It seems that it is now possible to start discussions via email again.

Hi,These forums are such fun. I was in the middle of typing this question first time round when I was jived around a little and asked to log in again -- just like that.Anyway, the question is: Is it now possible to start discussions and reply via email? Getting everything sent to my inbox, where it's sorted with filters, is easy. But I'm not able to answer (clicking reply results in a delivery failure notification). Nor am I able to initiate a discussion via email by clicking on the "Start a new discussion by email" link in the all forum messages that come into the inbox.I was able to get the forums software to send me a .vcf file (vCard) which claims to allow discussions to be created by email. But it doesn't seem to work.Is there some setting I'm overlooking in my forum account, or is this a wild goose chase?Thank you.Ariel

In this thread:Why can't I download Adobe Camera Raw 8.5?The OP marked my reply as correct when, in fact, it was incorrect. Can this be undone so that future searches do not stumble upon an incorrect answer?-OB

I find it somewhat annoying to have to go through the 3 step (~5 minute) processes of logging in again every time I pull up a book mark for the forums. Even simply navigating around the forums requires me to log in again at times.Is the cookie timeout just set for 20 minutes to an hour? Does the "remember me" checkbox do nothing? (that how it appears).Can we please get a cookie set so log in is not constantly required?

...is the message that shows at the bottom of my screen every time I go to a new forum page, which was not happening last nightNo changes to my computer since yesterday... has Adobe or Jive done something to the site's security certificate?

how do i get Adobe to stop phoning me?I have some old licenses, and i don't want the adobe subscription.Adobe upgrades are expensive enough as it is, but at least it was your choice to upgrade and it was generally only every two years.Now with subscription you are paying as much as an upgrade but now its yearly, which makes it twice as expensive as it use to be!And i don't want cloud storage!!!Now i have asked adobe not to call me again, every time that Adobe call center calls me.They call every few months trying to sell me subscription !!!Why do they LIE when they tell me they will make a note to not call me again!!!I just had another call a minute ago. I asked for the manager and the caller would not put me through. I asked for the managers name and they hung up on me!!!I have had enough of this.Please get your call center in order!AHHHHHHHHHHHHGgggggggggggggggggg

When I paste text from a Photoshop Script from ExtendScript Toolkit on the Photoshop Scripting Forum the text seems to get mutilated at times. The line     var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T   " ); should have, and in the clipboard created from ESTK indeed has, three spaces after T, but has only two spaces and the code subsequently errors when being run in Photoshop. Re: Script to copy Layer/Group to another Open Document?Is that peculiar to the Photoshop Scripting Forum? Does anybody have insight into possible reasons? The involved applications are ESTK 3.8.0.12, Mac OSX 10.8.5, Safari 6.1.1Regards, Pfaffenbichler

I hope this may be helpful for others, and I hope others will also share their findings, so everyone may benefit.After a good month with the latest forum version, I have found a way to carry on about as well as usual (however well that was).I believe there will be further improvements in the form of customizations/corrections, so we get some of the lost functionalities and options back, such as the latest poster name and time since latest post, and hopefully the ability to go straight to the latest post, just to name a few.The search is still rather weird, even weirder than before, and its now being hidden away in Overview makes it even less attractive to use. Hopefully there will be improvements there, too.I also miss some options which are more unlikely to reappear, such as having the search on the Contents/Discussion page and 100 threads showing in the list there.But as it is now, there are actually some things that are better than before the latest change:The different background c

Premier Elements forum is hidden for some reason.. How do I find it?  I am finding everything associated with PE 12 impossible to deal with.  Nothing works even trying to find the proper forum is frustrating.[Please choose only a short description for the thread title.]Message was edited by: Jim Simon

I usually view "Contents" of the current Fora I visit (Photoshop related mainly) so I can at least see if and how many replies have been posted to a thread. To me the listing of "Likes" and "Bookmarks" (usually 0, it seems) seem to unnecessarily convolute the display, which would not be so bad if the "Replies" would differ more prominently, maybe by having a darker color or a bolder font. And the author of the last post being listed would, as mentioned before, seem beneficial. Regards, Pfaffenbichler

I need to switch which ID I use here on the forums ... and need assistance from a staffer I understand to see what's possible.Neil

I know it's a faint hope, but is there any chance of finally getting the communities list on the main page (the start of which is shown below) actually sorted into alphabetic order? I am constantly responding to people who are posting in the wrong forum area because they cannot find the one they are looking for.And, yes, I know forum mods can move posts where they belong. That's not the point.--OB

obviously you're not catching it....can we please have a block or ignore button?

It used to be that most forums had a way to get directly to the full discussions list. For example, the Flash CC general had something like a "More" link at the bottom of trending or possibly Popular discussions. This wasn't consistent across forums even in the same community, but at least it was more direct than the current flow, or at least the best current flow I have found.:Select your community, press Go (would be cool if this would just go without that step).Select forumPick a discussion, any discussion.Go "up" from the individual discussion to the discussions list.It seems counterintuitive to me that you can get to the full discussions list from "below," but never from "above."In a related note, is it possible to save a setting somewhere how you want those sorted? As someone who is nearly always visiting to answer questions, I usually want to sort by "Date created: newest first." I get that you have optimized for the people asking for help, but these features would nice for us t

... so that I really have enough time to complete the post-processing of at least one image between two subsequent post loadings?.Thanks in advance.

You're going to have to eat your words, you weird British tax maiden.  You are the most insulting, obnoxious, irritating and presumptuous forum user I've ever run across.   In your case, MVP stands for Most Vicious Person!You think you know everything but you know nothing, zilch! Now you dare call me a liar without any foundation at all!    I shall report this as ABUSE.Here's the thread in question:Added text with type tool matches photo resolutionGo read it, if you think you have an ounce of human decency left in your weak bones.Notice the thread starter, which is the only one that can award points, is Mary Lou Frost.By marking her "thank you" post as the correct answer she has inded given herself the points.A couple of posts later, I remark as follows:<image sabotaged>You can easily recognize my avatar even in the screen shots, which naturally reflect my real email name rather than station_two.

This Connection is Untrusted is a message I get frequently since the new update.  Seems like is appears frequently when I use back arrow to get  back to discussion. Use Avast Security program, Win 7.

Just received a Notice about a Password Reset is there anything to it? Is it Legit?

I was rolling over my profile and noticed 8600 points, then I rolled over the other leaders in the After Effects forum and noticed that they also had 8600 points. Then I rolled over a post by someone that just joined the group and has only 1 post. He also has 8600 points. I think the points system is broken.... OSX 10.9.2Safari 7.0.3Chrome, Firefox, Firefox Nightly...Any user, any forum, 8600 points. I think this feature got broken....

https://forums.adobe.com/people/Atiqur%20SumonI know this has already been discussed and dismissed under a general "benefit of the doubt". And yes, I can see that side.But there are now so many outright weird posts from this person that I think someone should look into it, if that's possible. Not one of them makes any sense at all, and some of them can easily be taken as offensive.Somehow I get the distinct feeling that this is not a person talking, but a robot. The words are all connected, but the context of the discussion is totally missed in every case, and with remarkable consistency.

When I ask this message from the obvious French of the text to English:I receive this message:

Using the Adobe forums has had its foibles, but this last update is the final straw.It's slow, it's confusing, it's lacking familiar features. It's making my participation unnecessarily difficult and unpleasant. It's supposed to be a community where Adobe users help each other out, but, as someone who likes to give back what I receive, I'm just not going to bother if the new format makes my life difficult. It's not like I'm getting paid to help solve people's problems.At last, the auto-login feature was fixed, but I'd gladly have that problem back if it meant that the website was faster, it was easier to see which threads were new and mark all as read when I'm finished. Notifications are now so confusing I am ready to give up, rather than try to respond quickly.Someone at Adobe should read this this book: Advanced Common Sense - Don't Make Me Think

Dieser Fehler taucht immer auf,wenn ich in Bridge CC mit einem Doppelklick irgendein Preset in After Effects importieren möchte.Was kann ich tun?

I am having a problem, when a video uses Flash Player and I right click it I don't get the option to copy video URL, but when I uninstall Flash player, I get the option. So how can I make it so that I can have Flash Player installed, and get the option to copy the video URL?

I'm trying to print a book file and each time I select print I get this error -- Internal Error 12004, 16381268, 16381562, 19311797.
