Business Catalyst changes for the worst

I just have to say that I am getting really frustrated with the changes going on with Business Catalyst at the moment. Here are a few things I am finding really frustrating. Does anyone else feel the same?
What happened to the www.businesscatalyst.com site. It now redirects to a section within Adobe site. In my opinion this new sub site is a usability nightmare, especially when trying to find out pricing.
There are no clear links to forums and support on this new sub site.
There are so many broken links in the support site. Much of the useful content I used to reference constantly leads to broken links.
Why have many of my sites automatically been switched to the V3 Preview. I also feel that V3 Preview a massive move in the wrong direction. Sure it looks pretty mut many of the useful cross links have disapeared such as links to the Advance Layout Customization whilst in a web app or catalog.
My main frustration is with the support site. Come on Business Catalyst, why have you made something that was working fine into something that is almost ususable.

Well good look in other systems such as wordpres then, I think folowing your comments you will find similar and different issues along the same stuff if these things are causing you problems.
Change can be jarring for some and some adopt faster then others. Things are not perfect yet but with every release there is a big list of UI improvments with the new interface design. It also sets in place the framework interface design for all the new features being worked on.
Web apps wont stay as they are and a new web app system with more controls, more options will be included and how it has been seperated in the interace has that line in mind.
I think the left hand menu system is one of the more polished elements and I find it works very well, Top elements of pages, definition of buttons, and some links and things (some added in the last update) have been needed and People have commnted on say getSatisifaction and BC have listened and rolled out the changes.
I do not think having just a general rant blast is any way constructive at all and I have to say, bar the tweaks needed your sadly in the minority with your views on it.
But as with anything, if you feel this is not for you, find something that is. Good look though. I have used Many current CMS's out there and bar the small ones that lack functionality but have awesome UI design, Joomla, Wordpress, not exactly the best things in the world when you use them. Big Commerce is quite nice but has the same issues as the old BC UI and like...
Blog is on the main site, town hall stuff is on the blog.
In terms of the support changes, they are not good, I myself am trying to push on getting things improved as others in the comminty

Modifying Business Catalyst Templates for the first time...

... how would I go about getting the business catalyst templates for modifying in Muse?

Hi Craftalien,
Thank you for contacting us.
Muse works on the ".muse" file. Even If you download an Adobe Business Catalyst template you will not get the MUSE file for it and MUSE will not be able to open it.

'Voice Memo' changed for the worst after 8.1...

Apple has changed how the 'Voice Memo' app works. It no longer switches automatically to speaker volume when played. You must now enable it manually by clicking the little speaker icon (will turn blue) towards the upper right corner.
Pre iOS 8.1 (or earlier versions) installation:
1. Voice Memo would sound through speakerphone once play is engaged
2. When a headphone is plugged in; sound comes through headphone, when removed; sound comes back to speakerphone.
Post iOS 8.1 installation:
1. When played with no headphones, sound now comes through the earpiece enabling you to listen like while listening to a call.
2. No sound through speakers - will not come on unless you press the little speaker icon (turned blue) towards the upper right corner. Will override earpiece volume.
3. When headphone is plugged in, it will override both speaker/earpiece depending on what mode it was on
4. Unplugging headphone will not bring sound back to speakers but only to earpiece.
Too much work.

I did a hard reset by holding the two buttons down. Mine worked the same way as you described. How about unplugging the headphone? It will not default back to the last state, ie; speakerphone>headphone>unplug headphone>earpiece. As stated in this logical order, it will not go back to speakerphone but to earpiece.
My guess is that they've added the 'earpiece' feature therefore an icon is needed. But instead of for controlling the speakerphone, the icon should be for the earpiece, or AT LEAST automatically defaults back to speakerphone when the jack is free.
Honestly, I'd rather prefer it like before instead of having more steps to tinker with.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

Hello Rahul,
aggregation is not changing status on LTVD. (Possibly LTVD has been already agregated). Newly maintained LTVD is not changing status of the product, its remaining negative whatsoever.

Unable to Save more than 1 Business-object-provider for the Connector.

I m using MEP 1.0 Platform.
My Ecbo Connector "BankDb" had initially "Account" Object Provider which i was able to save successfully via the MEP console.Later on i added the "Statement" Object Provider to the same connector. But i get this Exception
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object:
{[[email protected]f,
[email protected]55,
[email protected]f,
[email protected]c,
[email protected]2,
[email protected]d,
[email protected]9]} is not a known entity type.
I shut down my Server & then restarted it.i removed the AccountObject Provider & Added StatementObject Provider instead & clicked save & it saved my Connector Successfully But when i tried to add the AccountProvider too i get the same exception.In short i am unable to save both providers at the same time in the console.
I googled later on & found something Similar on java.net
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3235
I am not sure about all of this as i am just a beginner.
Please Help
Thx in Advance
Alex.

Hello, thanks for your interest in the GlassFish Mobility Platform. The ECBO architecture supports exactly one business-object-provider per connector. You could combine your account and statement data into a single composite business object. You could also upgrade to MEP 1.1 and use the dynamic data feature (JerseyME) on the client to retrieve dynamic data such as the statement report and use the business-object-provider for the synchronized data, ie. the account activity. For more information see the [Sun GlassFish Mobility Platform 1.1 Developer's Guide for Enterprise Connectors|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7207] .

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

I have an IPhone 5 black, an want tho change for the white one.

I have an IPhone 5 black, an want tho change for the white one. Only 17 days and the painting is foling of :( . The phone is protected from day 1. Need help. Bought from Vodafone Portugal.
Thx

If a defect in a single device causes you decide that you will no longer purchase Apple products, that is certainly within your rights to decide. But I'd suggest you allow Apple to replace your iPhone, which again will be another black model, and see if that unit fares better. Then if that replacement iPhone has the same problem with the coating flaking off, you would have justification for asking Apple to replace the black iPhone with a white one.
By the way, we are all just fellow users here, so making blanket statements about Apple's overall product quality and threatening to stop buying Apple products really is of no help to anyone.

Muse site uploaded to Business catalyst, where are the css files?

Hello.
I've uploaded a site created in Muse to my Business Catalyst account. I want to access the css files but in Business catalyst Admin/Site Manager there is no File Manager for the CSS files. How do I make any change? I know I can make changes in the page editor but I need the CSS files as well. Similarly, how do I replace an image, I can't find an images folder either? Do all of these changes have to be done in the Muse program itself?
Muse is new to me so thank you for any help.
Grant

Hi Grant,
Because for now CSS and HTML file editing is incompatible with Muse (e.g. republishing your site will potentially overwrite all the changes), we've decided to hide the file manager for Muse users.
However, there is a way to re-enable it. In order to enable site management for your user, please log into your site, and click on "My Details" (upper right). In the My details page, please check the option "Enable online content editing (incompatible with Muse)", and enter the password to confirm. A new entry (Site Manager) will appear in your menu.

Do I need to use Business Catalyst to use the built-in forms?

I use FTP voyager to host my website. I have a contact form on my website, when I fill out the form this dialog box appears: "This standard HTML form is configured to work with Adobe Business Catalyst". Once I click OK I then get the message the from has been sent and recieved, I check my email and I have not recieved an email.
Can somebody please tell me if there is something I need to do to overcome this issue, or do forms not work unless you are using Buinsess Catalyst?

I'm sorry. At this time, contact forms only work using Business Catalyst. Please see this forum thread for more info:
