New Forum Design

Hi OTN,
May I suggest that all new posts be defaulted to a "Question", since most of the posts are questions. If it is not then that's the time you give us 15 minutes to change it to something else.
Thank you for your consideration.
Bob

Yes, William I guess you missed it.
In the upgraded version of forum, OP can choose to post his thread as 'Question' or regular discussion. For Question thread, OP can later on mark the question as answered and assign 10 pst to one correct answer post and 5 pst to two helpful posts. The idea is when you post your question as 'Question' you have pst which will make people more likely to reply and answer it.
Frankly I am not a big fun of point system, it's just going to create a lot of whining like why he get pst while I didn't, I posted the correct answer first etc..

  • NEW FORUM DESIGN: Post Feedback Here

    Posting everything in one place will allow Comcast to better monitor what feedback is given.

     andyross Member Since: ‎10-17-2003 Posts: 3,647 HORRIBLE Forum updateShare Topic Options Subscribe to this discussion  Are you deliberately trying to make the forums so hideous that nobody will use them? The subject text is so tiny, I can barely see it, plus it's virtually impossible to see the difference between read and unread. The subject listings have a huge amount of wasted space between them. You could double the number of on-screen lists (or shorten the scrolling) if you cut it down. There used to be a link on the right that would take me back to the Bookmarks page (what I use as a home page for these forums.) No easy way to get back there that I can see, other than directly from my browser bookmark. At least the text entry seems to properly work with Firefox.   Posted on :‎03-09-2015 05:22 PM    Kudos  0ReplyFollow Options      ResponsesReply     Posted byWelcome_to_Post Member Since: ‎07-02-2003 Posts: 5,381   *sigh*  Happens every.  Single.

Posts are no longer numbered. About the only things that are good are that the toolbar features when replying now work with SeaMonkey and Firefox and other browsers AND the default font size seen when composing a reply is big enough to easily see instead of being teeny tiny as it was before. Yippee!!! No more nose prints on the screen when trying to see what I was composing.
    Comcast employees must be authorized to post in the forum in an official capacity. Employees posting here have their names in red and are designated as employees. Names not in red are customers. This is done to protect customers and for assurance that they are dealing with a Comcast employee.
    Non-Authorized Employees are allowed to post but cannot state they are employees nor can they allude to being employees.  Posted on :‎03-09-2015 06:40 PM    Kudos  0ReplyFollow Options        Posted byQueen-Evie Member Since: ‎02-04-2004 Posts: 14,621   Do me a favor.

  • TERRIBLE new forum design...

    What is it with these guys??!!
    The previous discussions board was intuitive and easy to navigate, it was a pleasure to communicate with other FCP users around the world...
    The new design is a huge pain in the arse, lacks information, is full of amateurish glitches, and makes me feel like i'm wasting my time.
    Pah!
    'If it ain't broke... don't fix it...'

    Looks to me like they have gone back in time. If you showed both formats to anyone, 99.9% would say that the old format was the new & improved. The .1% would be the people that came up with this design!
    "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

  • What's wrong with the new forum design.

    Thought I'd kick off the list here.
    1. O.P. can award a correct answer to themselves.
    2. Status stays hidden unless checked, making it hard on both newbies and those trying to help them
    3. No advanced search (that I can find) I've given up even trying to look, and users aren't even aware of it
    4. Difficult to see what you have or haven't replied to
    5. Can't see very far back in the threads
    6. Huge waste of space on useless quote bubbles
    7. Trying to edit your own settings takes you round in circles
    8. Where is the forum how-to and guide?
    9. Absurd to ask users to search without a suggested list to work from, the Pages iPad users are constantly landing in the wrong forum
    10. I hate the default of sending email advisories and Safari messages of answers in the forum. My Mail Inbox is inundated and I am getting constant pop-ups interrupting my work on my Mac.
    …many more but I'd like to let others add to the list
    BTW I give 2 thumbs up to the improved post formatting options, but that was a long overdue catch up to other forums.

    Don't have time to answer all of this, but here's a start...
    1. O.P. can award a correct answer to themselves.
    Useful when they've come up with the correct answer themselves. (OPs can't award themselves points, though.)
    3. No advanced search (that I can find)
    https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa (or click the blue Search button in the top right of any page without entering any text in the search field)
    4. Difficult to see what you have or haven't replied to
    The equivalent of My Posts is here:
    8. Where is the forum how-to and guide?
    https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/index.html
    10. I hate the default of sending email advisories and Safari messages of answers in the forum. My Mail Inbox is inundated and I am getting constant pop-ups interrupting my work on my Mac.

  • Is The New Forum Design In Transition?

    I've got to say, the forum just feels broken as it is.
    And I'm not just talking about little formatting glitches needing cleaning up.  I'm talking about the fairly significant number of features that have gone missing, such as listing who a reply is to, listing the post and points counts, etc.
    More broken than it did.
    My question is this: 
    Is what we see what we're going to get, or are we in transition to something better?

    Yes, and yes!
    Thanks, Dave - I guess.  It's the terminology that bothers me I think...  This is not just a "re-skin".
    "Skin" implies colors, shapes, sizes - but not functionality.
    This recent change is therefore more than a "re-skin" of the old forum.  I have to say, I don't mind the colors and layout - it's usable.  And I understand the need for modernization, though I didn't see a real need to change the look before getting the functionality working better.
    We seem to have entered the era of UI simplification.  Not long ago someone somewhere came up with the term "cognitive overload", which always seemed like a backhanded way of saying "most folks are too stupid to deal with a lot of stuff on the screen at once", and so everyone began simplifying their user interfaces.  Hell, Microsoft even stopped making their Windows OS actually do windows.  Kind of a slap in the face to people who yearn for more and bigger monitors just so they can get more stuff up there for use "at a glance".
    I urge everyone to think of the derivation of Albert Einstein's immortal comment:
    "Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler."

  • The New Card Design for the Barclays Ring.

    I’m here to announce that the new card design has been finalized and it will be ready for new cardmembers in late July and existing cardmembers beginning in October. Here’s a quick recap of the very fun and innovative process that we went through together to co-create the next Barclaycard Ring card.
    In 2014 we asked cardmembers in an open forum to describe what they liked and didn’t like about the design of their current Barclaycard Ring card. We received hundreds of comments and passed them along to our design team.
    This resulted in the following plastic designs
    Option 1.pngOption 2.png Option 3.png
    Incorporating your feedback, the designers created a three dimensional view of the card designs, which we posted in the forum for more feedback. This round resulted in four unique plastic designs that were presented for an official vote.
    Voting results.jpg
    The winner, with 42% of the voting Ring cardmembers, was card design #1. We also noticed cardmember feedback regarding concerns about the font choice for the most popular card design. We took this feedback to the design team and they presented four more options to the internal team. We picked one and now it was time to see how these designs looked in reality. About 10 weeks later we got a “proof”, or an example of what the card would actually look like. And I will tell you that it did not look good. Luckily, one of the designers went out to visit the card production vendor. They worked with the design and the production process to get as close as possible to the original design.
    And here it is:
    C11_card_rRGB_RingMC_EMV.png
    We hope you like it! Thanks to everyone who voiced their opinion and helped to shape the new design. And, yes, it is a chip card. (Interested in learning more about the Chip and Signature with PIN enabled technology? Click here for additional details.)
    So who will get the new plastic and when?
    Starting in October 2015 cardmembers who made at least one purchase in 2014 will automatically receive the new plastic in the mail. Your credit card number and the security code on the back will not change. However, if your expiration date is within a 3 year window, your new card will have a new expiration date. So you will need to remember to update any recurring billers, online merchants or digital wallets with the new date. Your old card will still be valid until sometime in early 2016.
    Cardmembers who did not use the card to make a purchase in 2014 or became Barclaycard Ring cardmembers in 2015 will not be automatically re-issued the new card design. If you’d like the new card (with Chip technology), you can call the number on the back of your current Ring card after August 1st and request the new card design. Otherwise, you can wait until your current card expires and you will automatically receive the new card in the mail. We may also choose to automatically re-issue the cards in the future to cardmembers who still have the original orange card.
    I hope all of that helps. Of course if you have any questions just leave it in the comments below. Thanks again for participating in the design of the new Barclaycard Ring card!

    I'm apart of that community and I was shocked to see that this is all they could come up with. In todays market with the different plastics available this to me is very quaint. Not appealing and to think they had a committee and designers and all that... it's truely disappointing!

  • New Forum FAQ

    This is a work in progress and will be re-formatted soon into individual Question/Answers in an FAQ subforum.
    Can I over write the forums style sheets to change the layout?
    Yes, Please see this discussion of scripts that can help you change your view of the Forums: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/294008?tstart=30
    How can I see the interface in Japanese, French, German, Spanish, or Simplified Chinese?
    In order to see pages in these languages, you can click the Region links at the top of page (where it lists a country name and says “Change”), choose your region and language from the pop-up menu. Click on "Remember this choice" under the menu.
    Why do some older messages appear with parentheses around user names?
    For a three-month period before our new forums were launched, we encouraged users to go through an account migration process to associate their former User to User forum IDs with their Adobe ID. Accounts with the parentheses are from those users who had content in the old Adobe User to User Forums, but who have not yet signed into the new system. The parentheses were added to these account names so they could be imported into the new system without clashing with screen names associated with Adobe IDs.
    Once a user logs in with that account in the new system the parentheses will go away.
    How do I participate in  the Adobe Online Forums via email?
    Visit the forum you wish to participate in and click on the link to "Receive email notifications". You will start receiving new messages posted in that forum. You can reply to the messages directly from your email or you can click on a link in the message to come back to the forum.
    Can I start a new discussion topic via email?
    Yes. Once you have subscribed to a forum you can click on the “Your Stuff” link in the forums, click on “Mailing Lists” and find a "Create Discussion" email link for each forum you are subscribed to. Copy the full email address (it may wrap onto two lines) into your email client's address book and send new discussions to this address.
    Can I include a file attachment via email?
    You can include a file attachment in an email that starts a new forum discussion, but you cannot attach a file to an email reply to an existing discussion.
    How do I stop receiving  email notifications from the Adobe Forums?
    To discontinue receiving thread subscription updates, you can change your  personal settings in the web-based forums. To do this, login to the Adobe Forums by visiting http://forums.adobe.com/ and click on "Login".
    Once you've logged in  with your Adobe ID and password, click the menu item labeled "Your Stuff" and select "Profile". Select the "Email Notifications" tab,  check the threads for which you would no longer like to receive subscription  updates and click "Remove Selected Notifications."
    How do I prevent myself from being automatically subscribed to threads I post messages in?
    Go to the Your Stuff link in the User Bar, click on Preferences, and uncheck the to radio buttons for subscribing to threads you create and threads you reply to.
    How do I embed an image or a video in a forum message?
    When posting a message in the Forums there are two buttons in the Rich Text  Editor to include a video or an image file in the message.
    For video, click on the clapboard button/icon then select the video site and  enter the Video URL or embed code and click Insert.
    For an image, click on the camera button/icon then select the appropriate tab (From Your Computer, Uploaded Images, or From the web) and follow the onscreen instructions.
    What if I want to link to an image on an external site, such as Pixentral or Flickr, instead of uploading the image to the Forum server?
    Flickr's Terms of Service state that if you post an image hosted on Flickr on another site you have to link back to the image page on Flickr. To do that you  need to go to your image on Flickr, click on the All Sizes link above the image,  select the size image you want, then Copy the HTML code from the first box of code underneath the image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on  the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This will open a frame  within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Flickr  site. Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message”  to post the message to the forum system.
    For Pixentral images, you will need to go to http://www.pixentral.com and upload your image following the instructions there. You do NOT have to check the box to make images public. Once your image is uploaded there copy the HTML code from the box below your image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on  the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This wil open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Pixentral site. Please note that there is an extra "/" character in the Pixentral URL that will prevent the image from showing up, so you need to make one change to the HTML that you copied from the Pixentral site. The beginning of the HTML code  will look something like this:
    <a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd"/>
    Please remove the forward slash that appears between the quotes and the greater  than symbol so that this part of the HTML code looks like this:
    <a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd">
    Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to  post the message to the forum system.
    Can I attach a file to a forum message?
    Yes. Each message in the Forums can have up to three files attached. Each file cannot exceed 5MB. These numbers are subject to change.
    To attach a file, create a new forum message as usual and then click on the “Browse” button below the Rich Text Editor box to select a file from your computer.
    Are forum messages presented in Threaded or Flat order?
    The Forum messages can be presented in either Threaded or Flat order. This  can be set in your forum Preferences. Click on the “Your Stuff” link and select “Preferences”. The first setting on that page is for how you want to see the messages.
    In Flat mode, each message posted in the Forum will appear directly below and in line with the message posted before it. You will be able to view the discussion as if it were a live discussion with each person taking a turn in successive order.
    In Threaded mode, each message will be posted below the message it is direct reply to and will be indented. This makes it easier to follow sidebar or sub-discussions, but can make it more difficult to follow a long conversation.
    When you are reading messages in a forum, you can select to reply to the original message or to any of the replies to that original message.
    How do I edit a message that I have posted in the Forum?
    After you have posted a message you will find an “Edit” link at the bottom of the message. Click on the link to open the message editor and make your changes. The edit feature is good for fixing a typo or a link. But if you have extensive changes to make to your message we suggest that you post a new reply to your message instead of editing the original message. Editing is not available if someone has replied to your message. At that point, you have to add a new reply to the thread with the updated information.
    How do I delete a message that I have posted in the Forum?
    You can delete a message you have posted if there have been no replies. Once someone has replied the Delete option goes away.
    How do I send a forum message to a friend?
    While reading a message in the Forums, you can send a link to the discussion to someone outside the forum system by clicking on the "Send as email" link in the Actions panel. You can select user names from the system or email addresses of people outside the system and they will be sent a link to the forum. The actual message is not included in the email. The recipient will need to click on the link in the message to view the contents.
    How do I report an abusive post in the Forums?
    When viewing messages in the Forum you will find a "Report Abuse" link in the Actions panel on the right side for the original message and you will also find an individual “Report Abuse” link listed for each reply to the original message. Click on the link to send a report.
    How do I upload an Avatar for my Forum account?
    To upload a custom avatar for use in the Adobe Forums you must first create a 128x128 (max size) image file.
    Then log into the Forums and click on “Your Stuff” and select “Profile”
    Click on “Change avatar” in the Actions panel on the right side of the screen.
    Scroll down to the “Upload Avatar” section and click “Browse” to find the avatar file on your system, then click “Upload”.
    Once you avatar file is uploaded, it has to be approved by an administrator (this might take several hours to several days). Until it is approved it will be marked as "pending." Once the pending notification is gone, you can select that avatar and click “Save Settings”.
    How do I upload an image for my profile page?
    Log into the Forums and click on “Your Stuff” and select “Profile”.

    How do I access Private Messages?
    The Private Message feature is located under the “Your Stuff” link.
    If you have a private message waiting for you in the forum the “Your Stuff” link will be orange.
    Click on the “Your Stuff” and select “Private Messages” from the drop down menu.
    From there, you will be able to read incoming messages, create new messages, and manage old messages.
    You can also manage an Address Book and sort messages into folders.
    Can I attach a file to a Private Message?
    No. But you can include a link to an image or a video.
    How many Private Messages can I have?
    40 (subject to change)
    Can I subscribe to a feed from the Forums?
    Yes, you can get an RSS feed from various parts of the forums: Announcements, Discussions, and you can even subscribe to an individual user by going to their profile (click on their name or avatar any place in the forums) and getting the feed link from there. You can also get a feed of your private message inbox.
    Some messages have odd linebreaks and random characters in them, such as lines that start with B or I that don't seem to make sense.
    The Adobe Online Forums is a new system that has data imported from two previous systems. One of the previous systems had its own message formatting codes, such as B for Bold and I for Italic. These codes import into the new system as plain text and lead to the formatting issue that you might run across on old messages.
    I marked a reply to my question as the correct answer, but then discovered that it was not correct. Can I remove the Marked as Answered setting?
    No, you can only set this for one reply and it cannot be removed. Please post a follow up message in the discussion thread with updated information, such as a clarification or rebuttal to the marked answer.
    I am not clear on the points system in the Forums. Will I get points for simply posting questions or replying to questions?
    No. Points are not given for simply posting a question or a reply. Points are awarded by the person who started a discussion. They can mark a reply to their question as either The Answer or as Helpful. They can mark one “Correct” answer and two “Helpful” answers per discussion thread.
    I've clicked to edit my profile and now I'm lost. I can't get back to the discussion I was viewing.
    Use the History link in the user bar.
    Is there an alternative to the Rich Text Editor?
    Yes, if you are comfortable with some basic HTML, you can click on the “HTML” link in the upper right corner of the Full Editor to switch to an HTML editor. If you use the HTML editor you need to remember to put in <p> and <br> tags between paragraphs, otherwise the HTML editor will remove extraneous white space (including carriage returns) in your message.
    How can I Jump the last message in a thread?
    Click on the XX minutes ago link in the list of threads to go to the latest message instead of to the first message.
    How do I change my name or screen name?
    At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Edit the desired information on this page and click “Update”.
    How do I change my email address?
    At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Your Adobe ID/email is listed here, and you need to click on the “Change” button. Enter your email address, your password, and click “Update”. Note that your email address is also your Adobe ID which you use to login, so if you change your email address, you will also need to login using the new email address.
    How do I change my password?
    At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Your password is displayed as a series of asterisks (*****). Click the “Change” button. You will need to enter your current password, your new password, and a password hint. Click on the “Update” button to save your changes.

    @ adobe-admin (J.C.?):
    Thanks for fixing the "backslash" error. Accuracy is important, and doubly so when presented as an F.A.Q.
    The sad thing is how prevalent the usage of "backslash" is when a plain old slash is meant (generally, the "forward" attribute is assumed and unneeded), and by people who should know better. It's a direct result of people knowing just barely enough about the Windows file path naming protocols, and then applying the only terminology they're familiar with incorrectly to URLs.
    I went about 10 rounds—TWICE!—with a labyrinthian succession of people at the Discovery & History cable TV networks because they were saying "backslash" in voice overs whenever their commercials promoted their websites. It took some doing, but I finally got in touch with somebody who was savvy enough to recognize that it was a rookie mistake made by a clueless marketing copywriter. The voice over person just read the copy they were given, oblivious to the difference. It amazes me that it wasn't caught by somebody early in the recording/production process and rectified.
    They then had it correct for about a year, until new commercials started popping up with the same error. Unfortunately, the person I had talked to previously no longer worked for the History channel and I had to go through the process of finding someone who understood all over again.
    Yeah, you can call me a nitpicker with nothing better to do.
    But I've earned that dang badge, and I wear it proudly!

  • Spell Check in New Forums- How The Heck does it work?

    Can somebody please tell me how the spell check works in this new forum format? I click on the abc icon and it does nothing. I do a two finger click on a word that is misspelled and it give me Insert Options. I really like the new format but hate the spell check. Can anyone offer advise? Thanks.

    The built-in ASC spell checker is -- to put it kindly -- quirky. First, you must turn it on using the 'abc' tool on the right in the editor toolbar. (When it's on, it highlights.) But it won't stay turned on if you click on the tool before you enter any text -- it will just tell you that no misspellings were found & won't stay on. It also sometimes fails to check the last word if followed by a space. You can tell it to ignore misspellings, but you can't tell it to learn words because the spell-checking dictionary is actually on the servers running the site, not on your Mac or PC.
    But from your remarks, you probably aren't even using the built-in checker. Instead, I suspect you are trying to use the far superior system-wide one built into OS X. The problem with that is the ASC editing tools are powered by Javascript supplied by the Jive SBS software running the site. Because that is platform independent it doesn't know anything about OS X's contextual menu (which includes suggestions for misspellings, the Dictionary lookup, & so on).
    So to make a long story short, what happens when you try to right click on a word the OS X checker has underlined in red, instead you get the Javascript's response to a right click, which brings up the editor's insert/alignment popup menu instead of the OS X contextual menu.
    The solution is to control click on the word -- believe it or not, within the ASC editor window a right click & a control click are not the same thing! You literally have to hold down the control key on the keyboard when you click to bypass the Javascript's right click response.
    To make things that much more confusing, this only applies if the pointer is not over empty space in the editor window, which in this case excludes lines that have any text on them, including invisible text like spaces or returns. (To see what I mean, drag the tab at the bottom right of the editor window down so there is a lot of empty space below what you have typed. In this empty area, right & control clicks both bring up the OS X contextual menu, but anywhere in the text you have typed, they behave differently.)
    In short, the problem is not that Apple has changed how the buttons or clicks work, it is that the new software that runs the site (not developed by Apple) does.
    Hope this helps.

  • Getting help with the new forum software

    Searching for some help I located the Jive 6.0 community user help and thought I could share this information.
    http://docs.jivesoftware.com/jive/6.0/community_user/index.jsp
    It provides explanations and examples and seems to be useful.
    For instance, what does threaded and flat mean in the Profile preferences?
    Type "flat view" in the search field to get the answer.
    How to use the editor?
    Search for "content editor".
    etc, etc.

    Thanks, Dude for this.
    Just in addition, from a previous discussion it has been said this new forum runs on Jive 5.0.5.
    And you can actually check it out, open the source code of the current page, you'll see a lot of 5.0.5 references, such as
    window._jive_resource_url = prepareUrl("/5.0.5/")
    kjs.load('/5.0.5/resources/scripts/gen/8955a433291e9fdcf40ae92adce79aae.js', [ ]);
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/5.0.5/styles/jive.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
       <link rel="stylesheet" href="/5.0.5/styles/jive-icons.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
    etc.

  • New forum not very user friendly (to me anyway!)

    I may be missing the obvious.  If anyone can post some pointer on how to use this new forum, I'd be greatful.  Issues I have are:
    1)  I can't seem to tell which threads have new posts since my last visit.  Some say "updated" after the title, but some which should be updated according to when the last post was don't say so, and vice versa.
    2)  Is there a way to get directly to the unread posts without having to go through the thread from the top?
    3)  Is there a way to navigate to other posts without having to return to the top of the thread?
    These are just a few problems I'm having so far.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    the only thing I found remotely better, was the ability to upload jpg and screenshots... but the rest leaves a lot to be desired.
    For example, when scrolling through the 50 or so posts on one page -> Then you press next -> next -> next page until you're at page 19... and find a post that seems exciting at the headline, you click it, and read it and find that "naaah, it wasn't about what I thought it was..." then you go back...
    and voila!
    You end up at page one again!!!!! Havin to klick - perhaps - 19 times next until you get to the next page, if you hade the abilitly to remember on what page that last post where... I mean, c'mon. Adobe.... ?! This huge giant have such lame forum technology?

  • How do we request a new forum?

    I'd like to request a new forum for discussing programming on the iPhone. Now that the SDK came out, I'm sure that there's going to be a LOT of traffic on that. It would be nice to keep it all in one place.
    How do we go about making that happen?

    The current developer forums are here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=164
    Apple also has mailing lists related to development:

  • Can I start a new forum?

    I would like to establish a new forum called RBAC/SOD/ACM. We would use this forum to discuss Enterprise Oracle Application Controls Solutions using Role Based Access Control (RBAC), Segregation of Duties (SOD) and Applications Controls Monitoring (ACM). We will also use this forum to identify potential role candidates for RBAC.
    You could include this forum in the E-Business Suite. The Application Controls Solutions are implemented using Oracle User Management and Oracle System Administration for RBAC, and Oracle Internal Controls Manager (OICM) for SOD and ACM.
