No more NNTP for Adobe Forums

I just learned that Adobe has discontinued NNTP (Newsreader/Newsgroup) access to these forums. I only found out because I couldn't connect via NNTP and came here to the 'general' forum to register a problem ... which turned out to be 'a feature'.
I'm afraid that I won't be coming by here as often, if at all. Going to a website to see if there's any activity is a PITA compared to the NNTP alternative, where the group name just sits there among others and gets highlighted when there's new activity. I posted some more detailed objections (aka whined) in the general forum.

Yes, it is unfortunate that the NNTP access is not available anymore. However, Adobe was put in a position where it was absolutely necessary to migrate from the previous service provider for the forums (the old forums and for that matter the new forums) are hosted outside of Adobe itself using third party software. For better or worse, most of the newer on-line forum software packages simply don't support NNTP anymore.
An alternative that I use (and did use with the old forums) was e-mail subscriptions to particular forums or threads providing e-mails of each new discussion and response. Yes, that results in many short e-mails in my in-box, but with appropriate rules applied, I can sort through them easily.

  • Greasemonkey script for Adobe forums (for Firefox)

    Found a great little Greasemonkey script for making the forums a little more readable. It shows/hides the Actions panel on the right side of the screen to give more real estate to the messages.
    If you don't have Greasemonkey installed you can get it here:

  • Which is more important for Adobe CS6 and FCX on imac? Processor or Graphics Card?

    Hi, I want to get the new 27" imac when it comes out this December. It will be my first mac although I have both an iPhone and iPad. I'm and artist and aspiring filmmaker and want to run Adobe CS6 and Final Cut Pro on it. I'm looking at the highest 27" but have limited funds for additional upgrades. Apart from RAM, what would i be better off upgrading on the imac? Going from the i5 to the i7? or going for the GTX 680mx Graphics card with 2gb of memory? or going for the 1TB Fusion drive? If you could only pick one or possibly 2, which would be the best to choose for video and graphics on the programs I mentioned? (I'm not into gaming, so performance on that front is of no concern to me)

    I don't have CS6...
    1) I would max out the video card. FCP X and Motion 5 uses the GPU over the CPU for processing power. Once you buy your new iMac you can't upgrade this...
    2) FCP X and Motion 5 will use all the ram you can throw at it. I have 16 GB of ram and both programs at times uses all 16 GB of ram. I really should bump up my ram to 32 GB. I would say 16 GB is the minimum for video.
    3) The processor would be last on my list. Computers are really fast even with an i5 processor. Once you buy your new iMac you can't upgrade this...
    This is the iMac I bought last year:
    27" iMc mid-2011
    3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
    16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
    2TB Serial ATA Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive
    AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5

  • Which mac is more appropriate for adobe software using

    I have to buy a new computer for a internship. I need one which is enough powerful to support the use of several adobe softwares (photoshop, dreamweaver, final cut pro, indesign, flash and illustrator).
    I have also a small budget, about 1000 euros. Is a 13 inches enough?

    If you are going to be doing graphics-intensive tasks, do NOT select the 13" models. The video infrastructure has shared video memory, meaning that the main RAM is used for everything, including the screen framebuffers, and the GPU and CPU have to battle it out for access to it.  The 15" and 17' models have dedicated VRAM and separate access busses, which translates to much snappier video response.
    There are two options you can explore for reducing costs: ensuring that you get the educational discount if offered in your country and seeing if your country's Apple Stores have refurbished units for sale. Might not be cutting edge, but you might get a Mid 2010 15" for a good price, for example. Plus you also get the standard warranty and the option to extend it with AppleCare.

  • Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
    YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

  • Question about  Graphics Cards for Adobe and more

    Hello, for technical people I'll start by listing some relevant computer info:    Asus P9x79Pro Motherboard . Nvidia Quadro 4000 2GB . Windows 7 . Adobe CS6
    I have a workstation PC and have been considering ways to improve it. I'm pretty happy with both Memory and Processor, so now I'm looking at the Graphics Card. I got the Quadro specifically because it was listed on Premiere's list of Mercury Accelerated Playback cards. I have no real issues with it, but I'm wondering if I'm getting everything I can out of it. I also use Resolve often and occasionally Maya, but not often. Sometimes these other programs feel sluggish. I'd like a set up that is most optimal for Adobe PPro and AE, but is also good for Resolve. I'm less worries about Maya.
    My motherboard can support 4 GPU's, but I've never had more than 1 before. I'm curious how to go about it.  What sort of advantages will I get with a second GPU, how will this help me? Since I have a Quadro, should I get another Quadro? Should I run them SLI or run them independently? I've also been looking at the GTX Series, would those be preferable? If so, how should I set up my system, run monitors off 1 and use the other as a GPU boost? I really don't know enough about multi-GPU set ups, and I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for, so any and all help is appreciated.
    Thank you

  • Forum support for Adobe Reader

    Hi. I have Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3 installed on a Windows OS. It's a nice program, in most respects, and lately it seems to be improving too.  However, it is creating one very annoying problem for me. Every single time I start it up to read a pdf file, it wants to connect to the internet. This should not be happening because I have not configured it for doing so.  In the menu item Edit, Prefences, Updater, I have selected the option "Do not download or install updates automatically." Also, since I have my firewall configured not to allow this action, I have to now deliberately stop what I am doing and click on buttons to deny the internet connection. To say that this is annoying, is, well, a gross understatement.  How can I prevent it from recurring? Thanks.
    Wouldn't it be swell if there were an option, while making a post on this forum, to be notified by email whenever I got a response. Jim dandy swell, I think, and efficient. 

    Pat, I got an answer this morning. Not sure if you saw it because I don't see it posted here for some reason.  This is the answer:
    Re: forum support for Adobe Reader
    created by Nikhil.Gupta in Adobe Reader - View the full discussion
    The request being sent to the akamai server, (even when the Reader updater setting is turned OFF) is for updating the Adobe Approved Trust List (http://www.adobe.com/security/approved-trust-list.html).
    The Adobe Approved Trust List is a program that allows millions of users around the world to create digital signatures that are trusted whenever the signed document is opened in Adobe® Acrobat® or Reader® software. Essentially, both Acrobat and Reader have been programmed to reach out to a web page to periodically download a list of trusted "root" digital certificates.
    If you want you can specifically turn off the auto update functionality for the same by navigating to Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager from within the Reader application. Look under the "Automatic Updates" section and you can change the setting as required or chose for the application to ask before updating the root certificates.

  • Is there an nntp server for these forums?

    Hi,
    I prefer to read posts to forums through my newsreader rather than through the web interface. Is there an nntp server for these forums that will allow me to do that?

  • Adobe Forum...more weirdness

    I start computer.
    Open an Adobe Forum link.
    Not logged in - despite stay logged in!
    Use Sign in Link
    It automatically logs and signs me in  without any entry input on my part.
    Weird!
    Behaviour started since creating a new Password.

    Adobe's looking into it. Behind the scenes we've been trying to establish which configurations are working and why some people can stay logged in while others cannot. So far, the conclusion is "hmm... dunnno". I'm on Firefox and can't stay logged in at all, but someone else with the same setup hasn't been logged out at all.
    Choosing 'remember me' on the single-sign-on (SSO) page will set cookies for the main adobe.com domain, and those appear to be persisting OK for everyone. It's the equivalent cookies to preserve your Jive session on forums.adobe.com that are problematic; that's why when you click to "Sign In" the SSO page autocompletes without your input.

  • Is there a forum or additional documentation for Adobe Flex Connector for MS SQL Server?

    Is there a forum or additional documentation for Adobe Flex Connector for MS SQL Server?  I am having problems getting it to work.  Also it states that it is Flash Builder 4 certified but the code is all in halo (<mx:Application ...).  I followed the documentation in the included PDF to no avail.  I am looking for additional documentation - e.g.:  a)  where exactly (which directory on the SQL Server) to store the "fas_mssql_connector.asp" file;  b) how to code the URL to the  "fas_mssql_connector.asp";  c) wondering if the product is really Flex 4 certified.  Thanks for any help (especially pointers to additional documenation).

    I do have exactly the same questions. SO far the fas_mssql_connector.asp file is placed at the 'wwwroot' folder of the 'inetpub' folder of the IIS server. As hostname I use '[MyServer]' since it should run on the same machine and username and password are correct.
    The fas_MSsql_Clean file is setup in a way that the name of the database is specified and the url to the asp file is set as: http://[MyServer]/fas_mssql_connector.asp
    My SQL query looks like this:
    private function getDbData():void
        mssqlQuery("Select * from Tomat", "getDataO3");
    And the MXML document like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
        <mx:Script source="Actionscript/MSsql.as"/>
        <mx:Script source="Actionscript/SqlQueries.as"/>
        <mx:DataGrid x="148" y="95" id="dgData">
            <mx:columns>
                <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1" dataField="col1"/>
                <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 2" dataField="col2"/>
                <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 3" dataField="col3"/>
            </mx:columns>
        </mx:DataGrid>
        <mx:Button x="148" y="264" label="Get data" id="btnGet" click="getDbData()"/>
    </mx:Application>
    However the application is busy for a long time and I do not receive a single piece of data. Any help with this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Does anybody work for adobe in here

    does anybody work for adobe in here or does adobe hope that
    software users will do there job for them like many companies
    do,they sell a product and let people go out and spend more
    cash on books and stuff to learn it(Which makes these companies
    more money by you buying these books) cause every help forum i have
    seen no company member excauly helps people but only people who
    have bought the sofware. so i wracken let adobe get off there
    a.r.s.e and spend time going through forums and really helping
    people with there problem but that would cost money and companies
    dont spend money they only like to make it

    > There's nothing wrong with them
    1. From time to time, they do not synchronize posts in from
    the NNTP
    forums, so we (here) are left shouting into the wind "NO NO
    NO DON'T DO
    THAT!"
    2. The interface between the two mangles (and then truncates)
    pasted code,
    so that it's impossible to decipher, and with a long post,
    it's just not
    usable.
    3. The paste link function doesn't pass across the interface
    *at all* - so
    that's why you often see us asking for a link to the page
    even when the OP
    says "I did already".
    4. The EDIT post function doesn't propate those edits to the
    NNTP side,
    frequently leading to rampant confusion.
    5. Question answered option doesn't work for NNTP.
    6. The page refreshes are very slow, sometimes interminably
    so.
    7. The interface is busy to the point of significant user
    confusion.
    But other than that they are fine... 8(

    we all suffer with them....
