Most of the problems in these forums here...

Besides all the incorrect/bad English, is lack of information of which version
Forms/Reports are being run.
And even when you do ask, you still don't get a response.

Hi,
I agree with ThrashZone, delete the temp files as well as some browser history, cookies, form data, Internet Options\General\Delete...
Reset IE if possible if the above doesn't work.
Sometimes, too much traffic on your internet connection can also cause this kind issue when loading the website

HEHE!
Hope this helps some others too. I had ''played'' a little bit with the Advanced settings of IE11. The setting that restored my ability to Reply and Quote in these forums here, is this:
Enable DOM Storage
I just checked it back, and here I am!

The font on these forums looks terrible

The font on these forums and many other parts of the Adobe.com site look terrible on my computer. This is on Windows XP, and I tried it on all the big browsers, and they all look like this:
(Click the image to see it actual size..)

We know there are some combinations of browser and OS that break the anti-aliasing system - early versions of Chrome and remote desktop installations both have problems.
This is a known problem? So that means you would rather use a web font that looks pretty much like any other commonly available font for most people, knowing that for others it is a pain to read. It doesn't seem worthwhile. You end up with a font that is marginally (if at all) "better" for most people, and much worse for the rest.

Please reply with details of your system configuration.
You can blame my system configuration, and if other sites looked this bad on my browser I would agree. But the rest of the internet does not look like this, as far as I've seen, so I don't think of it as my problem. I suppose this makes me sound stubborn, but consider the user experience; I'm browsing the internet, everything looks fine, then I get to your site and it looks bad. And I'm supposed to think something is wrong with my computer?

Problem with these forums

I don't know that this is necessarily a Safari issue, but I wasn't sure where to post it. I've got an odd display problem on these forums. When I click the My Posts link, I see odd formatting problems if one of my posts included a link or a smiley in the first few lines. Take a look at the screen shot below for an example:
!http://web.mac.com/thomasareed/forum_issue.png!
If I look at the source for this, it looks like the href attribute for the link gets cut off and is not properly closed, meaning that everything until the width="1%" attribute on the td for the next post's number is lost.
I've also noticed a couple times where one page of posts will end with a number like 28 and the next page picks up with 30, but where was 29? I suspect it's probably related to the above problem.
Is anyone else seeing this? I find it hard to believe that Apple would have left a problem like this for as long as I've been seeing this, yet I am not sure what other possible explanations there could be. Any ideas? If it's a forum bug, how do I report that? I can't find any way.
Thanks in advance!

Dear Oracle: PLEASE improve the SEARCH on these forums!!!

Subject: Dear Oracle: PLEASE improve the SEARCH on these forums!!!
I have been getting frustrated using the search on these forums. I find the content very useful (especially as I cannot seem to find any other forums for Oracle Portal) but the search facility is very poor.
Firstly, the Search will on search for an exact match in the body of the messages, not the subject at all! This is very annoying as people usually sum-up there question in the subject and often do not repeat the subject in the message.
Secondly, the search looks for exact matches of your search string, so searching for more than one word become difficult. Bascially, it does only an exact match, not a word search, so forget about using keywords to search on as you would do in every other search engine and be very carful of the order of your words, you'll get a completly different set of results by swaping the order of your words... :(
eg. Selecting "ALL FORUMS", try searching for "Customizing Change Password Page". no hits? ok try "Customizing Password" still no hits? ok try "Customizing the Password". still no hits? ok just try "customizing". You get 10 Pages of 20 (Oracle conviently puts them over 10 pages so you cannot view them all on a html page and do your own secondary search using CTRL-F). Well, this is too many, lets just try "Change Password". again 20 x 10+ pages. At least this time we've got some that also have the work customizing in the subject. If only we got here on the first search... Don't even think of adding the word "PDK" or "Example" to your search...
I have already provided feedback to Oracle on this matter (and am still waiting for a reply). If you would also like the search improved, please also send Oracle some feedback and make this forum more useful. If enough people pester them they might think it's important enought to change. link below:
http://otn.oracle.com/contact/htdocs/feedback.htm
Cheers,
Tim.
P.S. In the meantime, does anyone know of any other good Portal forums?

Couldn't agree more, if only the search was as good as on Metalink...

In These Forums Here, I Cannot Reply Or Quote

HAHA!
Now, I cannot Reply or Quote on my own posts. So, I can only see your solutions for this post here. I cannot Reply or Quote.
I am using latest IE 11 with latest updates just today.
I think that I have all settings correct. I am using for the Security tab, and Internet, the Default setting. I double checked, and when I press the Custom level... button, under Scripting, Active Scripting is Enabled. Also, other sites that require
Javascript, are working normally. Like GMail for example, or another Windows site, that has the same:
javascript:void(0)

So, what do I do now?

Do the users on these Forums know?

Do the users on these Forums know that you can click on their user name and see a list of all their postings? Try it some time and then tell me how much your worried about the supposed issues some of them are complaining about. All they're doing is detracting from the ability of the communities to help with legitimate problems of the users who are not just trying to stir up trouble withfictious problems.

excellent observation. When I first started, new members like yourself couldn't report posts, but I have heard that you can now. If you see them (and can report them), report them as trolls and the mods will help clear out the kruft...

I have the problem described in /forums/knowledge-base-articles/704725. (Firefox is already running but not responding). My only solution is to use Task Manager to end the firerfox process. I am the only user and there are no other profiles on my system

Occasionally I have the problem discussed in /forums/knowledge-base-articles/704725 , Firefox is already running. My only fix is to use Task Manager to end the firefox process. At such tmes, I have no other instances running.

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

When round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

Auto-Login into these forums here possible ? Enabling by cookie ?

I would appreciate if there is an auto-login into these forums from Oracle.
Currently every time I re-visit the forum pages I have to type in my login+passwd again.
Usually in hundreds of other forums there is an auto-login option selectable.
Could enable this forum feature?

Is it possible to make the text in these forum webpages darker?

Thanks.

Something I do that helps readability is block the site use.typekit.com by an entry in my hosts file:
0.0.0.0 use.typekit.com
This causes the web page to avoid using the prescribed Adobe font and fall back to using Arial. Here's what it looks like at 150% browser zoom, which is what I perceive is what you have set, up above...
It also may make things load faster, since the adobe-clean web font doesn't get downloaded. The downside is that you don't see things precisely the way the Adobe marketeers intended. In this case it may be a Good Thing.

TS1967 I followed all the steps in this and it mostly worked, the problem was the library is missing the last 3 and a half months of music adds and ratings. Is there any way to get them back?

Seriously this kind of *****. I have lots of music and freaked when it was all gone and I'm still freaking that I have to find the last 3 and a half months of music and rate it all over again. What can I do?
When I plugged my iPod in it said there was songs on the iPod not in the library and I clicked the option to add them to my library but it didn't seem to work.

check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

Can Anyone tell me the problems of iphone 5

Hello
Can Anyone one tell me the problems in iphone 5 when released and what have been fixed ?
Thanks In Advance.

Nope. No problems with my iPhone 5 or the other two my family use.
Most of the posts to these forums are from people having problems which the majority of users do not experience.

I had to uninstall firefox since it was causing so many problems with my computer. I was using the latest version 18. What is the problem?

I have had nothing but problems since I installed the latest version of Firefox version 18. It hangs up my computer no matter what I am doing. Even if I am not using the browser. I uninstalled it three times and the problems just seemed to be getting worse. I finally uninstalled it and did not reinstall it again. I am not going to use it again until the problems are fixed. I also don't know what funmoods is or whatever it is that replaced my google home page. I don't like software deciding what services I should use. I have been a firefox user for over 15 years. I have never had problems like this before. I have switched to Safari. It works without interfering with the other tasks I am doing on my computer. I don't know what version 18 did but the previous version of firefox I was using was perfectly fine. I had no problems whatsoever with it. It appears as if this version was not sufficiently tested. Also my daughter is having the same problems with her computer and they all started with the new version. So it isn't just me. At least give us the option of going back to the previous version and asking us if we want to upgrade when a new one comes out. However, I have never had these problems in the past with any version of firefox I installed. I like the features of firefox but cannot afford to keep rebooting my computer. It seems that firefox gets hung up and then hangs the computer up and I can't do anything else even if I am not using it. It seems to stay on in the background and hang everything up. Please fix this.

It most definitely is the browser that is causing most of the problems. I have used Firefox so long, I can't even remember. Maybe since its beginning. But today is a sad day. I gave up on it. I can't accomplish anything and end up spending hours troubleshooting. I see I am not alone. I am so sick of it "not responding." It's simply not worth it to spend so much time trying to make the thing work, so I can actually do something. Installed, removed, reinstalled numerous times, and I can't fix your software on my Win 7 Pro machine. No problems with IE or Chrome. So. as much as I hate Google Update, Chrome has won the test. Sad, sad day for me to lose Firefox, but it just does not work on the Win 7 machine. I don't have the same issues with the XP machine and have exactly all the same add-ons. Keep it up developers and you will have no Win 7 users at all.
