AWESOME new forum feature!

Check this out!
They have just added the ability to not only post your question but to also reply after someone has taken the time to try and help you out...so cool!
They've even added a new feature that allows you to mark posts as 'helpful' or 'solved'.
Man, this is so great...look into it people.
(and yes, I do feel better now thank you)

i feel kind of strange beating this originally funny, now just "tweet tweet, who let the buzz-kill in" post ... chowever,
good to know the 2 yellow, 1 green rule
now, i tried to go back & give a 2nd helpful person a yellowhelpful, but i couldn't figure out how;
also, i couldn't figure out how to "call it" and mark the forum as solved
i guess, you've got to enter those stars on the reply to the helpful/solved post -- if not, you forego the right/opportunity to mark them with stars
it is absolutely ridiculous that i care this much about this --
at the same time,
i care to make music
i am using logic to make music
this forum is invaluable to flowing with logic
& so, i should know how to flow with this forum
off off topic:
the real question:
why do i care to make music
it does not seem to care for me

OT: New Forum Feature

Has anyone noticed the new breadcrumb links at the bottom of the topic pages?
-Jeff

Oh, the "flags." How I miss my flags. I want my flags - I want my flags!
The "New" bug/banner was also nice and is missed. "Last Post" is good, but obviously only shows the "last post." There could well be a dozen, since the previous visit. Those little bugs were great too.
While I miss both of those in most of the Adobe fora, I REALLY miss them in the Encore Forum/sub-fora.
Dang, I feel like a whinner, and DO like some aspects of the new forum layout. I also realize that it is a work in progress. I can even take having to log-in about half the time, and will tolerate being kicked off, even if I posted 40 sec. before. That this new scheme does try and save much of the post, that did not go through, is a positive. Do not know what its timing is, but I've actually gotten back ~ 50% on some posts.

New forum features, again

Hi all,
And once again, there are new features and updates for you rolling out within the next day or so.
1. The avatar issue that some of us were having last week has been resolved, so avatars should be working for you. As I mentioned in the previous thread, I would give it 24 hours for your avatar to be approved, but it will most likely be faster than that.
2. You may have already noticed some UI changes related to our new communities coming on board, and there will be a handful more. All communities share a common set of public pages such as communications and dashboard, so you'll start to see a message on those pages indicating that they are public. There will also be a similar message popping up on the OTN home page in the next week or so. This is a temporary workaround to a larger issue that will eventually be fixed in Jive 7. In the meantime, we tried to make the messages as unobtrusive as possible.
3. Direct messaging, as we've mentioned before, is being enabled. This will only work for you if you are mutually following someone. We have a thread on Pros and cons of personal messaging. if you'd like to weigh in on the philosophical aspects of this feature.
4. Finally, I am still working on fixes to the editor, monitoring the email notification issue, and gathering information about the create document feature. I'll keep you posted.
I've locked the previous thread, so you can report glitches with any and all of the new features here.
Thanks!

If I go to my Communications tab it shows the message "This is a shared public page. To go to your community, use "Go Directly To.""
I'm a little confused how my own communications are a 'public' page?
I know you're trying to help those who are 'internal' to recognise when they're possibly going to post something in public, but not sure if having this on a persons own communications is valid.

New forum feature: A button or option to jump to the first unread message in a thread.

It would be handy if we had a way to open a thread and jump to the first unread message in the thread. This is especially usual when reading very active threads and it would save us some time getting back to the point in the discussion where we left off.

Welcome to our new forums!

Hey all,
We are very excited to announce the release of Edge Animate 1.0 and welcome to the community. During our Preview period we hosted our community discussions on http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/edge/, which is now archived and read-only. We encourage you to continue your Edge Animate discussions, feedback, requests and bug reports here on our new forum.
To our new users, we hope you find this forum useful with feedback provided from both the core Animate team and valued community members. To our existing users, thank you for your invaluable contribution to Animate and for helping us shape the product you know today. We couldn't have done it without you.
Happy posting!
Sarah Hunt
Product Manager, Adobe Edge Animate

Animate Free is great news indeed A big thank to Adobe.
And even bigger thanks to those who made it all possible... huge kudos and thanks to all the ladies in the Adobe House (like Sarah and Elaine ^_^) and gents (Mark'n'Co!) who have been providing support 24/7 along with the whole Adobe Edge Team Wizards working their magic behind the scenes . Also thanks to the community members for being so helpful sharing their knowledge helping us dig each other out when one of us got stuck in a rut or found a major bump on the road.
I enjoyed being a little part of this evolution from preview 3 onwards as see how Edge now "Edge Animate" had grown into a more mature product. In a short time much has been accomplished and that's for sure an achievement to be proud of at all levels from the Adobe team all the way to those who blasted with requests and have been nagging Mark with unsolicited e-mail suggestions and feedback... yep, that'd be me and no I ain't done yet Mark since you haven't replied asking me to stop ! LOL
Either my emails have been auto-routed to trash, or you are listening in silence (judging to what happen between Preview 4~5 and 7). Those who may know what I sent over may be grinning proudly with a "we made it all the way down the laundry list... mostly" And I'd say yes you did... congrats for doing such a great job guys (and girls of course!)
Now I wouldn't want to quote "The Wolf" and repeat here what he said after Julius and Vince were done cleaning up the mess in the car at Jimmy's LOL ! So a mention should suffice for those who remember that scene and getting my drift, realize that despite this awesome achievement, there's still a lot to be done
It's an Edge, not a Peak... the Edge does not remain steadily in the same place and once conquered can be conquered all over again in the same way. An Edge is has a life of its own and is indeed "animated" as it keeps moving in various directions. So the the Wiz Team at Adobe have their job cut for themselves with all that will come in the future where the evolution will intevitably move towards making evem simpler and more intuitive the UI adding more interactive and powerful features to Edge Animate, while continuing to empower creatives across the globe by making the process from conceptualization to realization increasingly smoother, easier and painless via the intuitive Edge Animate workspace UI.
So once again thanks, kudos and much love to the entire community... and here is a toast to you all with the hope that we'll continue the journey in the same fun and fruitful direction that has led us here today.
Cheers!

New Forum FAQ

This is a work in progress and will be re-formatted soon into individual Question/Answers in an FAQ subforum.
Can I over write the forums style sheets to change the layout?
Yes, Please see this discussion of scripts that can help you change your view of the Forums: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/294008?tstart=30
How can I see the interface in Japanese, French, German, Spanish, or Simplified Chinese?
In order to see pages in these languages, you can click the Region links at the top of page (where it lists a country name and says “Change”), choose your region and language from the pop-up menu. Click on "Remember this choice" under the menu.
Why do some older messages appear with parentheses around user names?
For a three-month period before our new forums were launched, we encouraged users to go through an account migration process to associate their former User to User forum IDs with their Adobe ID. Accounts with the parentheses are from those users who had content in the old Adobe User to User Forums, but who have not yet signed into the new system. The parentheses were added to these account names so they could be imported into the new system without clashing with screen names associated with Adobe IDs.
Once a user logs in with that account in the new system the parentheses will go away.
How do I participate in the Adobe Online Forums via email?
Visit the forum you wish to participate in and click on the link to "Receive email notifications". You will start receiving new messages posted in that forum. You can reply to the messages directly from your email or you can click on a link in the message to come back to the forum.
Can I start a new discussion topic via email?
Yes. Once you have subscribed to a forum you can click on the “Your Stuff” link in the forums, click on “Mailing Lists” and find a "Create Discussion" email link for each forum you are subscribed to. Copy the full email address (it may wrap onto two lines) into your email client's address book and send new discussions to this address.
Can I include a file attachment via email?
You can include a file attachment in an email that starts a new forum discussion, but you cannot attach a file to an email reply to an existing discussion.
How do I stop receiving email notifications from the Adobe Forums?
To discontinue receiving thread subscription updates, you can change your personal settings in the web-based forums. To do this, login to the Adobe Forums by visiting http://forums.adobe.com/ and click on "Login".
Once you've logged in with your Adobe ID and password, click the menu item labeled "Your Stuff" and select "Profile". Select the "Email Notifications" tab, check the threads for which you would no longer like to receive subscription updates and click "Remove Selected Notifications."
How do I prevent myself from being automatically subscribed to threads I post messages in?
Go to the Your Stuff link in the User Bar, click on Preferences, and uncheck the to radio buttons for subscribing to threads you create and threads you reply to.
How do I embed an image or a video in a forum message?
When posting a message in the Forums there are two buttons in the Rich Text Editor to include a video or an image file in the message.
For video, click on the clapboard button/icon then select the video site and enter the Video URL or embed code and click Insert.
For an image, click on the camera button/icon then select the appropriate tab (From Your Computer, Uploaded Images, or From the web) and follow the onscreen instructions.
What if I want to link to an image on an external site, such as Pixentral or Flickr, instead of uploading the image to the Forum server?
Flickr's Terms of Service state that if you post an image hosted on Flickr on another site you have to link back to the image page on Flickr. To do that you need to go to your image on Flickr, click on the All Sizes link above the image, select the size image you want, then Copy the HTML code from the first box of code underneath the image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This will open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Flickr site. Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to post the message to the forum system.
For Pixentral images, you will need to go to http://www.pixentral.com and upload your image following the instructions there. You do NOT have to check the box to make images public. Once your image is uploaded there copy the HTML code from the box below your image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This wil open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Pixentral site. Please note that there is an extra "/" character in the Pixentral URL that will prevent the image from showing up, so you need to make one change to the HTML that you copied from the Pixentral site. The beginning of the HTML code will look something like this:
<a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd"/>
Please remove the forward slash that appears between the quotes and the greater than symbol so that this part of the HTML code looks like this:
<a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd">
Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to post the message to the forum system.
Can I attach a file to a forum message?
Yes. Each message in the Forums can have up to three files attached. Each file cannot exceed 5MB. These numbers are subject to change.
To attach a file, create a new forum message as usual and then click on the “Browse” button below the Rich Text Editor box to select a file from your computer.
Are forum messages presented in Threaded or Flat order?
The Forum messages can be presented in either Threaded or Flat order. This can be set in your forum Preferences. Click on the “Your Stuff” link and select “Preferences”. The first setting on that page is for how you want to see the messages.
In Flat mode, each message posted in the Forum will appear directly below and in line with the message posted before it. You will be able to view the discussion as if it were a live discussion with each person taking a turn in successive order.
In Threaded mode, each message will be posted below the message it is direct reply to and will be indented. This makes it easier to follow sidebar or sub-discussions, but can make it more difficult to follow a long conversation.
When you are reading messages in a forum, you can select to reply to the original message or to any of the replies to that original message.
How do I edit a message that I have posted in the Forum?
After you have posted a message you will find an “Edit” link at the bottom of the message. Click on the link to open the message editor and make your changes. The edit feature is good for fixing a typo or a link. But if you have extensive changes to make to your message we suggest that you post a new reply to your message instead of editing the original message. Editing is not available if someone has replied to your message. At that point, you have to add a new reply to the thread with the updated information.
How do I delete a message that I have posted in the Forum?
You can delete a message you have posted if there have been no replies. Once someone has replied the Delete option goes away.
How do I send a forum message to a friend?
While reading a message in the Forums, you can send a link to the discussion to someone outside the forum system by clicking on the "Send as email" link in the Actions panel. You can select user names from the system or email addresses of people outside the system and they will be sent a link to the forum. The actual message is not included in the email. The recipient will need to click on the link in the message to view the contents.
How do I report an abusive post in the Forums?
When viewing messages in the Forum you will find a "Report Abuse" link in the Actions panel on the right side for the original message and you will also find an individual “Report Abuse” link listed for each reply to the original message. Click on the link to send a report.
How do I upload an Avatar for my Forum account?

Click on the “Your Stuff” and select “Private Messages” from the drop down menu.
From there, you will be able to read incoming messages, create new messages, and manage old messages.
You can also manage an Address Book and sort messages into folders.
Can I attach a file to a Private Message?
No. But you can include a link to an image or a video.
How many Private Messages can I have?
40 (subject to change)
Can I subscribe to a feed from the Forums?
Yes, you can get an RSS feed from various parts of the forums: Announcements, Discussions, and you can even subscribe to an individual user by going to their profile (click on their name or avatar any place in the forums) and getting the feed link from there. You can also get a feed of your private message inbox.
Some messages have odd linebreaks and random characters in them, such as lines that start with B or I that don't seem to make sense.
The Adobe Online Forums is a new system that has data imported from two previous systems. One of the previous systems had its own message formatting codes, such as B for Bold and I for Italic. These codes import into the new system as plain text and lead to the formatting issue that you might run across on old messages.
I marked a reply to my question as the correct answer, but then discovered that it was not correct. Can I remove the Marked as Answered setting?
No, you can only set this for one reply and it cannot be removed. Please post a follow up message in the discussion thread with updated information, such as a clarification or rebuttal to the marked answer.
I am not clear on the points system in the Forums. Will I get points for simply posting questions or replying to questions?
No. Points are not given for simply posting a question or a reply. Points are awarded by the person who started a discussion. They can mark a reply to their question as either The Answer or as Helpful. They can mark one “Correct” answer and two “Helpful” answers per discussion thread.
I've clicked to edit my profile and now I'm lost. I can't get back to the discussion I was viewing.
Use the History link in the user bar.
Is there an alternative to the Rich Text Editor?
Yes, if you are comfortable with some basic HTML, you can click on the “HTML” link in the upper right corner of the Full Editor to switch to an HTML editor. If you use the HTML editor you need to remember to put in <p> and <br> tags between paragraphs, otherwise the HTML editor will remove extraneous white space (including carriage returns) in your message.
How can I Jump the last message in a thread?
Click on the XX minutes ago link in the list of threads to go to the latest message instead of to the first message.
How do I change my name or screen name?
At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Edit the desired information on this page and click “Update”.
How do I change my email address?
At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Your Adobe ID/email is listed here, and you need to click on the “Change” button. Enter your email address, your password, and click “Update”. Note that your email address is also your Adobe ID which you use to login, so if you change your email address, you will also need to login using the new email address.
How do I change my password?
At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Your password is displayed as a series of asterisks (*****). Click the “Change” button. You will need to enter your current password, your new password, and a password hint. Click on the “Update” button to save your changes.

@ adobe-admin (J.C.?):
Thanks for fixing the "backslash" error. Accuracy is important, and doubly so when presented as an F.A.Q.
The sad thing is how prevalent the usage of "backslash" is when a plain old slash is meant (generally, the "forward" attribute is assumed and unneeded), and by people who should know better. It's a direct result of people knowing just barely enough about the Windows file path naming protocols, and then applying the only terminology they're familiar with incorrectly to URLs.
I went about 10 rounds—TWICE!—with a labyrinthian succession of people at the Discovery & History cable TV networks because they were saying "backslash" in voice overs whenever their commercials promoted their websites. It took some doing, but I finally got in touch with somebody who was savvy enough to recognize that it was a rookie mistake made by a clueless marketing copywriter. The voice over person just read the copy they were given, oblivious to the difference. It amazes me that it wasn't caught by somebody early in the recording/production process and rectified.
They then had it correct for about a year, until new commercials started popping up with the same error. Unfortunately, the person I had talked to previously no longer worked for the History channel and I had to go through the process of finding someone who understood all over again.
Yeah, you can call me a nitpicker with nothing better to do.
But I've earned that dang badge, and I wear it proudly!

X Series is here – New Counter Features!

Hey All,
The new X Series Multifunction DAQ devices have been announced – check them out here.
I’m posting here because I think X Series has several new counter features that many on this forum have been looking for. The user manual
will have all of these details and more with timing diagrams but I
thought I’d summarize a few of the sexier features and open it up for
comments/feedback.
First off – what stayed the same between
M Series/TIO counters and X series counters? The pinouts between M and
X series are the same so the PFI lines and default counter pinouts are
the same. The DAQmx programming is the same (you’ll need DAQmx 9.0, it
should be up this afternoon) and all the functionality that was
supported by M Series is supported by X Series, though a few behaviors
may have changed. Counters are still 32 bit.
Now on to
the fun stuff – the big one that I tend to overlook: X Series has 4
counters per board! They all have the same features and Freq Out is
still there too (with an additional 20MHz timebase).
Timebases:
X Series devices have 100MHz, 20MHz and 100kHz timebases. Note the
difference between 80MHz on M series and 100MHz on X series. DAQmx will
take care of the difference for you, unless you were programming in
terms of ticks and hardcoded in numbers based off of a 80MHz clock.
Counter
FIFOs: X Series has a 127 sample FIFO per counter. When combined with
PCIe/PXIe, our benchmarked buffered counter rates went from ~350k on M series
(with a 2 sample FIFO) with a single counter to 10MHz on all four
counters (160MB/s streaming rate). The FIFO also allows us to implement…
Buffered Counter Output: Probably my favorite new feature. You can
now use a multi point write on counters and write out a buffer of pulse
values. There are two timing modes for this: implicit and sample
clocked. With implicit timing, every idle/active pair you write is
generated as a pulse. You can vary the idle/active time for every pulse
in your pulse train. Check out the "Gen Dig Pulse
Train-Buff-Implicit-Cont.vi" shipping example. With sample clock
timing, the idle/active time are updated every time a sample clock is
received. Check out the "Gen Dig Pulse Train-Buff-Ext Clk-Cont.vi"
shipping example. These modes give you much more control over your
waveform – now everything about it can be hardware timed. Also, I’ve
benchmarked the output rates at 10MHz on all four counters at the same
time.
Finite pulse train with one counter: Each X Series
counter has an Embedded counter paired with it. The embedded counter
isn’t directly programmable, but it does allow you to do counter
operations on one counter that used to take two. A finite pulse train
used to take two counters – one to generate the pulse train and one to
gate it. Now a counter generates the pulse train, and its embedded
counter counts the TCs and disables the counter when it reaches the
number of pulses to generate.
More sample clocked
measurement modes: Edge counting and encoder measurements always
supported sample clocks, all other counter measurements were implicitly
(timed by the measurement waveform) timed. With the addition of the
sample clock terminal to the counters now all counter measurements
(except for semi-period) support sample clock timing. You can now get
the pulse width of the pulse just before the sample clock rather than
getting all the pulse widths and figuring out where they happened in
time. Why not semi period? We added a new “pulse” measurement instead
that returns a sample that contains the high and low time (or high and
low ticks, or frequency and duty cycle) so for each sample clock edge
you get a full pulse spec. Semi period still supports the same
measurements it used to, just not sample clocked. Speaking of sample
clocked…
Sample clocked frequency/period measurement
with averaging: X Series still supports the three frequency modes: Low
frequency 1 counter, 2 counter High Frequency and 2 counter Large
Range. In addition it supports sample clocked averaging. This is
essentially a method that is high accuracy method based on the sample
clock rate. With the same measurement time it has the same accuracy as
the Large range mode but it doesn’t take two counters. Note, counters
do not have their own internal sample clock so you have to provide them
with an external signal.
Hope this helps,

Measurement Fundamentals

Hi guys,
I drew up a schematic of one of the applications I need to get running in our lab. To recap:
1)      We have several piezo controllers for nanopositioning of samples under a microscope, some of them driven by a digital circuit that handles coordinate programming and trigger line programming (for syncing detectors to the piezo motion), other controllers are analog and need to be driven by voltages.
2)      We would like to emulate the behavior of the digital controller using the analog HW (we have much more analog controllers than digital ones).
3)      The basic implementation is like this (see also slide one in the attached pdf file) and runs perfectly:
a.       A global pulsetrain ticks with a certain frequency
b.      At each tick a voltage is written on an AO line and this tick is also sent to an RTSI line to sync multiple detectors
4)      To fully emulate the digital controller we also need to implement 4 trigger lines that exist on the digital controller. These trigger lines allow for fully programmable pulsetrain output that is in sync with the movement of the piezo. Slide two in the attached pdf illustrates what is needed. These trigger lines allow for much more intricate syncing of our detectors (only measure during certain parts of the motion instead of all the time).
After a lot of thinking and experimenting with the existing M series boards back here I came to the conclusion that the desired behavior is not possible with an M series board since they only allow for the output of “simple” pulsetrains with a given frequency.
Looking at this webpage (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/9384#toc3) however, I think that the X series board would offer exactly what we need since it allows for buffered counter output that enables definition of very complex pulstrain “shapes”.
Looking at the schemes I provided, could someone confirm that the X-series covers our needs? If this is the case, we would be interested in purchasing these kinds of boards.
Cheers,
Kris Janssen

Mark for Review Forum Feature hides posts after 5th time

Hi SDN and BPX Forum Aficionados,
The abuse button has another little known feature that has the potential to really improve the quality of forum content.
You mark a post for review by hitting the ! icon, select a category and please add a couple of words why and it gets marked for moderation.
If there are 4 other people that think a post doesn't belong to this forum, the thread automatically goes into hiding until a moderator has time to look at it and can take action accordingly.
It puts the community back into the driver seat. If enough people think a post doesn't belong it is gone. You have to be logged in to do this. See the [documentation|http://www.jivesoftware.com/jive/entry!default.jspa?categoryID=33&externalID=1321&fromSearchPage=true]
The threshold is set to 5 at the moment throughout all forums. Probably it will have to be fine tuned over time depending on how active a forum is.
This is going to be really interesting in 2008.
Happy New Year to all of you, Mark.

Hi Althea,
Happy New Year to everyone.
At the moment the poster doesn't get a message automatically. Once a moderator has looked at it and rejected the post, there is a possibility of an email being sent. We are looking into that.
It is true, we have to explain a bit more about the functionality of the Report Abuse feature.
Will do so soon, Mark.

The subject text is so tiny, I can barely see it, plus it's virtually impossible to see the difference between read and unread. The subject listings have a huge amount of wasted space between them. You could double the number of on-screen lists (or shorten the scrolling) if you cut it down. There used to be a link on the right that would take me back to the Bookmarks page (what I use as a home page for these forums.)

There is no clear demarcation between posts. Posts are no longer numbered. About the only things that are good are that the toolbar features when replying now work with SeaMonkey and Firefox and other browsers AND the default font size seen when composing a reply is big enough to easily see instead of being teeny tiny as it was before. Yippee!!! No more nose prints on the screen when trying to see what I was composing.
Comcast employees must be authorized to post in the forum in an official capacity. Employees posting here have their names in red and are designated as employees. Names not in red are customers. This is done to protect customers and for assurance that they are dealing with a Comcast employee.
Non-Authorized Employees are allowed to post but cannot state they are employees nor can they allude to being employees.

How to add 'forum' feature in my personnel website ?

I am new to web-development and Dreamweaver. I have one static personnel website which was developed by using Dreamweaver. I used to give online training to college students. Interacting with students all the time is not possible. I would like to add 'forum' feature in my personnel website, so that student can post their Queries and I can get opportunity to answer in my free time. And access to my forum is allowed to registered users only.Please share the tutorial for implementing this idea to my website using Dreamweaver .
Your suggestions are valuable.

Start with your web hosting provider. Some hosts have Forum plug-ins you can activate in your server's Admin or C-Panel. If no such feature comes with your hosting, you'll need to find out which server-side programming languages and databases your server supports. Also make notes about the versions of each as this will effect which Forum solutions you can use.
Then figure out what features are most important to you:
Price range,
How many forum members can it support at once?
Automated or manual Sign-up process?
Can it be customized?
Emoticons,
Avatars,
WYSIWYG editing,
How complex is the set-up & maintenance?
How about tech support?
Etc...

Acrobat Pro XI frequent crashes when using New Window feature

As a lawyer using Acrobat Pro XI to review legal documents, I find the New Window feature invaluable since it lets me view different parts of the same document at the same time. However, when I use this feature I encounter frequent crashes, more often if I insert a comment in one of the windows. Inserting those comments are very important to me. Is there any way to avoid the crashes while using the New Window and Comment features together?

New IOS features

Hi guys and girls,
I was wondering if there was a Cisco mailing list or some type of advertising shoot that Cisco used to advertise new features in IOS software? I have been reading through text books on the new exams in the past to keep up to date but thought that there must be a better way out there that I have simply missed.
Any help will be appreciated. Oh and you can also be the first person to respond to my posts on the forum :S. To be fair I fixed the other issues by myself but it’s always nice to hear from others.
Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike,
To be completely honest, I would welcome such mailing list or a concise information channel for new and changed IOS features as well. Unfortunately, so far, there are no such focused information sources to my best knowledge.
What you can always visit:
1) Each major IOS generation is documented along with the Release Notes which document the changes, newly added or removed features, solved and open caveats, etc. Following is the list of Release Notes for major IOS versions for routers:
12.4: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/prod_release_notes_list.html
12.4T: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6441/prod_release_notes_list.html
15.0M: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10591/prod_release_notes_list.html
15.1M: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10592/prod_release_notes_list.html
2) Also, major new features are described in standalone documents called the Feature Guides:
12.4: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/products_feature_guides_list.html
12.4T: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6441/products_feature_guides_list.html
15.0M: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10591/products_feature_guides_list.html
15.1M: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10592/products_feature_guides_list.html
3) For Catalyst switches, the Release Notes are are published more often, however, the IOSes for Catalyst switches are customized for each Catalyst platform and you should always go to the appropriate Catalyst switch product pages to visit the corresponding IOS documentation.
4) As the Catalyst switches have very nice Configuration Guides, they can also be used as sources of information about supported features, including learning about new features - although it may be difficult to know which exact feature has been added in a new version.
Anyone here willing to share his/her own ways of keeping in pace with new IOS features?
Best regards,
Peter

Thanks for the new Forum!

I would like to personally thank and (welcome all others to thank) the administrators, moderators or anybody involved with the evolution of our new forum. This new feature rich format is by far the best I have seen and I am a member of quit a few other forums. MSI should consider themselves very fortunate to have such a great team working on their forum. I know as users we are very appreciative, Thanks again!
P.S. Yes it seems like you have fixed the slowdown problems as the pages seem to be loading at normal speeds again.

I too have benefited from good advice on my MSI K8n Neo2 mb questions. The members here are knowledgable and polite. Questions asked nicely are answered by good suggestions. Thanks to MSI for sponsoring such a useful owner's forum.

Thanks Adobe! I LOVE this new forum software!

As someone who belongs to many, many forums over the years, I've gone through a lot of forum software changes. Generally, the vocal majority raise heck about it, but eventually things settle down and people go about their regular forum use with little effort.
These new forums are so much "easier on the eyes" than the mind-numbing sea of text we currently have. Some like the new colors, some hate it. Some like avatars & signatures, and some don't. But the reason you come here is for the information, and this new software WILL make it easier to find what you're looking for.
Macworld.com switched to this very same software last year. They had an obscenely large user base, all of which voiced their opinions repeatedly, to the point where many simply stopped visiting until the switchover was complete. In general, those that don't like change tend to voice their opinions the loudest. The vast majority though, tend to keep quiet and roll with changes. Today, Macworld's forums are running just fine, offer a plethora of new features, and are more active than they ever were previously.
I have no heavy interest in what Adobe does with these forums because I rarely visit the current ones - mostly because I find them absolutely unreadable. But I'm also betting I'll be using them a whole lot more once this switchover is complete. In fact, I KNOW I will.
Rather than complaining about change in general, colors, icons, avatars, signatures, bloated code, or whatever silly reason some are coming up with, time would be better spent simply helping to find bugs with what is there. Once the bugs are worked out, Adobe will most likely start looking at "fine-tuning" the look & feel.

> What I have noticed is that there is a totally different set of aesthetic values being exhibited here between the Users of the Adobe Professional Graphic Arts applications (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) and the people who are almost entirely geared to AV or to web site work and the use of the formerly Macromedia products (such as Dreamweaver).
Ann, you may be correct. But if functionality is truly the most important feature of Adobe Forums, the WebX format falls dramatically short for my own applications:
WebX screws any code or script posted, generally making it unusable. For this reason, the Script and Expression areas of the After Effects forum are virtually non-existent. Users go to other places to discuss these features, because it's not practical to do so on the current forums.
A picture tells a thousand words. When new users come to the WebX forums and want to post a screen grab of their problem project, it's embarrassing to tell them they need to use an external image host to do so.
Video tells ten thousand words. The ability to easily embed YouTube and other online video content into a post is not just a great convenience, it's a way to teach, inform and demonstrate within the forum, rather than sending users somewhere else mid-discussion.
I share a number of your criticisms about the Jive Forums, but for me and the community which uses my frequented forums, the Jive system also offers features which are essential for productive use. As I suspect the new system, like the old, will evolve over time, I'm happy to embrace the positives of the change, and hope that any major problems can be resolved in time.

New beta features (July) - feedback please

Since we launched the site redesign back in June, we've heard a lot of feedback from active Kuler members. And, we took your feedback to heart. Today, we're happy to be able to share several changes we've been working. Some of these changes are no-brainers and we're making them available to everyone. Others need a bit more refinement--so, we're looking for input from you. In this post, I'll explain what's changed and how you view/use the new features. Please reply to this post to share your feedback.
Features enabled for this group: (click this link to view the features: https://kuler.adobe.com/features/enable/newFeatures)
We have created a special link to give you access to new features (new feature link)--without this link you won't be able to see the new features. This link will allow you to use the site, same as before, but will also enable the new features that we're looking for feedback on. So, here's an overview of what's new:
(1) Create themes from an image: You can create themes from an image stored on your device. Here's how: from the the Create page (color wheel), you should see a camera icon above and to the right of the color wheel. Click the icon and you will be asked to select an image from the file picker. Select your image and start picking colors.
(2) Resizing the color wheel: You can resize the color wheel to make it small or keep it large. And, the site will remember your preference. Here's how: hover over the color wheel on the create page and your cursor will change to a magnifying glass with either a "+" or a "-" symbol. If you click the wheel you can make it smaller or larger. Large is good for selecting the right hue and small for viewing color interactions on your theme.
(3) Smaller borders (and the ability to remove the white "active" border): We've reduced the size of the borders so they don't get in the way. We've also made it possible to remove the "active" color selection when editing on the color wheel. Here's how: while viewing the color wheel, click on the dark grey portion of the page above, below or to each side of the color wheel. You can now see your theme without any "active" border.
(4) Easier to find color space data (e.g. RGB, CMYK, etc.): several people had some trouble finding all the color spaces (e.g. RGB, CMYK, LAB, HSB). So, we added a hover effect that will automatically expand the color space data when you mouse over it. If you prefer to work in a specific space and don't want it to keep expanding, you can stop the expanding feature by clicking on the white triangle. That will contract the menu and will make the last space you edited the default.
Features available to everyone: (no special link required to view)
(5) Save changes dialogue: many of you mentioned the new site would not give you a choice to save a new theme or overwrite an existing theme after editing. That's now fixed.
(6) Tab order: a few people mentioned tabbing through color spaces was tedious. You asked us to allow you to tab through each color in a single space (e.g. RGB) before moving on to a different color space (e.g. CMYK). We've made this change.
(7) Instant saving: Saving a theme was taking a couple seconds--which was too long. We've updated the save feature to be much quicker.
That's it for now. We're working on a bunch of other features and we plan to share those on the forum in the coming weeks. We look forward to reading your feedback!

Just had a quick look, so my (first) comments are just about the new/fixed features. I only took a look at my laptop with small screen, so I would have to check on a bigscreen computer, tablet and iphone to give complete advice. And checkout more of course.
So, for now on small screen laptop:
(1) Create themes from an image:
(a) Choosing picture: You can only pick a picture on your disk. Why not from the web? That's a missing.
(b) Working: After picking it seems to work allright, but I haven't used it until now.
(c) Activate camera icon: It takes a while (3 sec) before responding. That's too long, looks like it isn't responding.
(2) Resizing the color wheel:
(a) covering colors: Hurray! Very nice to get rid of the wheel in front of my colors.
(b) magnifying glass: recognizable and it works. Good option.
(c) changing magnifying glass in a colorpicking +symbol: To my surprise that works good. When hovering over the colorpickers it and I used it without thinking.
(d) remembering settings: Nice! But will it remember my settings on a different computer? I have to try.
(3) Smaller borders (and the ability to remove the white "active" border):
(a) Smaller borders: Nice, just small enough to notice and not disturb too much
(b) remove the white "active" border): Smooth!
(4) Easier to find color space data (e.g. RGB, CMYK, etc.):
(a) Expanding: Not very fond of the constant expanding. I would prefer to choose a preference when working on a theme.
(b) change default color space: That's a good option, but still it expands to all spaces when hovering over it.
(5) Save changes dialogue:
(a) dialogue: works fine
(b) naming the theme: the name is still default, you have to give a name afterwards, by editing. Why not ask for a name when you save the first time or save a copy?
(6) Tab order: works fine, tab and shift-tab
(7) Instant saving: Saves quickly

AWESOME new forum feature!
