When I now click the blue Reply button, I have no icon to insert images in the post.  Only the insert video icon is showing.  I am only able to post this screenshot by click and drag (then double-clicking the image to open up the sizing options).  A user was complaining that he could not find the insert photo icon that I had given him a screenshot for.  I thought he was not clicking the blue Reply button, but he insisted he was.  The only way he was able to post a screenshot was to create a new post.  Adobe, please add this to my bill for wasted time.    

There doesn't appear to be a redirect setup for any old forum links!For instance, both google and a user profile show the link: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2220506But when clicked on, you are redirected to the main forum page and there is no content from the post. Thankfully google stored a cached copy of the post I was trying to reference, and I was able to locate the user's profile:https://forums.adobe.com/people/jakec88782761/content?query=set+pageWhich show the post still exists somewhere...New posts links are formatted as: https://community.adobe.com/t5/InDesign/Welcome-to-the-new-InDesign-community/td-p/10602867Referencing old content is EXTREMELY necessary for the scripting community, so it's a necessity this content is restored, or needs to offer a much needed, extensive, thorough and transparent update to all scripting documentation, and extendscript.

The new forum is absolutely awful. Not only are a lot of old and valuable posts lost, the scripting forums are gone, everything takes forever to load, no, now Adobe bothers me with an email about a recent post of mine that I should mark an answer as correct.Only, there is no button for that? At least none that I find.So, how do I mark an answer as correct?

Hi,This forum is almost unusable anyway since its installation but this morning, it is extremely slow and dysfunctional. I'm getting "Preview card List component Fail " errors all the time, threads may be displayed partially or not at all, etc. If this message reaches your screen, you can call this a miracle.

every single time i post something, i select "email when someone replies" and i never get an email, i forget i made the post, then2 weeks later, i happen to come here and see i have a reply. replies are not going to spam, i checked. when i reply to some one, the interface shows a one line field for me to type in, it does not expand, nor can i add any attachments to my reply.

Too many ordinary posts are getting red flagged for Spam and redirected to Abuse.   What's that all about?   Somebody just PM'd me about it.  What should we tell folks?  How can we effect spam flag removal so the original post appears in the intended board and in the user's Profile?

Pages don't load. Discussions with multiple replies shows just the OP. Some forums come up but with no topic titles.   Again this forum is FUBAR. It's not me or my computer.

I moved two posts today, or at least I thought I did:  one to Holding that I was going to report for abuse and one to a new thread in Photoshop Elements. Neither one appeared in the place to which it was supposed to be moved.

Hello, I regularly  share techincal guidance in the Adobe Acrobat support forums on a daily basis. There has been occasions in which my answers have solved an issue for an Adobe customer; quite a few users have brought to my attention that they are not able to mark the answer as correct. So they have to give a like or change the subject line by appending the word SOLVED.  

I'm was following Actionscript2/3 forums, but gone?!please advise thanks

The new forum has been live for a while now but why has not the issue with auto-log-out being adressed yet? This should have been adressed before the new forum even went live.   Everytime i visit any forum i need to sign in and it needs to be resolved asap.   I see it in: Opera 63.0.3368.94 (Chromium based) Microsoft Edge Dev Build 79.0.287.3 (Chromium based) Microsoft Edge 44.18362.387.0 Microsoft internet Explorer 11.357.18362.0    

I have to ask about certain functionality that seems missing or incorrect. At the top of the message board is a SORT dropdown, it is always set to "Relevant". I set it to "Latest", but the next time I visit that page (or even refresh the page), it goes back to "Relevant". Please make "Latest" sticky.There seems to be no way to quote the portion of the original message that you are referring to, other than manual copy and paste.There is no block-quote feature.When I want to reply to the original post, I can click on the blue Reply button (with white text), and I get a window that has icons for italic and bold and underline and so on. If I want to reply to one of the replies, and I click on the black text that says reply, there seems to be no way to use bold, italic, underline and so on.I cannot find any way to send private e-mails, even though you say above "feel free to contact me directly". I am using Chrome 76.0.3809.132 on Windows 10 Enterprise.  

Just want to do a search but the "Search field" is confusing:Why are there two fields?Why is there no "clear" button on at least one of them?Why don't ALL threads appear when there is nothing in the Search field?I have to navigate back to the forum  to view all threads. That seems illogical.

I had the weirdest thing happen. I was logged in and posted a reply to a post. Immediately I got three popups telling me I had replied to to a post I was following (!!!!). And then I noticed I had also been logged out of the forums. Except my post posted correctly (!!). So something is very messed up with whatever login system is being used.

I am confused about my community account here.  I seem to have been reset since the forums were updated.  I can still reach my previous account from emails about forum topics, but I am required to post as though I have only just joined now.  My previous account goes back to 2013, and I'd like to maintain the ability to look up those posts and conversations.  Is that possible?

Logged-in users must not be counted as views when viewing or editing their own posts. This totally skews and falsifies the metrics. Surely this shiny new forum is advanced enough to distinguish between someone else peeking and poking at a topic than the original creator... Mylenium

See this.  

Much feedback was posted in the Back Room by Top contributors on this site.  I never thought the Jive Powered site was great for it has some issues.   Lithium make Jive look great.  I can not understand why Adobe chose to use Lithium as a replacement for Jive other then Lithium  purchased Jive and announced it was stopping new Jive development.  All the feedback I have seen has been negative and IMO its justified.    Adobe should not try to fix up Lithium they should evaluate the best  of the current forum packages and pick a replacement for Lithium. forum software 2019

Some messages have a translate option open with the message   Other messages doen't and the translate option at the bottom of the message is gone

This is a massive step backwards and actually a big mistake on Adobe's part. The forums are now useless without the rich history of solutions from the past. I would say all old questions and replies are still relevant today. Just because someone hasn't searched for them in a while doesn't mean they need archiving. I would petition that Adobe restore all of the historical data as soon as possible.    [Moved from “InDesign” to “Community Feedback” by moderator.]

To much White Space all over these forums and by not displaying the first 2 line of the post under the title that would help with the to much white space.    

Feature request. Set the sort order on the main forum page to by Sticky for each user or make it in Alphabetical order. What is popular when you need to post to Forum A, B, C and so on. Now you have to Scroll down through the list that is NOT in any recognisable order. At least if it was in alphabetical order you would know where you have to go to get to the forum you need to post a question to.   I Think (and I'm a pretty good Thinker) that is why we are seeing some many post in the Get Started forum that have Nothing to do with Getting Started.

So in the Community Help forum someone asked about theAdobe Experience Manager, AEM, and was directed to the oolder forums. Which for AEM is still active. But we are stuck on the POS MESS of a forum. How can that be.       Here is the post in this forum that pointed to the older forums.   https://community.adobe.com/t5/Community-Help/User-generated-content-sync-between-two-publishers-in-AEM-Sling/td-p/10649787  

The buttons for replying and posting disappear on mundane browser operations such as resizing the window, switching to another tab or downloading content (e.g. an image a user posted) from another tab while the reply input field is open. Seems like some script is running amok, in particular when there are two or more instances of forum pages open at any given time, but I'm too lazy to dig into the debug console. Windows 10, latest version of Chrome (77.0.3865.90, 64 bit). Mylenium
