Using the Community

Hi everyone,We're trying to get a pulse from the community on what email clients and platforms you guys are using, especially in the case where the threading of email subscriptions isn't working. I have heard that threads can be grouped in Entourage on a Mac.Can anyone Mac/Entourange users confirm this?Would appreciate everyone's input on what mail client/OS you are using and if threading works for you or not. I know for the majority of you it isn't working, and we're looking at ways this can be addressed.Thanks!Here's the first entry: I use Microsoft Outlook on Windows XP and my email notifications don't thread.

If I open a multi-page thread which is marked as "updated" on the main page and then go back to the main page the "updated" indication goes away.  If that's how it's supposed to work then it's pretty screwed up!

Things are a bit slow to download/render.  I hope that will be fixed as the new servers are replicated/tuned/whatever.

When I am in the Photoshop Windows forum I notice there is a link (on the right side of the screen) to the Photoshop Windows FAQ forum. Great, but why is there not also a link to Bridge Windows and Adobe Camera Raw forums? These products are most certainly installed on every Ps machine. What about a link to Photoshop Lightroom?Some forums have no links such as the Bridge Windows. It's currently all very ad-hoc and navigation could be greatly improved with better links. They do not seem to be user configurable so Adobe should put more thought into these navigation links.

I just received the following auto-reply shortly after sending John Cornicello an email he requested from me. (11 April 2009, 4:45am EDT)"Adobe North America is taking a little Spring Break. We will be out of the office until April 20. I will return your email then if appropriate.So if you don't see any responses in this forum from him or any other employees for a while, that may explain it.

There has been some crumbling about the lack of "breadcrumbs" on the new Adobe forum pages. What the heck is a breadcrumb and why should I care?

The subject lines in email are ridiculously long due to the added forum identification and other non-content. Especially if threads originate by people like me who believe subjects should cover the actual content of the message.The smart way to add the forum identification information is to use the standard way from RFC 2919: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2919.txtThis allows you to embed additional information in email headers where MUAs can act upon them, without cluttering up the screen for the human reader. And you could even embed additional information such as a URL to report abuse, to unsubscribe etc.Jochem-- Jochem van Dietenhttp://jochem.vandieten.net/

Has anyone else had trouble with the Report Abuse function?I have now tried to send three messages using the Report Abuse function.  Two of them failed outright, and the only test message sent went through unacknowledged. If you would like to help in this matter, then please perform the following test:1) Click on the appropriate button.2) Enter a brief test message.3) Verify whether it is sent.4) Report their finding to this discussion.Before I register a formal complaint with Adobe I would like to gather evidence to support my case.Roddy

Will someone PLEASE fix it?85.

As a long time (3 years, anyhow) user of the Lightroom UtoU forum, I am liking the new look. Much better tahn the last try at a 'new look'! Only thibg missing that I have seen so far is a way to provide a 'Signature' to be appplied to each post I make.Don

3 links, all to the same page, within half a centimeter from one another.Just one example out of many, I'm afraid...

When I am viewing a thread list (say Flash General Discussions for example) and I browser forward past the first page of results, and then open one up, and click the back button in my browser, I go back to the first page of results again, rather than the page I was on, as I would expect.

What a way to encourage the wisest and most helpful people to contribute!  Give them an extra little red box under their name every so often!  Brilliant! So, how many experience points does my character need before I reach level 2?  Are there other achievements?  Do we get a gold star at 500 posts?  If we get 5 red boxes can we get to teh elite boards, where there are no newbs?

... who cares? Why not links to related forums? It's a pain in the arse getting, eg, from Golive to WebDesign. And lose, please, that useless 'More Like Box'. In fact we still don't need the right column - there's plenty of wasted space up top. wWho needs to 'Browse' all people or all discussions? Stick the related links up there in  a menu.Or put them in the Overview tab, but rename it so we know what it's for.

How do I search just one forum? I didn't see the answer in the FAQ. I'm trying to see if I can change the desktop colors of my new PPro CS4 back to how it looked in CS2. I think CS4 is too dark and hard to see...and is it just me, or is this new forum really, really slow?

Are old posts like this that are full of embedded HTML eventually going to be normalized?There are quite a few of them floating around--maybe people posting in from the news servers in the past?

How do you log out of a forum? Is it at all possible?Seems I am logged in to any forum I go to if I switch between different ones, even ones I never previously used to be a member of. So am I now a member of all existing forums just because I logged in?I've actually been a member of several Adobe forums since 2002, but today they all consider me a new member who only joined today and gave me a screenname I  haven't used for quite some time. Not funny.

Do you remember when the comments forum was just Spam, Speed and Spanish?Happy Days!

Hi:I have some questions about the new forum redesign:1) Why is the Author on the left, instead of the Subject? Which is more important to quickly scan first, the subject or the author?2) Why does the page not remember that I want to show 50 items at a time?3) Why is a convention about the scripting language not enforced in the Subject? For example, "Mark this thread as [AS], [JS]" etc, as it is for "Mark this thread as a Question"?4) Why am I asked where I want the new thread to go? I'm in the InDesign Scripting area.5) Why am I by default receiving emails of threads? Why don't you have people opt in?6) Why is my login not remembered, when I specifically clicked the "Remember Me" checkbox?Thanks,egr

I would like to delete my forum profile, but don't know how. How do I do so?

I tried to respond to some posts earlier today (on the road) and discovered that I cannot create a response from an iPhone.  I have no ides if the problem lies with the iPhone of with the Jive software.  Let's just say I suspect the problem is with the Jive software.Is the response 'box' Flash code by any chance?

I always found the dw forum community to be enormously helpful and very easy to useIn contrast these web forums are a pain in the xxxxBring them back or lose another user

I need to create a short training video on how to use our company's On-Line Ordering system we have recently developed. It would basically record a trip thru our shopping cart with our voice adding commentary to the process.What Adobe program would be quickest and easiest to work with for something like this?I'd be posting the video on our site for visitors to view if they need help.Thanks!Barry
