Could this dumb Jive point system possibly be responsible for being asked to create a new thread (before you're actually assisted), or are points just post-based? (instead of continuing an older, perfectly relevant thread that was "answered"--the solution offered in the answer didn't work for the same problem presented)   Why does "marking a thread as a question encourage people to answer"....oh....it says for points right above..... Yeah is that helpful?  Do we really want to get people into this "point competition" mindset?  Bring back WebX!  Jive Clearspace sucks!    The whole point system is a little pointless, can't it be disabled? It doesn't really belong on a professional company's tech forum.   (I marked this post as as a question! Who wants free points?! haha)

Just received this email from Kath H:Hello Ramón, sorry to intrude but I see you are posting in Forum  Comments.Could you please let someone know that a number of us are currently unable to log in - we are stuck in a constant loop.Thank you.KathAnd another one:... my email notifications have also stopped.Kath

I had understood that the purpose of this forum was the same as in the old forums – to comment on the forums, their content and their shortcomings.To this end, when a comment, criticism or observation has been made that should suffice. There is no need for things to degenerate into petty squabbles. I must confess to a bit of levity now and then myself, but now I wish I'd kept things factual. The amount of superfluous chat going on here makes it worse than the "other place".How are those responsible for knocking this Jive thing into shape supposed to spot the legitimate comments among all the noise?

Hi,I wanted to know if anyone else had a similiar issue. I downloaded the pattern maker plug in from Adobe and when I go to install (drag and drop into the filter folder) into photoshop CS4 I get the following error message that, "Photoshop does not recongize this file type".Thx,Jamie

1/ Abolish the point system – it's meaningless2/ Abolish the "correct" answer – it's misleadingHowever, i do not have a problem with "helpful" answers – but there should be no points and there should be no limit to the number of 'helpful" answers.

Ha! Ha!...But not so simple... snappy answers get sluggish points! Losing examples: I'm a shark, i bark.Winning exaamples: ,,,,,,,,Get the drift? First three, i like, get the points

This is becoming a daily event for me.My work flow currently is something like this:1) At the beginning of my work day, I review my e-mails and RSS reader for new messages to the Forums I monitor. 2) I'll usually find a couple to whichI feel I can contribute support. 3) I'll click on a link to fire up a browsers for a reply, since the e-mail reply feature is too buggy for my taste and there is yet any other type of replacement for NTTP type interactions. 4) Since it is usually about 24 hours since I last logged into the Forums, I am usually still logged in.  So I click a "Reply" link and bring up the form to post a message. 5) During the time I am composing the message my 24 hour login period expires.  When done typing, I click the "Post Message" control and boom.  I am told I can not post a message.  That I must login again. Fine, I need to login again, but that message that I may have spent quite some effort composing is GONE!  I can not click the back button

The index page looks fine in Preview but broken up in Layout. I have been back and forth with their T/S but it slow and unhelpful, plus the guy keeps saying everything looks fine on his Windoze machine. I have the latest iMac running Leopard.I tried the IMPORT feature, and also tried replacing the folders/files that a created with a new site in GoLive, with the files that came with the template.THANKS!

Big improvement!

I've tried several times to change my profile picture with no luck. Image is meeting all the specs. I go to upload the image and it sits for about 5 minutes before the pages moves, it then goes to my profile page and has no picture selected. Here's the pic specs:

Well the title sums it up.

when browsing topics NOT on page one, the back button which SHOULD take you back to the forum list on the page where you last were (hence the name "back" button) STILL takes you back to page one, effectivly making it near impossible to read things scrolled off the front page and navigate to the next item.jeez man, this is basic browser functionality!

Extremely misleading and irritating. Absolutely literal.Definitely, in threaded view, you have no idea how many other posts you've missed. In linear view it may not be so bad...

Breadcrumbs at the bottom of the page - very good.The box of forums to choose from in advanced search seems to have grown - the list needs work, but this is good.Photoshop Mac now has a list of useful forum links, only on the Overview page, but, good.Kanguyen in here, being as informative and helpful as possible, sharing the appropriate attitude JC has always displayed. Very good.

In Design view when I use the paste command, a file copy is created in the folder for the page i am working on and no text is pasted.  .  I need to somehow change the select setting because it is selecting the entire page file for copy and pasting.   Any Ideas would be a big help.  Thanks

as seen on the picture you can see the list of all topics i started....now where's the list or link for all topics that i am involved in?

Just an FYI for all y'all.  I notice that when I try to upload images that are larger or as large as the limit  (450px wide) it takes a year and a day (or doesn't work at all) If I resize them myself, they upload instantly.

I need to change the email address in my Adobe profile, I enter the new info in the form but then it says "an error occurred".First time on the new forum, seems quite buggy.

When one starts typing in Search a content window appears below with suggestions.  When I click on one of topics the window immediately dissapears and then message bar in lower left says Done, but nothing comes up.  I even minimized screen to make sure it was not hiding somewhere.  Have seen this problem persist for a few days, but have not seen anything in the forum on it.Is it my system, or a bug?   Using Vista 32 OS.

Adobe Fourms does not work with Opera too well.  I have to use in Opera "Identify as Firefox just to post this message!I also have run into the same junk with Hotmail.Web Design Tip:  Always code for Opera and all other browsers will fall in line most of the time.

This is a genuine, well-known quote by Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian spiritual leader and activist:• A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him.• He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. • He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. • We are not doing him a favor by serving him.     He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.Employees of any entity, whether in government or in private business, will do well to keep it in mind and at heart.The recent post by Kathy Nguyen, universally well received here, shows that she knows this principle and puts it into practice.However, a few Adobe staff and associates seem somehow to think that Adobe's customers are lowly adversaries in some sort of Internet game or in a newsgroup.  Those who manifest that misguided and poisonous attitude in this forum and in their blogs are showing their incompetence and their

I noticed that a particular thread which receives new replies doesn't pass the "new reply" status along to the thread index so that the (Updated) text-flag gets appended to the thread title.5.

I have an older version of photoshop. It is CS2 My computer crashed and I am trying to install it onto my new computer. I do not have the 7.0 version anymore does anyone know how I can install it? Thanks Peggy

To restrict searches to posts by particular users, you’re forced to use the Who field of the More Options of search.   But the Who field has several serious design flaws, making it likely that many people will have problems using it:1. The Who field requires that you enter a screen name, not first/last name. The accompanying help and search tips don’t tell you that.  Most users are going to enter the name they see appearing in the message, but if the poster has set the profile option, her first/last name appears instead (E.g. “Barbara Brundage” instead of “Barbara B.”, “John Ellis” instead of “johnrellis”).  This is more likely to occur with frequent contributors.   2. It is very difficult to find the screen name of a member who has chosen to show first/last name.The only reliable way I’ve found to find a member’s screen name is to reply to a message she’s posted and click Quote Previous Message (don’t forget to type a space first).  The member’s publ

1. When you click on a thread go to the place you left off reading. Why Jive can't do this makes no sense Webcrossing did it.2. Eliminate the logging out issue when posting or jumping from forum to forum. Webcrossing could do this in fact you only had to login once and you were logged in forever. Both of these things cause this to be a slow forum now. and that has nothing to do with how slow they actually are.
