2 questions about this forum

Since the forums have been reorganized (yeah, I know its been a while).  I never fail to be confused when I try to use them.
For instance:
1) At the top of the list of questions for adobe Bridge general discussion, I see the Heading:
"Trending Questions"
What on earth is that supposed to mean.  What does "trending" mean in this unusual usage?
2) How can I get an advanced search dialog for this particular forum? When I click on the `Be sure to search the forum' link it just pops me to a new page apparently 1 layer back from this forum to Bridge with the lamest search dialog I've seen on any forum.
I'd like to search for a particular poster, or a particular date range or etc etc.  How can I do that?

Had to do a little research as "trending questions" was a puzzler.  You are looking at the  bridge general discussion page, and I always bring up the Bridge Forum page where trending is not there.  Think it refers to current questions.
Some forums have a "search this forum only" box, but none has been set up here.  You can the user name and have it return posts.  If you know the subject it is still more complete search to use google.
Back on an older thread ... You mention "Bringing up" the bridge forum on a different page than the one with that silly "Trending questions" baloney.
I'm curious how you do that... when I find the forums, ususally from a google search with "Adobe forums" Bridge or insert another adobe product where you see "Bridge" in the string.  That always lands me at the page with "Trending Questions" and with no obvious way to get to the actual forum other than a list near the top of page that includes "Bridge: General Discussion"... ok, clicking that again brings a page with the "Trending questions" non-sense.
At that point the only way I see to get to the actual forum is to click one of the "Trending questions", from that page you can see a link at the top that says: " Adobe Community > Bridge > Bridge General Discussion >   Discussions "
where you can finally get to a usable forum page.
One could, of course, book mark that... but it seems like a very unnecessary and convoluted path to find a usable forum.
I'm guessing there is some other obvious way I'm not seeing?

  • I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM... I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM? Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?

    I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM...
    I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM?
    Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?
    I've learned  by reading other topics that I can't upgrade my graphics card on my Macbook Pro because it's soldered into the motherboard or somthing like that, but please tell me if there is any way to get more video ram by chaning some setting or upgrading something else. I'd also like to know why I only have 256MB of VRAM when I have 8GB of RAM, since I have 8GB of RAM I thought I was supposed to have 560mb of VRAM...
    So the two questions are...
    Is there any way to upgrade my VRAM, so that I can play games on steam?
    Why do I only have 256MB VRAM when I have 8GB total RAM?
    Other Info:
    I have a quad core i7 Processor.
    My graphcics card is the AMD Radeon HD 6490M.
    I am also trying to play games on my BOOTCAMPed side of my mac, or my Windows 7 Professional side.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU CAN REPLY,

    The only two items that a user can change on a MBP are the RAM and HDD (Retinas not included).  You have what the unit came with and the only way you will be able to change that is to purchase a MBP with superior graphics
    If you are very much into gaming, the I suggest A PC.  They are far superior for that type of application to a MBP.

  • Is there a limit of number of questions in this forum?

    Because I posted some questions which were removed..

    Is there a limit of number of questions in this forum? No, but forum etiquette strongly suggests you keep a thread on any individual topic continuous (that means together no matter how long that thread might become). So, you should NOT post separate individual questions for every tiny nuance you might have.
    The inherent nature of a forum is that thread topics get spread far apart as time goes by. If your inquiry is splattered into individual new posts, they WILL get scattered and your topic will no longer make any sense.
    Anyone you hope to respond to you will lose all focus on the topic and will just no longer try to give you answers.

  • How to effectively ask a question on this forum

    Ok, so this'll take a little explaining. I was kinda bored over my lunch break, so i decided I'd write a general reference for how to post well on this forum. I realize that many people aren't gonna read this the first time they post, but i thought it would be a good thing to reference when replying to people who post a poor question.
    _10 Ways to Post a Good Question on this Forum_
    _1) Write a descriptive subject line_
    This is the first thing that people see, and it influences how they read a question. Subjects like "Java error" tell people nothing about your problem. Subjects like "How to implement a SAX parser for use in multiple classes" are infinitely more useful.
    _2) Don't use phrases such as URGENT or HELP ME!!! or IT'S DUE IN AN HOUR!!!!_
    The people on this forum don't have the same priorities as you, and therefore don't care if your problem is urgent. In fact, they find it rude to assert that your problem should be solved before somebody else's just because you procrastinated. They also don't pleas for help too fondly. Typically posters who write this sort of phrase in their post has given up and become helpless, making it very difficult to guide them to the answer. Also, keep the caps lock off. THERE IS NOTHING MORE ANNOYING THAN ALL-CAPS POSTS. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE YELLING, and people will make you aware of how it annoys them.
    _3) Dont post your homework assignments asking for "teh codez"_
    You will get flamed like none other for this sort of question. You may get codes, but when you submit them to your instructor, you may get suspended or expelled (depending on your school's cheating policy). The people on this forum are more advanced than you in Java, and can make it painfully obvious to your instructor that you cheated.
    _4) Write in normal English_
    Think of this forum as your supervisor or instructor, you want to sound professional and convey your question effectively. SMS speak or any other sort of abbreviation of the English language becomes difficult to read, and many people on this forum won't even try. This forum is filled with professionals in the Java world, and they are accustomed to reading true English (full sentences).
    _5) Don't be helpless_
    This forum is here mainly to help with specific problems, not to teach you Java. If you don't know where to start, a person is most likely going to tell you to write the solution out on paper first, breaking it down into small steps that can be accomplished by the computer.
    _6) Do your research_
    Many of the questions posted can be solved with a quick Google search. You should check a few places before you even post a question. They include: this forum (do a forum search), Google (do a Google search), the API's (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/), and the Java Tutorials(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/)
    _7) Post code and errors with your question_
    The answer to your problem is in the error messages and the code. Instead of asking a general question about for loops, post the code that you have written and the error info that you get. When asking a question it is IMPERATIVE that you have tried to do it your own way, because the people on the forum mostly won't do it for you, they'll only point out where you have done it wrong and try to help you fix it. Don't paraphrase your error messages, because there are subtleties in the actual messages that you may unknowingly edit out.
    _8) Don't Multi-post_
    It is rude to post the same question multiple times or in multiple places in the this forum. This is for the same reason as #2, it makes it seem that you think your problem is more urgent or important than others' problems.
    _9) Don't resurrect dead threads_
    If a thread is 3 years old, nobody is going to remember it, so make a new thread to ask your question. If you have a question about something in the old thread, reference it through a hyperlink.
    _10) Take it easy_
    As long as the people in the forum see that you're legitimately trying to help yourself, they'll help you as much as they see fit. The biggest problem that newbies have is they rely on the forum to spoonfeed them the info, and it's not going to happen. They'll either get flamed or ignored. The people on the forum aren't trying to find "fresh meat to flame", they legitimately want to help you, and they'll typically give you fair warning if you're doing something annoying or unorthodox.

    There does seem to be a way to sticky posts, but I think only mods and admins have the power to do it. There's one over on the Generics forum : http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=316
    I've been trying to add a pseudo-signature to my posts as far as possible, with a link to a page which pretty much covers this stuff, only it's on JavaRanch:
    People on the forum help others voluntarily, it's not their job.
    Help them help you.
    Learn how to ask questions first: http://faq.javaranch.com/java/HowToAskQuestionsOnJavaRanch
    But I've had a couple of occasions where the OPs thought it was directed at them and they got a tad upset :)
    And without hyperlinks, I'm not quite sure how many people actually take the pains to go to that page.
    Ah well, no one can say I didn't try.

  • Yet Another Expressing anger and dissatisfaction over the Cyan situation. How can you ignore so many and not answer a single question about this?

    When I bought my Icon it was advertised as being "8.1 ready." Soon, I was led to believe, I would have Cortana. I was told that there were improvements to the camera that were in the Cyan firmware. As this phone had high spec hardware and was being called the Windows "flagship phone" on Verizon, I had no reason to doubt the update would arrive.
    Not only did it not, as we are all aware, but as months went by and people took to this forum, other Windows forums and Twitter to complain and question, Verizon has never put out a simple clear statement to their customers about what their intentions are and when they might take action. I feel deceived and ignored.
    To not address this in any way when so many are so vocally asking is rude. Quite simply rude.
    Even today the Icon is available online at the Microsoft store and the copy there says that this phone is "Windows Phone 8.1 ready" with an asterisk that leads to the disclaimer that "update availability and timing varies by carrier." It has been four months since this update began rolling out.
    What has led me to post this and lend my voice to the chorus is the articles published in the last day or two saying that Verizon has now changed the status of the update to "under development." Once again, without a single word of explanation or apology. Without a single message to all of their customers who have been asking for information for months. Again, just rude.
    These articles suggest the reason for the delay is Verizon's dissatisfaction with how their apps are working with 8.1. Of course there is no way for me to know if this is true since Verizon will not say anything at all about it. So I might as well believe what the reports say I guess. This of course makes the whole thing so much worse.
    Verizon, are you seriously holding up this thing that all of your customers want so as to make sure the horrible bloatware that no one wants will "work"?! You can't put out the update and then fix your terrible apps yourself like every other app maker? Only so that we can then uninstall them anyway? This is ridiculous and insulting.
    Verizon is always trying to disable phone features to customer's detriment and their profit. I don't doubt that is what this delay is about. Now it is difficult to tether my phone without paying an extra fee even though the feature is built into Windows Phone. Just a way to keep me from using the data that I payed for and that is allotted to me. In the old days you couldn't move pictures off of your phone through the usb cable you had. You had to send them over the network and use data.
    Why not try providing services instead of taking them away and delaying them? Why not treat customers well instead of ignoring their questions? Why not do what is right and allow Microsoft to update their hardware, hardware that we bought after being told that it was 8.1 ready?

    Hi Danny-CoolKID,
    AIM for Mac is not at version 5.9
    It is here http://www.aim.com/getaim/mac/latestmacosx.adp?aolp=0
    It is still at version 4.7 and the pages style has not been changed along with the other AIM pages.
    It does NOT do Audio or Video Chats.
    If you are looking at text only then also consider
    1) Proteus (Site being revamped at present)
    2) AdiumX
    Both these are third party software that can connect to multiple services.
    As iVmichael says there are other crossplatform solutions as well.

  • About this forum [OT]

    Hi there,
    just a question about the link "Watch this forum" I clicked but still not getting any email when somebody post new messages?
    Am I doing something wrong?

  • Some questions about this section.

    Hello,
    First of all I want to say sorry: "Sorry!" I do not want that this topic will look like a complaint. I just want to clarify some points for me and maybe for everybody (and make this world a little bit better) If you feel bad about this topic or some dislike, just ignore it, I can overcome it)
    First of all it is really can be confusing what is going there (in this forum branch) and how to use this. I suggest to create and pin some topic which will explain everything:
     - What type of service do you provide? Just bios unlocking or something else?
     - What is bios unlocking? Give some typical scenarios for using unlocked bios: overclocking, specific options (like "vtd" disabled by default, but I want use it) I suppose you know tons of examples. Give some common list of unlocked features or at least description of what we will have inside unlocked bios.
     - How to make a topic? What should I include in the name of the topic? Notebook model name or also bios?
     - What to put into topic? What information you need? Bios name, bios date, EC version, EC build? Do you need link to the bios file?
     - What is the usual "life cycle" of procedure? Create topic, wait for approve, donate, wait again, say "thank you"
     - How much is the typical amount of donation? If it is "up to you", say at least some typical range like from 5 to 10$. Or at least say that the biggest donation was 314$ (this will be interesting and someone will try to beat it)
    And one more personal question from me: Is it so critical to clear CMOS after flashing bios? I mean I have a notebook with warranty sticker and I do not want to remove it. Yes I know it will not void my warranty, but in any case having this sticker will make all warranty things much more easier. And yes I know that flashing unofficial bios theoretically void my warranty, but I see no problem if I would use it for enabling, for example, virtualization in unofficial bios and after that replace factory defected memory. In my opinion it is not connected with bios at all and I should be able to use virtualization and a lot of other hidden option in my notebook (because it is my).
    Thank you for your attention, I hope you will grab some useful information from my questions. And yes, you are right, as soon as I will have an answer (or no answer) I am going to request unlocked bios)

    No, we won't make a step by step guide as someone needing a modded bios should know what information is needed and what he wants. If not don't ask for a mod bios that isn't covered by warranty and which will leave you with no one else but yourself to blame if something goes wrong. Donation depends on the person modding. If the donation asked is too high for you just say no thanks.
    Also bios unlocking is no "service" of the forum but by the person doing it. Simply ask for an unlock wait if someone responds if that is possible and if so ask that person for how much to donate. Shouldn't be that hard and quite easy to guess.
    If you are afraid of voiding your warranty this section is most likely not the right section for you. Using unofficial bios versions might end up in having a dead machine without warranty.

  • About this forum

    hi
    i used to surf this forum using outlook express.
    it doesn't work any more.
    why?
    is it only web now?
    lenny

    The Adobe and Macromedia forums were on different servers and used completely different software. After the two companies merged several years ago, it was decided the forums should also merge. It finally happened in April.
    Unfortunately, the new system doesn't support NNTP. This has upset a lot of people, some of whom decided to leave, and have not returned. Whatever you feel about the decision, it's a done deal. The end of NNTP support, along with other issues concerning the way the new forum software works, has been debated to death.
    If you want to discuss this any further, the place to do so is in the Forum Comments forum.

  • First Question, is this forum only in english?

    I use Adobe Creative Design Web Premium Suite CS 6.0 on my computer here.
    I have the second license installed om my Notebook at home.
    Now I become a new very fast WIN 7 Computer and I would install CS 6 before I work with this computer in 1..2 Weeks on this new Computer - without deactivate first here on my working Computer.
    Is that possible?
    Par example I install on my new computer CS6 with the activation Nr., then I become a message I can't install before i deactivate one license....???
    Thank you for a answer...
    Kind regards
    Kurt
    My question on the top: is this forum only in english language???

    First Answer:  No, the forums are not only in English language, but they are supported by a majority of people that do speak the English language.  If you look you will see an option to "Translate" which can sometimes be used to translate a posting to a different language.  I say "Sometimes" because sometimes it is broken and will not work and sometimes it will translate something to a form that is hard to understand.
    As far as your activations go, you are only allowed two activations at any given time.  So if you have two already activated then you need to deactivate (Help -> Deactivate) one of them in order to activate yet another machine.

  • Having bad luck asking questions in this forum...

    I wonder if there is a better way or better visibility in this forum? All my questions go unanswered..
    Is there a specified format or does it depend on the location?
    Thanks..

    Hi palkin,
    "All my questions go unanswered.."
    Wow, you made 4 posts so far. 4 posts in 3 threads (including this one). 2 of those threads got answers. One answer arrived just one hour after questioning - on an early Monday morning! What more do you want/expect?

  • Posting Headstart questions on this forum

    Dear all,
    The Headstart Oracle Designer forum was originally intended as a platform for discussions on the use of the Headstart Template Package and Utilities in conjuction with Oracle Designer. For this reason, the Oracle Headstart team monitors this forum and tries to answer questions and solve problems for our customers that are using Headstart.
    As it turns out, the forum is now used for a much broader number of topics, including database and SQLnet, Web Server Generator, Forms 6i, non-Headstart related Designer issues, and many more. This is not a problem; appearently for some topics a more appropriate forum is not available and as long as people 'find eachother' on this forum it is serving its purpose.
    An unfortunate side effect is that for the Headstart team it is becoming increasingly difficult to locate the 'real Headstart' topics in the list. Therefore we would like to ask anyone that wants to post a Headstart related topic to make this clear in the Subject. Ideally, this would be done by starting the subject with 'HST' when it involves the Template Package, or 'HSU' when it involved the Utilities. If you could then add the Headstart version number to it, it would really make our day! So for instance:
    "HST6i: Problem creating MSEL lov"
    "HSU212: Error in "Create Find Window" utility
    If you do not know how to classify your topic in this manner, at least make sure to put the word "Headstart" in the Subject.
    Thank you!
    Pete

  • Question about this job SXMS_REFRESH_ADAPTER_STATUS

    Hi experts,
        For what is this job: SXMS_REFRESH_ADAPTER_STATUS ?? The SAP people recommend me to schedule this jobs in my XI environment but I check over the internet to find some information of it but I don't find much. Someone can explain me the uses about this job and what are the risk if I use it? if any..
    Thanks a lot people!

    Hi, Its not to delete the messages, i was searching thru SDN and found this -
    the idoc-adapter converts the payload to an idoc and creates an rfc-call in background task. This call is managed by the tRFC schedules, which works in a different task than the xi runtime.
    After calling the trfc-layer, the xi-message is completed and there is no chance for the xi-runtime to check if the message was successfully transfered to the receiver system. The RFC-Schedules checks regulary the receiver resources, if one is free the rfc-call is transfered to the receiver system. The report SXMS_REFRESH_ADAPTER_STATUS is scheduled in background task and checks if the calls are executed by the rfc-Scheduler. There is no other technical solution possible here for a faster procession. It is an asynchronous protocol, not a synchronous.
    Hope this helps.

  • FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

    When asking a question on the Premiere Pro user-to-user forums, you can make it easier for folks to help you by proactively providing the answers to the following questions:
    What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2)).
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.5"---not just "Mac".
    What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    What were you doing when the problem occurred?
    Has this ever worked before?
    What other software are you running?
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about your GPU, any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU) and the type of media drives you are using.
    What kind of GPU do you have installed, including make, model number, and GPU driver?
    Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
    Do you still have the issue when choosing Project Settings > General > Renderer > Mercury Playback Engine (Software Only)?
    Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
    Screenshots and sample movies are often very useful in showing exactly what you're seeing, and can thus make getting an answer faster and easier.
    Also, please do everyone a favor and check the Premiere Pro FAQ list and also do a quick Premiere Pro Community Help search to see if your question has been addressed already.

    Try contacting support directly. Be sure to ask for the video queue: Contact Customer Care

  • Question about discussion forum login

    I don't know where else to post this, and I realize it is a dumb question, but here it is anyway.
    When I log onto the discussion forum, I get an error message. I am able to continue, by just clicking on the "discussion" link at the top of the page, so it is not a major problem, but I'm curious why for the last month and a half I've been receiving this error message every time I sign on.
    Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Russel, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    Yep, I get that too. After I login I go to my Bookmarks where I have 5 forums and then, at the bottom, I "open in tabs." They all come up logged in. :~) So use bookmark or history to go straight to where you want.

  • Switching Sides - A few questions about this build

    Well, here I am... A Final Cut Pro user building a new box for Premier CS5. Would you believe it? I'm mostly working with AVCHD / H.264 hopefully natively depending on how the system performs. Mostly just editing in Premier and converting to MPEG, and H.264 for the web and blu ray.
    Here is build that I have came up with. I love the case, it looks huge.
    Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
    GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R
    Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz
    Mushkin Enhanced Redline 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
    EVGA 012-P3-1470-AR GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280MB
    CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-650HX 650W ATX12V v2.2
    I have a few questions if you guys don't mind:
    1) The RAM i listed is speed 6. But it's only 6gb. I could spend more and get 12GB but it would be much slower (speed 9). I'm really only using premier, encoder, and encore. Little if no AE, etc. Will the performance gain be worth it to invest in slower 12GB ram?
    2) Any experience with the Matrox card? Everything I make gets exported to blu ray and some of it online (h.264). Seems like the $500 would be well spent.
    3) What is the cheapest version of Windows 7 that has the features someone like me would need?
    4) Is the PSU enough @ 650w? I plan on it powering 6+ HDDs.
    I greatly apprechiate any help! Thank you so much!

    My CS5/AVCHD 1st Impressions http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 includes a link to what I built
    According to other messages, 12Gig gives about a 30% performance boost over 6Gig
    Win7 64bit Pro is what I have, and what I would use again if I was building
    What Matrox card?
    The GTX 470 is the current "sort'a budget" card, with the Hack http://forums.adobe.com/thread/629557?tstart=0
    A 650w power supply is not enough... get 850w as a minimum... not only for the drives, but the GTX 470 uses a LOT of power... for you, 1000w may be better for that many drives (plus, of course, your burner)
    Get any optional case fans for your model... I do not overclock, and I bought an after market CPU cooler to replace the stock Intel model, as well as two 120mm case fans to blow directly on the CPU cooler and GTX 285
    Buy http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm and use it to make full boot drive image backups after every step of your build, when you are sure everything is working well, so you may easily restore to a known good state if you install some piece of software and it screws up your system
