More random mucking with the forums

Just what I have been waiting for, more random mucking with the forums,....

Should we start a pool to see how many forums allow javascript posts after the change?

  • There is something wrong with the forum

    There is something wrong with the forum. it is messed up.!
    I been a little bit observant this past few days, I observed alot of problems..
    here are a few, ( there are actually alot more, but I could not describe it. its just very weird.
    I thought someone hacked to my profile and used it to ask that one, but when I clicked on it, it was just one of the questions I have responded to.
    sometimes I can not post to threads, an error would come up, most especially if I reply to a reply,
    sometimes, when I Post images it would work the first time I post it, but when I search for it again, only the links are given, no images anymore.
    sometimes I get booted out randomly, in the middle of writing a reply
    sometimes the posts switches from threaded to flat , flat to threaded, and sometimes both.
    sometimes when I checked on the stuffs>discussion, the post is highlighted but there is no new response or like, and even there was, I can see which one is it, especially to the posts that had many reply already
    sometimes it still sends email to my gmail eventhough i have unsubscribe to the post already,
    sometimes get error 504, and some other numbers I forgot.
    sometimes during writing a response the blinking thing that indicates where are you writing goes missing or on the wrong place.
    OH come on..! I am trying to help, you don't want one?
    and don't blame it on ,my browser ( i checked and used IE9, FIREFOX, and even CHROME), or to my internet connection.( i got the best there is for home connections), or to my laptop ( it's a little bit old, but it still kicks butt holes) and tried it already with other pc/internet connection/and whatnot.
    I am still sometimes visiting my previous home (NOKIA FORUM) and I don't experience those, and we even have live chat over there,
    this forum needs a revamp. and how I wish this could be repaired via Sony Update Service, or PC Companion, but of course if it was possible I would have done it already.
    We try to help users, make the forum conducive for users trying to help users. \m/
    best of luck,,

  • I had an issue when trying to register with the forums, but I am having problems speaking someone because I am not a "registered" member?

    Dear forum member(s), I was excited at the possibilities that Firefox offered. I have been looking forward to researching on the forums, but I made a blunder when registering.
    I changed my email password some time ago and forgot that I had done so. I also have a second email which is similar to my address I was registering and I think I was actually using my the second email information until I caught the mistake.
    Shortly thereafter I received an email with my user ID but no password. I had been assuming that I would receive a onetime computer generated password, but I wasn’t sure how things were supposed to go. After closely studying the language of the email, I was led to the conclusion that I would login with my original information I had provided.
    My final attempt to register failed and I can’t explain why. I am positive that I had the right user id and password and now I am in limbo. I registered with the "Add-ons" section in 15 minutes. I was never told I was banned, but I was never told I am now a member. Thanks for reading.
    Sincerely,
    reel4

    Not at all. I have never posted to the forums. The only thing I have written is what you see in this thread. I registered at add-ons section and things were fine. I wanted to use the forums, because I like to learn what I can. The problems began when I tried to register at the forms. At first, I thought my login from add-ons would work at the forums. It didn't. I honestly don't know if there is separate login and validation for each firefox/mozilla section.
    When I attempted to register with the forums, I messed up when trying to login because I made too many attempts. I was either using another password from a second email or I misread those weird words they use to make sure you are not a bot.
    I don't know what exactly was written but they basically wanted to take a look at things. I felt that was reasonable. After all - I felt like a moron for not being able to read those contorted word tests.
    Then they sent me my user id but with no new password so I assumed my current password was the same as the one I originally gave. Long story short, I tried to login again- all three times I failed. They never banned me or told me anything. I have not heard from anyone or thing. To It's like they have just walked away. I just don't understand what has happened and why no one will tell me anything. So... no - I am not banned. When I do bet blocked after I logoff, it has the same effect as a ban. I guess I have been ousted. I just wish this I could get this matter resolved. I changed my password and email so maybe that will keep around.
    It's a strange situation and I am at loss for words. I even wrote the forum people an apology letter describing the facts above in details and apologizing for the inconvenience. I actually apologized for being an idiot.
    One last thing - at the outset of the post - I told you they gave me one last opportunity to login and it failed. I know for a fact I had the information correct. I had even written my password somewhere else on the screen to where I could see each character to verify the pass word was correct and then cut and paste.
    James - who knows what the future holds but I must thank you my friend. At the very least, I could tell my story. It is all so strange.

  • Good luck with the forum + ePub feature request

    Good idea about the new forum! I'm sure it will thrive.
    EPub creation in InDesign has advanced by leaps and bounds. Last week I created a fairly heavily illustrated fiction ePub out of InDesign in "one sitting", and -- amazingly -- without having to touch the resulting ePub in an external editor!  (This was a book that I had typeset for print in InDesign as well, so of course that makes it easier.) Just a little custom CSS, and some custom paragraph styles and object export settings. I think that's great, and thanks to Douglas Waterfall who is clearly doing an amazing job, plus is very attentive to listening to users' requests and ideas.
    Avoiding the use of an external editor is in my opinion very desirable, and currently, InDesign's Achilles heel when it comes to that is the navigation pane. The navigation pane is constructed according to a TOC that the user has created in InDesign, but not everything can be created with an InDesign TOC.
    On the most basic level, chapters in the actual ePub might be formatted as so:
    CHAPTER 1
    Trains
    CHAPTER 2
    Planes
    CHAPTER 3
    Automobiles
    ... but in the nav. pane, one would prefer:
    1. Trains
    2. Planes
    3. Automobiles
    As far as I'm aware, the only way to achieve that currently is by opening up the ePub after export with an external editor and editing the nav pane manually.
    So if InDesign could offer some way to have more flexibility with that, and avoid the need to edit externally, that would be great.
    Ariel
    PS And of course, some sort of live preview when editing for ePubs in InDesign is also crucial.
    PPS I still can't help wondering if a separate Adobe ePub editor wouldn't be better than foisting it all on InDesign. Obviously, this ePub editor should be able to open InDesign files.

    You have a wonderful positive attitude, Pierre, but two things: 
    1.  They shouldn't be a work in progress - they should be polished and complete.  As it is it gives people the impression that the company's products are unpolished and lacking in function.
    2.  We may have a say, through threads like this one, but it rarely seems to make any difference.  Again that seems to reflect Adobe's overall current philosophy for product development and release...  Consider the fact that they virtually always plan to release what they already have built - even though people may feed back many problem reports during beta testing.  It happened with the Photoshop CS6 beta, it happens with the Camera Raw betas, and we have this forum software that, despite being released in an unfinished state, isn't being actively modified per anyone's requests.
    There's only one good reason for exposing unfinished software - to solicit feedback to help find what's unfinished and prioritize what needs to be done to finish it.
    It's not working, Adobe.
    Hello?  Is this thing on?

  • Random problem with this forum page loading

    Hi I have a random problem when trying to load pages on this forum where somthing like this might hapen
    [URL=http://www.imagebam.com/image/57659f268651981][IMG]http://thumbnails106.imagebam.com/26866/57659f268...
    It does not happen all the time. But when it does if I press the refresh button It sorts itself out
    Is anyone else having this problem

    Same problem is back after only one day. When using Safari (latest version), if I click on the following link...
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=218
    All I see is the Category headings (no latest posts) and I'm NOT automatically signed in. When I attempt to sign in, I then go the the "new user" data page. After signing in, I get very restrictive access to the forum.
    When I sign in with Firefox, everything is normal. Yesterday when I had this problem, I erases the cookies from Safari and everything returned to normal. I hate to have to erase my cookies everyday to get access here as I prefer to use Safari.
    Is this happening to anyone else?

  • Ok... so iOS5 has brought some cool (and useful) new features.... good job.  However, moving forward I would like to see even more "holding faith" with the overall philosophy of lots of devices interacting with a single data set.

    My first, and perhaps clearest, example here is iMessage.  It's great that I can take and reply to messages on my iPhone and on my iPad as if it didn't matter which device I use.  However, I spend most of my working day on my Mac, and it's a little annoying to have to use one of my other devices to send and receive messages when my most powerful device (my Mac) is right there under my finger tips.  I'm an iChat user, which has some great functionality, but of course it doesn't integrate with iMessage in anyway or Facetime for that matter, even though you can effectively do a "Facetime" call on iChat if the other person has the appropriate user account. 
    So my question/suggestion is - I wonder if there's a way of bringing iChat, iMessage, Facetime etc... all into harmony so that messages, video chatting, screen sharing etc... is dealt with under a single application.  I accept you may have it so that there is more functionality on, say, your Mac (e.g. screen sharing).  But the integration would still be helpful I think.
    Any thoughts (with the hope that Apple will also see these comments/answers/suggestions and take it as food for thought on product development)?
    Incidentally, and also for Apple's benefit, please don't read this message as as meaning that I don't like what's already been done!  It's great and I think it really is moving in the right direction.  It's just that there's still room for improvement.

    Thanks for responding Wes.  I've pasted the confusing text from that website referenced in my original post below:
    Ingest movie clips  
    You can ingest entire movie clips or a selected portion of the movie clips (partial ingest). You can also transcode the selected movie clips using more than one encoding option.
         Select File > Ingest. Alternatively, press Ctrl+I (Win) or Cmd+I (Mac OS).
         Navigate to the folder containing media, and click the folder. The contents of the folder are displayed in the center panel.
    Tip: To access folders from which you previously ingested content, use the menu above the panel.
         Do the following based on your requirements:
    To view content as Thumbnails, click the Icon View button.
    To view content as a list, click the List View button.
    To quickly preview the contents of a movie clip, drag the cursor across the thumbnail. You can also click the thumbnail and use the playhead to scrub the movie. Alternatively, use the JKL keys to control playback of the selected thumbnail.
    To change the thumbnail size of movie clips in the panel, use the Zoom slide bar.

  • Exchange 2013 SP1 users randomly prompted with "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook"

    I got a call to check an issue with a Exchange Server 2013 SP1 environment recently. All server was upgraded from Exchange server 2013 CU2 to Exchange Server 2013 SP1. It was done successfully but many users were being randomly prompted with a popup in their outlook
    client with the following message:-
    “The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook”

    Hi,
    Does the issue happen to all Outlook 2013 users? Please create a new Outlook profile to have a try.
    If it fails, please check the msExchHomePublicMDB value in ADSI Edit:
    1. In Adsiedit, expand Configuration-->CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.

  • Is something wrong with the forum?

    I see whole topics and answers disappearing.

    Short answer - YES!
    I think that most of the really useful and interesting threads have been linked already.
    As Noel points out, there could well be variables for certain users - some might see issues, while others will not.
    For today, May 13, I have seen some of those issues but a few times, while over the preceding three days, was seeing them with every action in the forum. Better today? Yes, though not as perfectly as it is for Noel.
    Good luck to us all,

  • Does 4G drain the battery more than 3G with the iPhone 5?

    Hi im due an upgrade and im thinking about getting 4G, but does it drain the battery more than it does with 3G with the iPhone 5?

    the phone can handle it or else it wouldn't be supported. it can also handle LTE which is even faster than 4G in most cases

  • Mozilla Firefox problems with the forums

    I just spent an hour trying to access the forums when using Firefox 12. It does not display the bar with the New Your Stuff history etc. It updated itself yesterday or the day before and since then it is impossible to use on this forum.
    I just had a thought and tried IE9 64 bit and it works OK. Loaded the same url on Firefox and the bar with the welcome username was not there.
    It shows that I am logged in under the search box but still asks for me to log in. I even contacted Customer support, but they could not help.
    So if you have problems accessing the forum, use a different browser.

    I tried to log in on the page and it would not accept my password as I was already logged in to Adobe. A new password made no difference, it still would not accept the password and username. Logging in with IE9 was no problem.
    Normally when I click on the adobe forums link on the Dreamweaver help  I am sent to http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver?lang=en_US  on my default browser - Mozilla. For some days now I have not been sent there, but arrive on the Adobe main page, and have to search for the forums using their search feature. Perhaps there was a crossed or broken link?
    However, today for the first time for a while, it seems to be all working fine. I did report the problem to Mozilla, but whether they did anything I do not know at the moment.
    I will see if this continues to work properly and report back.
    Best wishes

  • Problems with the forums -- Oracle personnel please escalate

    I'm sure many have posted this somewhere, but in case they haven't -- the forums aren't rendering code snippets, which looks like xml, properly. In some cases, its eliminating them altogether, in others, it cuts out big chunks, in others it replaces some xml markup with smilies. The result is that its rendering tons of posts and information in them as totally useless.
    If I had to guess, this is because the forums aren't rendering using rawText or something like this, but at the very least, until the problem can be totally fixed, turn off smilies. Smilies are nice, but next to code which document answers, they are unimportant.
    Thanks,
    B

    Shay,
    "We did report it to the people in charge, and they asked that feedback will be posted on the feedback forum."
    I understand your personal plight, and I thank you for passing on the information as you were told. But what I'm talking about is kind of big-picture stuff, pertaining to Oracle as a whole. It encompasses not only the issue of the new forums, but support of any product, be it on forums or metalink, documentation, examples, etc. The frustration coming out that I see seems to have a central theme: Oracle having a "fend for yourself" mentality to their customers.
    Someone posts on the forums, can't get an answer, so they are told "these are for user communication". Then they are told "go post a tar". Then they post a tar and are sent a document they've already read. Then others have said that tars won't address how-tos. Then the JDev forums have problems, and users give feedback, and the response is "go post this somewhere else.".
    This looks like continually passing the buck, propagating an internal bureaucracy to for users to have to understand how to navigate, and forcing upon your users the responsibility for facilitating communication within Oracle. I think Oracle really needs to work on putting themselves in the shoes of their customers, and change the self-centric attitude. I highly doubt that Oracle treats their customers with respect to accounts receivable with the same apparent lethargy they treat customers with respect to support.

  • Mucking with the desktop images folder

    I have the desktop background image randomly rotating through a folder on my system. The problem I've run into, is that I'd like to be able to add and remove images from the folder (I have a script that pulls in photos from friends flickr streams, etc, and removes old ones so as not to fill my hd). However, the "desktop image rotator" doesn't seem to like this. If I remove the image currently shown, it will simply stop rotating. I've also noticed that it can get into a state where, when it does the cross-fade between images, it'll show some random image, but only during the cross fade. That is, it starts with image A displayed. When the cross fade starts it immediately jumps to some random image X then cross fades to image B. The cross fade ends with image B displayed for the rotation interval, then the cross fade starts again by immediately switching to a random image Y, then smoothly cross fading to C, which is again shown for the normal interval.
    So, instead of A->B->C, I get A->X->B->Y->C (note, all of these images are randomly pulled from the directory. Just because I used letters in order doesn't imply that I'm actually expecting images to be pulled in any order from the folder).
    The really odd part is that the X and Y images are usually images that no longer exist. Does the desktop image rotator copy the images it's using for the background somewhere else? That seems odd.
    So, in the end what I'm asking is "Is there a safe way to remove images from whatever image folder the desktop image rotator is using?"
    It may or may not be worth noting that while describing this, I've managed to lock up my dock. The top menus still work, but alt-tabbing around doesn't.

    do you see ANY of your files when you look at the desktop? if yes control-click anywhere on the desktop and select 'arrange by kind'. this will reshuffle your desktop icons. see if the files you are missing become visible. they may have been placed offscreen somewhere.

  • Registering with the forum

    So which moron decided to use multi character captchas that are unreadable by human eye before a user could register. I lost count of the number of times I had to enter my password!!!!!! And yes, I am MAD

    I'm not sure what you want us to say. The moderation team doesn't work for either Lenovo or LithiumTech whose platform the forum runs on.
    FWIW, I'm not a spring chicken either, and my eyesight is not up to reading captchas easily either. But better that than dealing with the metric ton of spam bots that not having it would cause.

  • How can i use 3(or more) hdmi monitors with the new Mac Pro(2013)?

    I've been looking around, trying to find a solution to this problem.
    I saw at one place that an active thunderbold -> DVI will work with the older mac pro model.
    Will this work with the new one as well?
    Will i be able to connect 3 screens if i use 2 passive thunderbold->hdmi and one
    active thunderbold->dvi and then a dvi->hdmi?

    If you need to buy Apple's $99 Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapters you may find you need to return and replace the adapter/s till you find one that works.
    Recently, after my nMP arrived I bought two adapters. It took 3 trips to the Apple store to find a second one that worked properly. This also happened a few months ago when I was buying those adapters.
    You should be aware that you'll also need the DVI cable that has the full set of pins, not the one with the row in the middle missing.
    If you check on the Apple customer reviews in the online store you'lll find the issues and possible solutions to this situation.
    Eventually I returned the second adapter when I found a way to get 2560 x 1600 through the HDMI port. I now have two 30" monitors that display 2560 x 1600.

    Sometimes, I tried to respond to a topic or post a new topic;
