Forum Status!

I have noticed in my first posting that it shows 'Visitor' beneath your name.
Any chance of changing this to reflect the old forums or is there a list of types of users - have seen KerryG's as Community Manager or others a Moderator!
Nice to know i am a Visitor but a regular visitor if that

Hi Computer Geek
Glad to have you onboard with the new forums and to hear that you will be a regular visitor.
We are introducing a new and improved ranking system and that will be reflected in your rank status. That is why you show as a visitor…for now! As you continue to use the forum, post messages, reply to posts, give ratings etc. you will find that your status will change. Positive community behaviour will result in you progressing through the ranks and will give extra privileges to those members who achieve senior ranks.
What are the different ranks?
Well… I’ll leave that a secret for the moment – you will start to see your status changing over the next few days and weeks so will get to know some of them as you contribute to the community. But don’t worry I won’t keep you in suspense for too long, ill post something in the announcements section in the coming weeks so you can see the full structure.
Thx
Kerry

How Can Users Contact Forum Support?

While browsing through the site, I found this post: Welcome to Verizon Community Forums
While most of the links provided work, there is a link for "Forums Technical Support" that leads to a 404 error page. Is there a correct link for Forum Support?
The only real issue I seem to have with the forum is when it won't allow me to log in, and I've only ever had that happen twice. Both times I had several other people try from different networks with different logins, and no one was able to login. This makes it impossible to post in the forums, even to report that there is an issue.
It would be nice to have a way to contact Forum Support to let them know when there is an issue with logging in. Also, maybe a thread somewhere that only Admins/Mods have access to edit that lets forum users know when there is an issue. (This would put my mind at ease. No need to contact support to let them know that there is an issue if they are already aware of it.)
So, the short version:
1. Forum Support link is broken.
2. Forum Status thread would be helpful.
Just my thoughts, feel free to use, not use, add to, or consider indefinitely.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

Not sure what link you are referring to. Out of curiosity I pulled up the page source, and the link I'm talking about directs to: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Terms-of-Service-and-User/Welcome-to-Verizon-Community-Forums/board?boa...
This appears that the link is supposed to go to the Forum Feedback and Suggestions board, which I already knew about. (Obviously, since this post is on that board.) So it looks like the link just needs to be updated.
Unfortunately, I was hoping for an alternate route to support and/or a status post.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

QUESTION: Does a respondent's forum status improve when he is
designated as having provided a proper solution?
DILEMMA
I am torn between providing a summary statement that
acknowledges who provided what information, but is of my own
authorship, and stealing points from my own benefactor. I prefer a
summary statement, because it helps me to clarify what I have
learned, and it provides forum participants, who might later be
interested in my topic, with a clear answer to my question.

If it helps you, fine. As Nancy says, there are no bonus
points (at
least not yet, although Community Help does have a points
system, so it
might change here too).
In theory, a good summary should help other users, but sadly
very few
people bother to search the forum before asking questions.
One reason is
because the current search system is worse than useless.
Another is
sheer laziness. I understand that Adobe plans to upgrade the
forums
sometime in the not too distant future. Hopefully, a good
search feature
will be included.
In the meantime, the best way to search is to use Google
groups
http://groups.google.com/group/macromedia.dreamweaver/topics?hl=en&lnk).
All these forum posts are mirrored there for ease of
searching.

How do you REPORT Phishing Scams sending personal messages in these Forums?

I've looked high and low, and I have no idea how to report a user. Nor how to report Personal Messages of the following nature:
I first realized it WASN'T actually a Staff member after I saw current forum status as a regular "member", then was further clued in by the "English" used in the message body.
Why isn't there "Report as SPAM" and "Report PHISHING SCAM" options in the mailbox? Once you have been here for a while they are likely easy to spot, but it's obvious they are targeting those who just barely set up their accounts and are receiving other mail in the inbox automatically from the server.
Not sure if this will just be deleted but here is the abuser's information:
Avatar is a "Wrench" and this person then uses a "24 / 7" Image
Their NAME in the Message is: Support Analyst 24x7
Their message was as follows:
Hi!
We apologize for the inconvenience caused. One of our support specialist
will contact you soon please provide us your Skype ID and Telephone for
further communication.
Note-To reply us go to your Email Account Inbox and reply us on the same email

Well, I did notice a report function, on "some" of the forum boards, as an available side bar tool. But I still have no idea where, or how, to report Personal Message Spam and Phishing scams..
As that is something that really bothers me, I guess I will move-on to other Forums and check back here from time to time to see if this has been addressed.

How do I install Adobe Acrobat as a Google Drive App?

Does Anyone Use Google Drive?
I started using Google Drive when I bought my Acer Chromebook last year... why? I wanted thought a free 100GB Google Drive account sounded nice for just trying a Chromebook. Ok... I can do a lot with my Google Drive, but why can't I edit PDF's?
Someone else out there has probably run into the same problem as me...
Google Docs doesn't seem to do what I need. It allows me to import and convert my PDFs into docx format. Why can't I just edit my PDFs and save in pdf format?
Can Someone Tell me How to Install Acrobat as a Google Drive App?

FTP Transport in OSB 10gR3

Hi,
I've just created a Business Service in OSB to send a message using the FTP transport. Although OSB connects with the FTP server but gets a 500 code response from it and the PUT command fails. This is the console output:
+<29-ene-2009 16H35' CET> <Error> <WliSbTransports> <BEA-381105> <Error occured for the service endpoint: com.bea.wli.sb.transports.TransportException: Received error response (500) from FTP server [http://ftp.telefonica.net] IP [http://213.4.130.43] port [21|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/] status connected upon executing command [port 10,10,10,10,6,6 |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/]+

I belive that this response from the FTP server means that a reconnection to a higher port is required. Anyone knows if this functionality is managed by the FTP transport implementation used by OSB10gR3?
Thanks

Your response was helpful but being new to OSB I'm still not quite there because I want to pass a "variable" to the file name. Now given I want to ftp a CSV file I've specified a proxy messaging service in an MFL format behind a jms queue. The business service underlying this is the ftp service again using the MFL format. This all works but in the message flow I for the proxy I can't seem to get access to a user defined property which contains the filename which I could then pull out and stuff into the "filename" header as suggested above.
Doe anyone have any ideas how I can get access to a filename property from a JMS message?From what i understand
JMSQ--- JMS PRoxy (MFL)----Pipeline ----->BS (MFL/FTP)---FTP server
So you would like to set the filename that is contained the JMS message custom headers?. While creating your JMS Proxy you have to follow these steps
1) While creating JMS Proxy in Transport Configuration page select Get All Headers =Yes
2) If file name is set as user defined property in JMS message then use $Header in you pipeline/message flow. This variable will hold your user defined properties. If the user defined property is part of JMS message then use $body.
thanks

Visitors can't tag Facebook photos posted via LR4 publish module

What I'm bringing up is going to be a strange and esoteric issue, and I'll be surprised if anyone has any input to offer, but here goes.
We run a Facebook Page that relies on posting many photos and enabling page visitors to tag themselves in said photos. Up until the LR4 release, we were simply posting these photos through Facebook's web interface. Starting last week, we started using the LR4 publish module to publish straight to our page in order to skip a whole step in our workflow, and we were thrilled with how well it was working. Since then we've uploaded three photo albums via Lightroom. However, beginning just yesterday an interesting issue has developed. We started getting complaints from guests that they couldn't tag their images, and after testing it out, we confirmed that visitors are no longer able to tag themselves in the LR-uploaded photo albums. This was not the case the whole past week, where we saw dozens and dozens of people being tagged. All older albums (ones uploaded traditionally) still let guests tag photos with no issues.
Anyone have any insight to shed? As much as we love being able to publish right from Lightroom, we plan to revert back to posting via Facebook like always until this issue is resolved.

Me too, narxzrugn!
fans are unable to tag photos on my fan pages since January 2012.
Steps taken to resolve issue:
- have set page profile setting “People can tag photos posted by Spinferno {Fire & Photography}” to ticked.
- have set page type to ‘person’ (Artist)
- have reauthenticated my Jfeidl Lightroom export plugin and attempted to test again. Unsuccessful.
- have looked into Adobe’s LR4 forum: status is unsolved.
- have sent several FB support requests: no replies yet.
I alone am able to tag all photos, but nobody else is.
To everyone who is having this problem, please stand up and be counted as that will get this problem more fairly escalated by Abobe and FB:
Here is the tag issues in FB community help, please make it clear that you too are experiencing this problem, thanks.

Switchers beware - email from Mail is not processed by Outlook properly

I was furious to learn yesterday that many of the emails I have sent over the past few months to Customers / Suppliers / Colleagues and friends just haven't been read properly. The reason for this due to Mail's failing to send a compatible format which can easily be read on outlook!!! Either the email is not able to be processed by Outlook properly, or Mail sends it in an unexpected format removing text from the message, unexpectedly. Just be very careful not to assume your email is being read in a way Mail presents it to you by your Outlook recipients!
This is absolutely unforgivable, IMHO, from such a basic application which is apparently part of the "most advances operating system in the world"! Apple like to keep crowing about the compatibility with Microsoft applications, but they cant even claim this for their basic bundled email client!
I have a few examples, here is one: create a new mail; type some text; leave 3 line spaces; type some more text; leave 3 more line spaces; type some text to sign off. Insert two photos by drag and drop into the two spaces you left between the text. The mail looks great doesn't it? Address it to a friend who uses Outlook (certainly Outlook 2008) on Windows (or an address which can be set-up on a Windows Outlook client), press send. Check out how it looks in your sent items, still looks great! Now check it on Outlook. The first piece of text is in the message body. The photos are there as attachments. The rest of your message has been shifted to two separate text attachments which look too innocuous to be bothered with. I wonder how this would look on a blackberry???
The point is, depending on how the mail is worded can mean the actual message can be completely lost and you would never know why?
This is a massive failing for Mail which I don't see many people discussing, so am I alone? Other examples include inserted line breaks in messages once they are read on Outlook. I dread to think how the mail appears on a blackberry?
If I knew how to include screen shots here I would.

Hi Barney, I am replying to you to apologise for coming across as adversarial. I didn’t mean to. I was venting frustration at Apple for what I see as causing me a problem using their Mail client as instructed, and the email not showing up in recipients Outlook clients as intended. I will not use this forum to vent frustration at Apple in future as it clearly upsets some people here.
I still feel that this is a major flaw on Apple’s part, especially as most other widely used clients and Webmail don’t present this problem. I will have users on my case asking me why Mail doesn’t send email properly to our customers who use Outlook. They will hate Entourage and it will drive them back towards Outlook on Windows, which I don’t want because I believe superior productivity can be achieved with Mail, Address Book, iCal etc.
Barney-15E wrote:
I send Mail to my Outlook account at work and it shows up exactly as I sent it, after I enable HTML in Outlook. My exchange server turns off HTML by default and I must specifically select it in each message. I have tried various methods including "Windows friendly," and I actually got better results by not using that option.
Communicating this to all our suppliers and customers is impractical.
Well then, just use Thunderbird.
That doesn’t help and is not why I am posting a topic here. I am just pointing out that it must be possible for Apple to address this issue by highlighting that Thunderbird has.
What every person should know is that there is no standard that prevents an email client from displaying an email any way it wishes. No matter what you do on your end when sending, the recipient's email client decides how to display the email. If you want people to see a document exactly as you prepared it, send a pdf. It is designed for that exact purpose. Email is not.
I agree. Every person should know this, but I don’t think they do. I do think users have the right to expect their email, at the very least, to be readable (all text present) in this scenario.
I agree that complex formatting, web publication style columns etc. should be preserved for HTML email and pdf etc. and not expect Mail to produce email readable by other receiving clients.
However, I think expecting users to convert documents to pdf just because they want to attach a photo is impractical, unproductive and unnecessary. Email is evolving from a pure text only way to communicate and users are being encouraged by Apple to use Mail for this purpose. I really don’t think I am expecting too much in this scenario. I think even Apple would agree to this. I could well be wrong though, which is why I’m using their forum.
It does send internet compatible email. How your recipient sees that message is up to their client.
I bow to your expertise here. Your forum status suggests you are more qualified than I on this topic and I am sure Apple are clever enough to ensure their client sends internet compatible email.
It certainly appears that the receiving client is at fault by seemingly not following internet standards as you suggest, in this case Outlook. However, it doesn’t help Mail users because Outlook is used by so many business customers and suppliers, so many family members and friends. Users of Mail should be aware of what is happening to their simple messages upon receipt by Outlook. Or Mail should compensate for this. I strongly feel that this is a major flaw. As mentioned, I don't know of another widely used client that has this problem with Outlook recipients. Surely this is as important to most users as ensuring email is internet compliant.
Outlook is so widely used that MS is powerful enough to ignore that, just because Mail follows certain standards, messages from Mail are pulled to pieces and miss-presented to Outlook users. Complaining to MS is a complete waste of time. Outlook writes it's own standards and as far as I know, Mail is the only email client that cant send this simple mail in a way that can be easily read by Outlook users.
Trying to make your software "Microsoft compliant" is stupid, ...
I think many, including Apple, and most software developers and users think otherwise. Take a look at one post in this forum entitled Snow Leopard with Exchange support not working 33,000+ views and proof that Apple are trying hard to interact properly with MS email products.
...as they will just change the specification to break your program.
I think it’s an unfortunate but necessary evil at the moment. You are probably right to elude to the fact that the industry should be better regulated.

Status of Wiki and Forum updates/migration/changes

Hey all,
I've spent about two hours e-mailing and PMing various people interested in helping out with various wiki and forum tasks. This thread is an announcement of the current status, with the intent of getting everyone up to date. Its also an invitation to people working independently on things to get in touch with me ([email protected]), because I've found there's some duplicate labour going on out there. Please if you respond to this thread, keep on topic and be serious. Most of the current set up is about technical details; if you're not interested in these, don't post. Suggestions from interested observers can go in other threads (there's a lot to choose from!), I want actual feedback from people that are involved or willing to be involved with this project.
First, it looks like sometime in the future, we will be migrating the forums to punbb. The details haven't been hashed out yet, but Romashka and cactus have both been working on testing the migration process. Migration seems to be relatively simple, but there are a lot of small details to be worked out. I don't have any specific timeline, but I'm guessing the new forum won't be ready until sometime next year.
Second, we may be migrating to dokuwiki sometime in the future. I'm not sure when, but it probably won't be until after the forum migration or at the same time. Regardless of whether or not we migrate from mediawiki to dokuwiki, we are planning on integrating the wiki and forum authentication mechanism, so your account on one will also work on the other. (In the long run, I'm praying we can get organized enough to also integrate AUR and flyspray, but that's a vision not even open for discussion yet!).
Third, we are currently working on cleaning up the current mediawiki. Romashka is working on a new style and template to make the current installation more aesthetically tolerable. Foxbunny is working on the actual wiki texts, category, and language structure. Tardo has some kind of hack to deal with the multi-language issue; I'm not sure if that will be implemented, as I have no information yet on how difficult it is. Someone (possibly me) will also have to update the mediawiki installation from 1.5.whatever to 1.8.latest.
Chronologically, the cleanup of the current wiki will occur first, in the next few weeks, hopefully. Once we have an idea of how pretty and how organized we can make the existing installation, we will make the final decision on a dokuwiki migration. The integration of punbb and dokuwiki|mediawiki has to happen at about the same time, so the migration will not happen until after the forum migration.
We've have been considering setting up a mailing list or private forum for discussion of these topics, to restrict discussion to those people who are actually interested in helping out. Because I don't really like the elitist nature of such a move, I'm making this forum the place for open discussion on this topic for now.
Thanks,
Dusty

Hello Mac heads.! I just downloaded Onyx for tiger. All went well. But I try to launch onyx from my applications and it doesn't offer checking the S.M.A.R.T. status so I can check my disk. Everything else appears. Uninstall only, forums, website etc.

I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

How to update my status here on the Adobe Forums?

I am here on this forum and on the left it says, "You haven't updated your status". OK I click on the link and off it sends me to where I should go to do this but I can not see anywhere as to how or where to do this. I do a Ctrl-F for a "Find" and type in the word ''status' should my eyes be failing me as to where this can be done, but nothing shows up. So I'm lost here.

Hi Thanks to all of you. I agree this isn't FB. so I was wondering what they meant by Status. I was hoping that once there I would know whether I'd want to or not, But if it is a thing similar to FB or if it has been disabled then problem solved :-)

What is the criteria for MVP Status in these forums?

In a thread I engaged in recently...a name popped up that I had never seen anywhere in my long involvement on these Forums ( particularly Premiere)
The name has 30 points credited to it and 'MVP +' status.
Whats my 4785 points worth..." chopped liver"
The point and MVP system is meaningless jive arse talk.

Your post got me curious. I tracked down the person you are talking about.
You ready to laugh?
That's JerryK. He was here before we were. Back in the days when he and Darcy moderated the Premiere forums.
So, just a screen name change. Nothing mysterious. Just an old friend with a new, more complete, moniker.
I hope you are enjoying your summer. Have a great day!
