explanation of course.

It shows as wwwimage.adobe.com etcShould it not be www.image.adobe etc?

This is just so silly it's embarrassing. Beside the thread complaining about attachments stuck in the queue:

The first page loaded in a new session of IE8 results in a message at the bottom of the browser screen that says "error on page". The "Next" function is inoperative until the IE8 window is refreshed with F5. This is not a problem with FireFox.

Well, whaddya know - look at the date:... and the OP later talks about giving the 'answered' credit to someone.

This forum is meant to be used for discusions about the operations of all the forums themelves, and should NOT be used to ask questions about how to use your Adobe software.Please go to the following link and navigate to the specific forum for the application you have questions about. There's a separate forum for each application. Find it, and ask there>http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspaOh, and what is a "DAFI"?Dear Adobe Friendly Inquisitor.Or maybe not!

I just installed the trial for Dreamweaver CS4. When I open an html file the properties box at the bottom is blank on the right half. I can not see the target or title boxes. Plus the bottom 3rd of the box is missing across the entire box. I can move the box around but not expand it. Any help would be appreciated.

I've seen this a number of times, but I thought it may have been copy & paste errors.  But they are not.See this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/2008300#2008300I have inserted two download links, and each of them has a blank inserted near the end of the string (install_flash_player_ax␢.exe, install_flash_player.ex␢e - blanks marked red).The hyperlink itself works fine, but if somebody copys that string into a new post, the hyperlink won't work any longer.

I am lokking for guidance on getting started with Web Premium.  I have used several ov the products independently.My goal right now is to develop my company website which includes some interactive features using the WP.  I have come across many starting points.I would like to learn how the components within WP interact, get a summary on their capabilities, and learn how to develop a site from end to end using these tools.Like I mentioned above I have some experience with a few of the components however not a comprehensive end to end perspective.Guidance would be much appreciated.Thanks
