No, I'm not encouraging people to keep sniping at each other - I just wanted to say, before the thread was locked, that I participate in another forum that has private messages - but it's possible to block individuals and not allow them to send you messages. Maybe that would help.

I know that what I am going to ask is possible, because this is the way it works on other forums I visitWhen you go to an Adobe forum and you are NOT logged in, it has a link that says Login / RegisterIf you ARE logged in, the same space says Welcome --name here-- and then goes on with several option links to the rightSo... the forum is "smart enough" to show different things depending on your current logged statusI will ask that that that initial not logged state be modified to show...Register or Login - and provide a SPACE FOR ID and a SPACE FOR PASSWORD and a "Click to Login" buttonIf you are already registered, there is no reason to have to go to a different page and then back to the forum... just allow entering your ID and PW right on the forum pageIf you need to register... that click would take you to a different page, to register

Helllo. I am writing to give a complain that the download link for Shockwave slim have a mildly serious problem. The problem is when I wanted to download Shockwave slim which should be the file size of 3.33MB, but instead gave me a huge file of 1.06GB of absolute nothing in the file, and it was a utter waste of time to download the file, mind you. Can it please be repaired immediately?

In the old forums, my user ID was DaveBurns. I guess the user name associated with my Adobe account though was DFBurns.I'd like to change DFBurns to DaveBurns so that all my posts, old and new, appear from the same person. When I try to change my user name from DFBurns to DaveBurns, it tells me that name is already in use (as I pretty much expected). Is there a way to resolve this?

Yes I was logged in to the page that I backspace to.

How do I send my information inside my form to my email?

Anyone know if adobe design premium CS4 will work on a 64 bit system?

I just tried twice to post a reply in the "Type" forum and got the following results: Without an attachment:   "Unexpected Error" ; otherwise unexplained.With an attachment:  I forget the two actual diagnostics but they were  in red saying something like "Unauthorized whatever ... contact your administrator.

Currently, if a posting in the Coldfusion forum contains a link and you click on it, the new page opens on top of the current page. That is, the new  replaces the current page in the browser.That can be quite inconvenient, particularly when the link takes you out of the forum. Could the forum webmaster make sure that embedded links open in a separate window? Thanks.

Does the Jive software not support sticky threads? If not this is unbelievable.

Hello all I was wondering if you could set a .swf as a background image. I want it to still move. Any ideas or help?

I've been having a nightmare trying to purchase Lightroom2. It doesn't appear to be stocked by resellers (dispite customer support on the phone saying it is - although they couldn't tell me by who!!), so I have tried via the adobe web store.After several attempts it seems that I cannot purchase from the US site because I'm in New Zealand. (even though I have a US address, a US login - but I'm in NZ so therefore...) okay....so, after several attempts to buy from the adobe NZ store and repeatedly being linked back to the US site...which I can't buy from...I finally reached the ASIA site (I know a lot of Asians come to nz, but really...we are our own country) where I could purchase Lightroom...but at a MUCH higher price...64 percent more....WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!got to be a mistake, so do it all again....and yep, almost NZ$300 dollars more for the exact same software.After eventually getting through on the phone to customer support I was told it was because of the exchange rate....errr

I am updating the online academic catalog for a university. The templates were set up for me when I was handed the project. I have menu buttons down the left side of the page that are linked to a series of information. After nearly completing the project, I was asked to rearrange the order of the buttons. Can I do that (while keeping the information/links with the respective buttons) and if so, how? The manual I have gives direction in changing the order of the menu items which I can do but I can't get the information that's linked to move with the buttons. Please let me know if you can help.

Will it be possible to reply via e-mail not only to e-mail notifications (already subscribed threads) but also to RSS feeds ? This would make up for part of what's lost by not supporting NNTP anymore.

That's made a huge difference over the last few days.  Thank you.

Hi. Question for Adobe:Why have so many threats from the [Photoshop >> feature requests] section been deleted, that were posted in the old forum ??It's certainly not a timestamp issue, as there are a lot of postings in [Photoshop >> Windows] which are older.Thank you.

If I start a new discussion or post a reply to an existing discussion via email, I don't get notified of my own post. This is a major drawback, for at least two reasons: (a) There have been plenty of cases where posters have said that they tried to post by email but 'it didn't work'. There could be many reasons why it didn't work (it looks like some of them included the mailto: protocol prefix in the To: address, for example), but not getting notification means that it's impossible to tell whether it worked or not without visiting the website. (b) If and when the engineers manage to tidy up the emails so that some sort of threading in an email client is possible, own posts will be missing. Whatever mechanism one might set up to achieve a newsgroup-type view of a thread will not accommodate messages sent from the client, because the format is entirely different. If the designers thought they'd be helping to minimize clutter by excluding own posts, then in my view this was misguided. Ple

Hi... below is the content of a post i made in the 'help with download manager" thread..."I don't think Adobe knows how to KISS. Whenever there's an between keeping something simple and effective or something complicated and non-fuctional, they choose the latter. Three basic things come to mind:1/ This download manager. It's a regular screw up. Once you've validated, why can't they just let the download carry on with this ridiculous manager of theirs?2/ The second is their installer. Don't know about CS4 for sure, but the amount of hassles people had. The forums are full of it (guess matters haven't improved with CS4)3/ This activation of theirs. From what i gather, the only guys *not* having a problem are those it was meant to stop! Yup the ones using pirated software.(I personally know of several people who gave up trying to get their legitimate multi-copy suites activated and just downloaded and got it working... )And now, the forums... the list however, is actually quite endless"

Ok, this is just to test e-mail postings.You can post whatever you want here for testing purposes ...

I think there is a good question deeply buried in this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/435996?tstart=0Why is the question marked as Not Answered instead of Possibly Answered?

this is probaby the wrong place to be asking this question, but there's such a lack of information everywhere else. i am trying to download a trial and accidentally denied the akamai download manager installation applet. now i can't download files and don't know how to go back and approve it. why does adobe suck so much *^%$?
