I used to champion these forums. Now I don't give a gnat's...

I was a contributor, a corrector, a clarifier.
I'd write 1,500 words explaining every possible angle on the simplest of topics, sometimes revealing tricks to people who have far more experience with Photoshop than I do. I exercised painstaking detail in choosing the proper terminology and phrasing when answering questions, and I'd test everything to make sure what I posted was correct. I was an obsessive re-editor of my posts if I noticed the wording was wrong, or didn't flow well. I'd craft screen shot composites so clean you couldn't tell they weren't monitor images that could occur natively. I added arrows, and numbering, and translucent, colored-box paragraph backgrounds for descriptors, colors chosen for the best clarity I could muster. I'd bodge together difficult GIF animations and QT Movies if it would help a user understand a concept more completely.
I was a defender, a protector, an evangelist.
I took it personally when newbies and spammers would come in and muck the place up. I was sometimes brusque, other times gentle in trying to bring people into line with how to get the most out of their time here. I beat up on troublemakers ruthlessly, and without remorse.
I brought the "How to Get Help Quickly" mantra to this forum after reading it elsewhere, because it was the best exposition I'd ever seen on the subject of efficient information exchange.
I'd take the time to help troubleshoot forum problems.
Now, I don't give a crap about what happens to this place. I'd been hoping for the best, as I had during past attempts at major forum changes.
It's clear to me now that the planning, preparation, roll-out and fine tuning has been doomed from the start.
Every single person involved in ramming this new system through is to blame.
And I'm only one person. I'd guess there are hundreds of people who feel the same way I do.
Too bad, Adobe. You totally and completely screwed up.
I'll still visit once in awhile, because there are people here that I like.
But as for all that content I was giving away for free—and happily, I might add—and all the cheerleading I did for this place?
You can shove all that right up that gnat's arse and then go sit on your own thumbs and spin.
It feels to me like you are intentionally doing almost everything in your power to discourage the type of participation I used to revel in. From slow bug fixes and promises unkept (EFF you very much, Jive–shysters) to the mere trickle of ongoing feedback and update info offhandedly tossed to us, Adobe have become slumlords, slapping paint on a building that fails to meet standard-of-living code. Sure, there are some decent new features, but they either don't work, work only part of the time, are cumbersome, and generally regarded as so slow as to inhibit any sort of lively momentum.
I'd be ashamed and embarrassed to be the captain of this rotting ship. As a fully vested, ranking mate on this vessel, I hereby resign my commission.
You don't deserve my help anymore.

Phos, although I am answering your opening message, I'm not really addressing this message to you, but to everyone.
Almost exactly a month ago, I accepted the first important job I have been offered in more that two years. I did although it had a 30 days deadline and I knew it was very difficult, if not impossible, to complete it in that time. Well, I did manage to finish it not long ago, and one of the first things I did was to come back to my once beloved forums, full of hope of being met with some important changes introduced in these 30 days.
I am sorry to say that, so far, I have noticed only these two changes:
1. The "Report spam..." link in the stickies now points to the correct thread, not to a locked one, something I had been asking for weeks before this 30 days interlude; and
2. The problem for which I offered a suggestion in this post
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1968406#1968406
and which had received a very good solution as I reported two days later, is back here. Plus, the "Next" button doesn't work (I don't remember if it worked before the change that was reverted).
As this forum is full of so many easy to fix complaints, seeing only these two changes in 30 days -one of which can hardly be called an improvement- was really very discouraging. However, what really got me down was reading the opening post of this thread.
Those who haven't followed Phos' trajectory in these forums may think that he is making false pretences, or at least exagerating, about his contributions to these forums. I am one of those who can testify that he is doing neither.
To make it short: over these so many years trying to give whatever modest help I'm capable of in the Acrobat and Reader forums, I lost count of the times I asked Phos, somewhat jokingly, to please leave the easy questions for me to answer. Each time I saw a just published easy one, I rushed to try to answer it, only to find he had done a much better job than my attempt, and had replied a several other more recent questions in the meantime. He showed an infinite patience to answer the same questions over and over again, which I admired because I don't have it and just refered the questioner to the appropriate FAQ instead -when I did manage to post before he did.
And he did everything else he writes in his OP, never boasting about what he did and accomplished. That's why I am sorry he had to do it now, I imagine that in an attempt to put some weight to his words. Not for us, of course, but for those responsible for this unbelievably large fiasco they have so stubbornly refused to acknowledge. And we used to call a fiasco the previous one, which was nothing compared with this mess, and which was rectified!
I am afraid that I am feeling my age, and so I'm finding that the enormous effort that too many very capable users have being putting in suggestions to improve these new forums, since the last "little fiasco" until now, to be such an gigantic waste, that I also don't feel like continuing. Had I not had this 30 days interlude with no noticeable changes, I would probably have continued by inertia for much longer, hopefully waiting for the improvements that never come, but this has opened my eyes. However, just logging in, or moving from one forum to another, is so excruciatingly slow that I find I simply do not have enough time to waste in just waiting for things to happen.
I will miss the group spirit of the old forums, and the many persons I got to know and like and care for, although knowing that I would never meet them. But then, I am missing more of them everyday and, after all, such is life.
Just a final thought. It is most probably true that JC has spent this week in the moutains. I would be happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I would say his presence has hardly been noticed, if at all, for quite a lot longer than a week. Another one of those many not at all encouraging signs.

I downloaded the Adobe free trial to convert a PDF to Word and it will not open. Further, even though I have signed in, it reverts back to the sign in page over and over and over again. How do I to convert?

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...

Home page is set to signed in pages but subsequent firefox sessions don't remember and require signing in again

All of my home pages are set to already signed in pages - gmail, AOL, Facebook, and Linkedin. On subsequent Firefox sessions, I'm required to log in to these pages again - Why?
This does not happen with Google Chrome.

Do you have the FastStart extension?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

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?

Verizon Sign-In Page

Anybody know why the weather at the top of the sign-in page frequently changes to New York and I have to repeatedly change it to my zip code number?
Holly

You could be signed out. The next time you see it say New York, look to see if it has your name in the upper right hand corner of the website or does it say Sign-in?

OpenDNS and these forums

I've been using OpenDNS for a few months now, and ever since I started using it, multiple times per day when I'm on these forums, Safari will spin its wheels for a minute and then an OpenDNS error page will come up. If I just hit the back button and then click the same link a second time, it'll load just fine.
Is anyone else seeing this sort of thing? Is it a problem with OpenDNS or with the forums?

Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Wikipedia also has an interesting article about Open DNS:

These Forums Make IE Navigation go SLOW

I am not talking about going to new forum pages, or to a link in a page
I am talking about navigation within IE itself
When I first start IE (have to use Internet Explorer due to work support policy) I can click the Favorites link at the top and my list of saved links appears INSTANTLY
As soon as I go to any of these Adobe forums, IE slows to a crawl and there is a noticeable lag between click on Favorites and the drop down list showing
Whatever script is running at these Adobe forums is evidently taking up a LOT of computer cycles... enough to make IE's internal navigation run slow
It is really too bad that the webx software could not keep up with the message volume and had to be replaced (per a FAQ note before the change)
I really don't care (much) about the new format... but the scripting to MAKE that new format seems to be using up a lot of computer time

Phos says much the same thing here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/426384?tstart=0
For everything to work, scripting must be active
With scripting active, the forum is SLOW
Since that seems to just be part of what Jive is doing, I don't think these forums are ever going to get any faster

Pse 12 sign-in page problem

pse 12 installed, and regestered. Launched 12, problem with Sign-in. internet on line, clock agrees with local time. cannot get past sign-in.

I have the same (or very similar) problem. I have the
MSDN library bookmarked and if I need to research something before replying in the forum, I will open a new tab and go to the bookmarked page. For the last week or so, I have been redirected to the sign in page and if I enter my password, I am forwarded
to to page I had bookmarked.
I am using Chrome as my browser on Windows 7 64-bit, but I just tried with IE 11 and had the same problem.
[Edit]
I will e-mail fissues as you suggest.
Me too! Both Chrome and IE11. For some reason I think being asked to log on is temporal.

Hotmail sign in page stays blank. Every other web site loads ok.

The hotmail " sign in " page stays blank. All other web sites i go to load just fine. My security settings are set to "permanent private browsing mode" I have emptied cookies, the cache, have even tried safe mode, nothing seems to work. Previous versions of firefox have same problem. This is a NEW problem since firefox 4 upgrade. I have to use IE to access my email account which is really annoying. Can anyone help? It IS a firefox related problem because IE works just fine.

Finally figured this one out. Thanks to everyone who answers questions in this forum. After looking at all kinds of similar troubles finally found out what was wrong. IT WASN'T A FIREFOX PROBLEM. I had to adjust the date and time ( right click on the bottom right of the screen on the time, select: adjust date/time and , well adjust the time or date. ) It fixed everything including the warnings I used to get that the site I was visiting was not to be trusted. Thanks to everyone. Keep up the good work.

Sign in page for website in development

I was wondering if ADDT could be used to create a blank sign in page for a website beta for clients to sign in without the rest of the world seeing it...

Paul,
That should be fairly easy to do using ADDT's User Login Server Behaviors. You can configure the Login Settings at the ADDT Control Panel. There are a lot of options and I use these behaviors often.
Günter has a nice tutorial called "Login tables:
installation & configuration"
http://www.guenter-schenk.com/tutorials/
So you would create a page with the user login and that would redirect your user to the website beta file/folder on a successful login.
You would also use the "Restrict Access To Page" ADDT User Login Server Behavior. This will make sure others can't get to your pages by typing in the URL directy into the browser. The only drawback here is that all your pages would need to be .php and not .html
Another option is to use your web hosting control panel to restrict access to a folder on your site that contains your website beta. This would be the easiest because you would not have to add code to all the pages to restrict access. Your server would require a username and password when someone goes to that address(example: www.mysite.com/websitebeta).
Unfortunately, the ability to do this depends on your hosting package, so you would need to check that in your hosting control panel. The drawback here might be that you would have to give everyone the same username and password to use. Otherwise you have to add lots of users to your server hosting directy and that might be an issue.
If you use ADDT's user login behaviors, you can gather lots of information about the users activity in your user login stats table. Also, if your website is going to have user accounts anyways, this would be the way to go.
If you just want a simple login to showoff a website, I would give everyone the same user/pass and try to restrict access to a folder using your hosting's control panel. That would much simpler for this scenario.

Has etiquette in these forums worsened? Or is it just me?

Hey,
So it's been about a year since I've been at these forums. I've been working on something non-java related for a while.
But anyway, I was just browsing over the posts and noticed that the level of etiquette is lower than what it was.
I'm seeing a lot more arguments or unrelated discussions going on in someone's question thread.
I just read over a student post who posted a simple legitimate question about operator precedence. And the responses were so over-the-top arrogant. And then two posters started discussing and arguing over something completely unrelated on the OP's thread!
I remember a year ago, that arrogance in these forums was VERY rare, and not tolerated by anyone. Under-researched questions or commonly asked questions were responded to with a link to a relevant page, or a few terms that the OP could look for. Nothing more was needed.
And if the attitude of the OP doesn't appeal to someone, they just ignored it.
Has it always been this bad? or is it just me?

PS: And what happened to the Watercooler forum?

I am sorry but you are wrong. This is not the way it was a year ago, or five years ago or eight years ago.
Has it always been this bad? or is it just me?In some ways things are better. Less Goldie for one thing.
In other ways things are worse. Look at this thread http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5176699&start=0&tstart=0
I would say it's fairly typical to have several of these a day.
Here's another example from this week http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5176013
I mean. Come on. Vague questions. Lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy people with no clue seeking "teh codes". It's not surprising to me that there's off-topic chatter in some threads when this is the quality of so many of the questions.
But it isn't just getting worse here, it's getting worse everywhere. More and more lazy nitwits think the answers to much of life's problems can be found for free on the internet without their having to work one iota to actually learn or do anything.
-Cuppo
PS: And what happened to the Watercooler forum?You've been gone longer than a year I guess. Sun axed the water cooler (aka the forum that shall not be named although the thought police are less active then they used to be) around 2002.
