Using the Community

The following Post, relating to Photoshop, for some mysterious reason ended up in the Dreamweaver forum:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/186139?tstart=0

Since yesterday emails from my forum subscriptions reverted to sort into clean threads - this cookie turning the emails into singletons is hopefully gone forever.Many thanks to whoever found the plug ...Dirk

I have made a site that uses many SSI's. It all works fine however now the client needs to present the site without an Internet connection. They want to use Dreamweaver and use a local browser to go through the site. All the links are absolutes since that is the way I understand you need to make SSI links. Is there anyway that I can make the links relative and thus be able to do the presentation.http://www.captneli.com/lessons/Thanks,Nancy

I tried the new forum, but the first things that bugged me were the ActiveX controls that are used. There should be no such controls in a forum. They are a serious security issue. I set my browser to prompt for ActiveX controls and I don't want to press 'no' each time I get a page displayed. Adobe please fix this! Marcus

Okay... no wise a$$ ones , i know what 'Updated' means!What i meant was in the listing, some topics have an "(Updated)" and some don't.So why does that happen? Does it imply that a previous post has been edited?JJ

I don't care, but I'm intrigued by some of the weird and 'wonderful' ways of these forums. So I went to a 'Top Participants' box and clicked 'show all participants'. I wonder if I'm the first to bother with this - it really is extraneous fluff.Anyway, rather than all participants, I got the names of the top three only. Followed by a list of posts by a whole range of entirely different people. I'd really love to get rid of these speed-consuming twiddly bits, that don't even work as advertised, and get these forums stripped back to what is quick and useful.

Here's the thread:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/416472?tstart=0Please see kanguyen's responses. If only we had more like 'k', i think half the angst felt in the switchover would have been reduced.John C is, of course, another one.Three cheers for John C & Kanguyen!

Ok, could someone explain to me exactly what determines a "popular" discussion?

Am I missing something?  When I go to any given individual forum to look for information, I see the Search Forums box at the top of the page, but it searches ALL the forums.  How incredibly useless!!!!!You know, some time back, the Adobe forums worked in Outlook Express, Windows Mail, and most any decent newsgroup reader.  It appears that Adobe removed that feature from users... which wouldn't be the end of the world IF the forums actually functioned worth a damn.  But ever since Adobe (sort of) took over the implementation and admin of the forums and made them only available through the Adobe website, the forums have crashed and burned.Overall function has gotten worse and worse, the searchability is now ZERO and USELESS which is the whole point of forums.Adobe is WHOLLY supported and is ENTIRELY in existence only because users spend a fortune on their software; and that's perfectly fine of course.  But you'd think as much money as Adobe rakes in from loyal us

OK.  I've clicked on the "Overview" tab, or whatever it is, and the only result I see is that *sometimes* additional items added to the top of the page.  However, if I click on "Overview" again nothing happens.  Huh?Does this 'feature' serve any useful purpose?

My mistake, sorry, it's PS CS3 not PS3.  I did load the Canon Software for EOS and the Wacom tablet software and that is all I can recall doing on this computer before opening Photoshop.  Any suggestions would be great, need to fix this fast so I don't get further behind. Thank  you!

I think the bottleneck holding up attachments is fixed: [Yes, straight in. Thanks to whoever sorted that one out]

1) When I go to personalize it I want to add the widget "my discussions" so I can follow mine. It just has popular and recent ones which dont interest me. Plus, if I click on "Your stuff" then choose discussions, its supposssed to be my discussions, but its empty and I have at least one I started and one I replied on.2) I also can't choose the widget legend that has the checkmark and X to communicate if your question has been answered. I think that is a great tool but not sure how to add it. In fact, my post was answered but I couldn't check that.I do like the new forum's direction and hope that when they get to it, these isssues will be resolved.

I'm working on a site that my new employer has files published to a server called webshell, and I'm having trouble connecting to it thru dreamweaver. I'm getting the following error...Can anyone assist me?

In the old forum you could mark your own answer as correct. Now that is not possible, presumably because of the reward system (would be silly if you could reward yourself.) However, it is true that sometimes you solve your own problem and post your findings, and it would be good for reference if you could mark it as the answer.New forums rock BTW. Some of the layout is a bit unfamiliar but the feature set is great.

Has anyone else been receiving odd email notifications about random postings here and there?I've appended one below and also tried attaching a screencap, although I don't expect that to work.Noel>Delivered-To: Received: by 10.239.150.210 with SMTP id o18cs99557hbb;        Sun, 10 May 2009 16:08:10 -0700 (PDT)Received: by 10.90.106.3 with SMTP id e3mr5331806agc.54.1241996889310;        Sun, 10 May 2009 16:08:09 -0700 (PDT)Return-Path: <forums@adobe.com>Received: from mail.sgaur.hosted.jivesoftware.com (mail.sgaur.hosted.jivesoftware.com 209.46.39.252)        by mx.google.com with ESMTP id 8si5867498agd.37.2009.05.10.16.08.08;        Sun, 10 May 2009 16:08:09 -0700 (PDT)Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 209.46.39.252 is neither permitted nordenied by best guess record for domain of forums@adobe.com) client-ip=209.46.39.252;Authentication-Re

I thought that was one of the most interesting discussions here recently. Did it get pulled for a reason?

Hasn't the scheduled time for the forum update been and gone? I see no breadcrumbs

Brand new to CS4.  What is the best way to insert text into menu tabs (on a pre-existing site template) such as HomePage, Services, etc.?  Thanks.

Jeez.... it's Sunday now... presume the update is over and done with... take that notification off.

I'm not sure, but i feel that since yesterday's six+ hour outage, the forums seem a bit faster. Still not up to speed – as in the old ones – but definitely faster than before.

We're giving you guys TONS of feedback. We're helping to troubleshoot, were telling you what works and what doesn't. We're reporting on problems and helping other uers with workarounds and solutions. We're offering everything we know and can figure out. Yeah, it gets elevated to some pretty noisy bitching at times. Sorry about that, Chief! But we're not hearing much in return, or seeing much in the way of tangible results.Example: Since we've heard nothing much about getting rid of the annoying right-side column, we'd made suggetions about putting some quick navigation links in the right-column boxes for forum thread indexes. You agreed that it's a good idea. You asked me specifically to put together a list of links. I took the time and put together a nice set of links for both of the Photoshop forums. I even formatted them in the HTML that it looks like you'll need. I sent you a Private Message about them. You asked me to send the text file via email. I did that.Then.....NOTHING.Serio

Ho wdoes one delete a message that they have posted to a forum.  The problem beiong that my message has now made google and I want it out of there, so I need to remorve it from the forum.Kind regardsJulie Thompson
