Bring back nntp access

What are the reasons that nntp access was discontinued?
As a direct result a lot of long-time, knowledgable users seem to have abandoned the forums especially on the Macromedia side - nntp was just so much quicker let alone the possibilities to filter and quickly save topics as plain text. This is more than a bit disappointing.
Please, consider bringing back nttp access.

I do not find the public domain argument to be very satisfying. I think if some bean counter thinks the purpose of these forums is to build some body of content that can be packaged and controlled, then that person is very narrow minded.
The purpose of these forums has always been for US - the user community to share and support each other. This saves Adobe money by providing a place where people can get answers to basic to moderately complex problems without having to use expensive human resources paid for by Adobe. It also builds the good will of Adobe products in that there is a place where somebody can go and get problems solved, often quickly and easily, before they become a festering sore in a developers mind that motivates them to look for a different software solution for their tasks.
NNTP allowed a lot of very knowledgable people to be very helpful when they had a few spare moment in thier day. They could quickly scan their news reader inbox for new topics that they can help. Then they could quickly fire off a reply within the reader and move on to the next message. All this without having to wait for a browser to render a lot of JavaScript and DHTML over and over again for each and every message and reply.
The email system could be a lesser substitue for this functionality if it worked correctly. But, to date, my experience with it has been less then encouraging. The mesages are comming in all jumbled up, the subects have these long, unimportant strings "[ColdFusion and Flash Integrations] New message:" prepended to them so that I can not easily tell what they are. The emails do not properly follow the email RFC standard so that my email reader can properly thread the messages, thus I can not easily follow in topics in any given forum. I just get a random quote that is meainingless without context and the only way to get that context seems to be to fire up a browser. Replying to them is problematic where I have seen my and other users messages completely dissapear when processed by this system, resulting in a blank box for a reply.
I was a long time NNTP user that enjoyed helping my fellow ColdFusion developers on these forums whenever I had a few free moments in my day. But I do not forsee myself sticking it out for very long in this new forum if there is not some improvment, or at least some communication or acknowlegement of some hope for improvement, from the powers that be. All we seem to get is that there is no NNTP, there are no plans for NNTP, the email does not work as expected, but there is no acknowlegement of what, if anything, is going to be done about that either.
I know that I am not alone in this manner. I know that those that are most vocal about this issue where some of the most knowlegable and frequently helpful people of the previous forums and I just can not imagine how the quality of this resource is going to be improved by their loss, no matter how subjectivily pretty the new web interface is juged to be.
I give myself another day or two to see if I can somehow make this work, then I will move on and check back in a few months to a year to see if anything has improved.

Bring back HELP...just help!

I don't know whose idea it was to quit including paper manuals with the software, but I hate it. I also hate the new HELP feature with CS4. I don't want to spend hours looking for an answer. Please bring back the old help model! (And if you think hate is too harsh a word, let me assure you, hate is extremely appropriate when I think about all of the time I've wasted trying to get the answer to one simple little isse.)

The original help files are still on your hard disk you just need to tell your browser where to look for them.
For example, the following path will give you the help files for the British English language version of Illustrator CS4:
your boot drive/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Help/en_GB/Illustrator/14.0/index.html
I have a Bookmarks Toolbar Folder called (surprisingly!) 'Adobe Help files' which gives me access to all my CS4 apps local help files instantly

How do I bring back just one file?

I have been using Time Machine for years. Now, I want to find just one or two photos. I think the photos are in one of the past iPhoto librarys but when I try to access the library I get a message that I cannot because it's not the current iPhoto library or something like that? Should I just restore that entire time machine set and go from there. I am only trying to bring back one or two photos.
How do I do this?

See the pink box in #15 of [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Configuring AAA New-Model brings back old config.

We are assuming responsibility for a set of network gear from a vendor that developed an app for us. They had all the gear authenticate against their radius server. My task today is to remove that config, and point to our ACS servers using tacacs. I thought this would be an easy copy and paste, but when I put in our standard aaa new-model config, it appears like their config involving radius parameters, comes back into play. I have ended up being unable to access these devices, getting 'Authorization Failed' after putting in my user credentials and password. Any suggestions on this would be a big help!

This has occurred on various platforms, but one example is the 2821 router with c2800nm-ipbasek9-mz.124-22.T1.bin.
Here is an example of what is happening:
Beginning Config:
testsw#sh run | inc radius
aaa authentication login default group radius enable
aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
aaa authorization exec default group radius none
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting network default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting network system start-stop group radius
aaa accounting connection default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting system default start-stop group radius
ip radius source-interface Vlan99
radius-server host 10.57.132.21 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
radius-server timeout 1
radius-server key 7 0716376F6B0A0A200F2A2F5420240E171A39170A3E03355352
When I issue 'no aaa new-model', the radius server configs disappear:
testsw(config)#no aaa new-model
testsw(config)#
testsw(config)#do sh run | inc radius
ip radius source-interface Vlan99
testsw(config)#
When I re-apply just the 'aaa new-model' command:
testsw(config)#do sh run | begin aaa new-model
aaa new-model
aaa authentication login default group radius enable
aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
aaa authorization exec default group radius none
aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure
aaa accounting session-duration ntp-adjusted
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting network default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting network system start-stop group radius
aaa accounting connection default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting system default start-stop group radius
aaa session-id common
testsw(config)#do sh run | inc radius
ip radius source-interface Vlan99
radius-server host 10.57.132.21 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
radius-server timeout 1
radius-server key 7 0716376F6B0A0A200F2A2F5420240E171A39170A3E03355352
So, just putting back the aaa new-model command, by itself, brings back all the former aaa new-model commands, and the radius server commands. We run tacacs to a pair of ACS servers for all our other stuff, so maybe this behaviour is unique to radius...not really sure. Anyway, the process of changing has hosed up three devices requiring a reload, and one that I dorked up bad enough to have to rebuild the device config!

Bring back Help Center Business User Documentation for CRM 7.0 SP1

Hi CRM Experts
everyone who's wondering that the help link (?) is not available in CRM 7.0 > SP1 should know what [Note 1410534|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1410534] says:
"The links to the Help Center Business User Documentation has been removed with CRM 7.0 SP2 due to technical considersations"
I think that is not acceptable. In contrast to the CRM WebUI the SAP GUI provides in most cases also a documentation on the Field level which can always accessed by pressing F1. Also there is a context sensitive help via Help -> Application Help. Should we miss that now completely in CRM WebUI? I've opened a new Idea: [Bring back Help Center Business User Documentation for CRM 7.0 > SP1|https://ideas.sap.com/ideas/1542]. Please vote for it.
Best regards

Perfect Gregor.
I have several clients too concerned about it. I'll have to vote.

Is there a way to bring back the "Open a New Tab" option via right-clicking on the Tab?

I just upgraded to latest version of Firefox (6.0). Yesterday it informed me that an upgrade to Firefox 5.(something) was available and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I went for it. However, I hadn't used it since then till today. Now when I opened it today it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to version 6.0. Without hesitation, I went for it too.
While this version looks nice, it feels a bit odd to use it. Previously whenever I wanted to open a new Tab, I right-clicked on any of the Tabs (active tab or any other Tab) and after right-clicking, it had the option to '''''Open a New Tab''''' along with few other options. Now there's no such option. There's the + button to open a new tab, but what if I want to open a link in a new tab by right-clicking on it? Similarly the option to Open in New Window is also missing.
Is there a way to bring back those previous Tab options/settings? If yes, how?
P.S. In my bookmark toolbar, when I click on a bookmark icon, it has the same options/settings as it previously had in the last version I used (last version I used was 3.something; while I'd upgraded to version 5.something I hadn't used it except for opening the browser when it asked me to upgrade to version 6.0). Options on right clicking the bookmark icon are:
Open
Open in a New Tab
Open in a New Window
New Bookmark...
New Folder...
New Separator
Cut
Copy
Paste
Delete
Properties
I'd also like to mention here that I know of the shortcut keys; so please don't waste your time by trying to help me that way. Thanks.

No. The Tab bar is a regular toolbar in current Firefox versions, so you get the normal right-click context menu of a toolbar if you right-click the tab bar.
You can double click on empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab if you do not want to use the new tab button.<br />
You can drag a link on that new tab button to open that link in a new tab.<br />
You can also drag the new tab button on another toolbar if you would like that better.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"<br />

Hi richmc. I will only deal with the last part of your message.
You say that you want to use Outlook 2007 to collect your mail. That is not a problem, it is just an email client. BT do not supply this email client. Microsoft do.
You cannot expect BT to be able to assist customers with all the different email clients available to use. You can get the server details etc to set it up yourself.
Most ISP's are the same on support issues for things that they do not supply.
BT do have a paid support service if you did want to use it but for things like email setup it should not be needed.
You also say that you have your own domain names. These NEED to be hosted somewhere to be able to use them for email.
I don't believe that BT do hosting anymore(Could be wrong). So you would need to get in touch with a hosting company, someone like Nethosting, 1&1, GoDaddy etc to set up an email hosting account and then set up your email client to your hosting companies email servers.

Syncing a moved folder is not bringing back all the photos to Lightroom

I have moved and renamed a folder in the external harddrive. Syncing that moved folder in lightroom is not working in bringing back all the photos to Lightroom - Although all the photos exist in that folder as I have confirmed through windows explorer.
Another Option: If I choose "import photos to this folder option" in LR and browse to the source to that folder - the missing photos are shown as shaded back and the import button (bottom right corner) is not highlighted. Therefore I cannot select these missing photos and hence cannot import them to the folder.
PLEASE ADVISE!

In the Folders Panel, the original folder should be listed with a "?" mark, because Lightroom can no longer find it. Right-click on it, select "Find Missing Folder", then browse to and select the renamed folder in its new location.
Note....these type of problems will continue to happen if you continue to rename and/or move folders or files outside of Lightroom. Do it using Lightroom and no such problems will arise.

Exactly how are you trying to restore form TM?
Have you tried rebuilding your iPhoto library?
And your comments indicate that you may not understand iPhoto at all - you should not be inside the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it - and iPhoto does not duplicate photos - more details of yoru work flow would help sort this out

Bring Back the Apple MB869LL/A (A1242) Wired Compact USB Keyboard

I know Wireless and Bluetooth are great technologies! I know Apple makes it relatively easy to change batteries in their devices (magic mice and keyboards)!
However, I am running a few elementary school computer labs where we have many iMac computers and limited space.
One of my major obstacles from keeping these computers reliably operational is keeping keyboards alive with fresh batteries (We have wired mice). Also, since table space is limited, the standard FULL SIZE keyboards (with the numerical 10-key) takes space away from the mouse. A 10-key at this elementary school age level is really unnecessary.
It would be ideal if Apple could bring back their older version of the Aluminum Keyboard that was compact AND USB wired! The old model number was MB869LL/A (A1242).
These options are all that is currently available and neither is ideal:
FULL SIZED Wired Keyboard (that is too wide and the 10-key is unncessary): Wired Aluminum Keyboard MB110LL/B USB with Numeric Keypad
COMPACT Wireless Keyboard (that changing the batteries is too time consuming when you have 100's of computers in a lab to deal with):
Wireless Aluminum Keyboard A1314 Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard, MC184LL/B
Looking for a compact, non-10-key, WIRED, USB, Apple compatible keyboard (that has brightness and volume controls built-in).
Anyone else support this efffort, please chime in (or offer alternate solutions or compatible hardware).
Thanks,
Elementary School Challenged!

"Looking for a compact, non-10-key, WIRED, USB, Apple compatible keyboard (that has brightness and volume controls built-in)."
Depending on your budget, you can find just about anything you want if you check the internet for computer peripherals. The biggest problem with the keyboard that you want would be its high price tag and finding a large (new-in-box) supply of them. I'm never surprised at the availability of keyboards that were never used with the computers that they shipped with. After Apple discontinued the ADB extended keyboards, I was still able to find new ones for my older fleet of beige G3s. As a less expensive alternative - but one that excludes your preference for brightness and volume controls - you may wish to consider a reasonably-priced, USB-wired keyboard for PCs, like the compact one shown at this eBay auction. A PC keyboard will work with a Mac, except for any programmable function/media keys that are part of the Windows software installed with the keyboard. One distinction between an Apple and a PC keyboard is the placement/juxtaposition of the two keys on either side of the space bar: The Windows logo key and the Alt key. When used with a Mac, the Windows key becomes the Apple Command key and the Alt key is the Option/Alt key. For your use, perhaps you could place a permanent sticker with the Apple "Command" symbol on the Windows key. In an elementary school lab, the stickers might be peeled off as soon as you've replaced them - which would be a nuisance.

Bring back iTunes syncing feature back!

I don't mean to be the stickler, but I cannot believe Apple decided to force us to use iCloud for syncing contacts. If i had known that upgrading to Maverick would have caused such, I would never have done so. I have a lot of personal and sensitive information on my iPhone. I don't want such information to be stored at any cloud platform. In fact, I prefer iPhone over Android phones for this feature (allowing users to decide whther they will use syncing via iTunes versus via iCloud). Now that feature is gone, I am in need of retracting back to the previou version of iTunes or Mountain Lion OS. Otherwise, I will need to start looking into if Android platform allows such. I want choices especially when sensitivie information is involved. How often do we hear about someone hacking into some corporate data hub? I don't want to risk.
Please bring back the feature to sync via iTunes!

Mike,
First of all, I am grateful for the message you posted. At least you cared enough to provide your input.
Secondly, I am not so concerned about losing data. Because, such data reside in my macbook pro, my ipad, my iphone, and my backup of the macbook pro hard drive. So, I am okay in that front.
As far as someone taking my devices, they are password protected with non-simple (not just 4 digits standard setting) password along with features such as "Erase Data" turned on for so many failed attempts.
Given, such I have to stand by my first request to Apple if they would reconsider giving back the feature. For my peace of mind...
Thanks again for your input.

Is there a way to bring back the actual tab "bar"?

So in switching from FF3.6 to 5.0 I have noticed that the actual "bar" that holds the tabs is gone.
Observe:
[http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg]
It's visually slightly annoying to not have a distinct separator between the tab area and the button toolbar, but that is something I can live with.
However I can NOT live with the extremely annoying functionality drawback that comes as a result of this. In 3.X and before you could right click anywhere in the tab bar and it would bring up the tab management menu. Now you can't bring up the menu from empty space because it treats that space as part of the rest of the UI and gives you a different menu, forcing you to mouse all the way over to a tab to accomplish the same end.
So my question is, does anyone know of a way, or an addon, that can bring back the actual tab bar? I find all of these UI changes to be nothing short of infuriating. I swear, Mozilla, Facebook, Pandora, Google, and Microsoft must all be in cahoots with each other because they're all introducing horrible UI designs at the same time.

Well I guess that's kind of cool that you can add buttons in the bar as well, but I honestly don't have a use for that and I think it would get in the way more often than not in most scenarios I can think of (there's a reason buttons were segregated from the tab bar and it wasn't tech limitations). The previous functionality is much more convienent and useful and, well, functional.
As for why FF5, well I've had the FF5 installation since before 6.0 was out, but the UI changes angered me so much that I abandoned it after about 20 minutes and went back to using my 3.6 installation; I've been letting the community stew and cook up solutions to the UI problems (status4evar for example) and like any good stew, giving it more time is better. Also a whole bunch of my addons (some of which are mission-critical to my browsing needs) were not [and a small few are still not] compatible with anything above 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x so I had to wait for those (mmm, stew). And then to top it off I figure the possibility that I'll run into upgrade problems is smaller if I go through the chain of updates rather than jumping from 3.6 straight to 7. And don't get me started on the whole rapid release schedule. :P

Bring back calendar list view in iOS!!

If you, like me, have just upgraded to the latest iOS 7.1, you will quickly notice that Apple has made another change to the calendar app by adding a hybrid view, which allows you to see the calendare and list view, but the list view is only for the current day selected!
At least in the previous version, you could still see list view by selecting search, but now even this functionality is gone!
For me, the list view is the most efficient way of seeing my appointments, calendar events etc, to get a good sense of what's going on.
In my view, a calendar with dots on it has no value, you get minimal information on your appointments.
An Apple fail! Bring back list view!!
In the meantime, are there any third party apps that display a list view calendar?
I mainly use it for google calendar and tripit calendar.

Carlo,
It is still there, just different.
When in the day view, touch the List View icon I have circled in the following image:
