Something funny in the ACR forum

This lot is at the top of the list:

John,
I have observed similar in several of the Premiere fora today, August 07, 2010. A lot of 1 - 2 year old threads are at the top of the list, and none have had a reply in that time - nothing more recent than 1 year ago. None is showing up as "Updated," and just at the top of the thread list.
Something is not right, and it seems to have come about since 11:00PM PDT August 06, 2010, when I logged-off.
One of the most prolific posters to those fora, Harm Millaard, just lost his profile, in the same time period, though that might not be related in any way.

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,,

This is how the forum looks for me.
But during around midnight, (gmt +8) the forum changes to this

Something is wrong with the Xserve forum

Hey Guys,
For some reason other questions are landing in the xserve forum with the title HT1349
Any idea on this?
Do the forums have a support email?
https://discussions.apple.com/community/servers_enterprise_software/xserve_and_s ervers

Only the Hosts have such ability; none of us users can move, delete nor edit posts. I've asked the Hosts to clean up the forum if and when they have time. They do try to keep an eye on such things, but there are very few Hosts and thousands of posts to have to sift through.
Regards.

Allow the user to control the width of the edit forum post input box

I would like to control the width of of the edit-forum post input box. This could be:
automatically adjust the width of the box so that the box doesn't run off the right edge of the window.
have a user global preference to set the preferred width
at least, allow the user to change the width via the change size icon. The three horizontal bars at the lower left of the input box. You can adjust the vertical dimension, but not the horizontal. TenFourFox 4.0.1. This is probably being blocked for some obscure reason.
Here is an example of an over extended right margin:
Curiously enough, the "software" let's me adjust the width & height of the add reason to edit text, but not adjust the width of the more important edit text box.
Robert

Testing
Standard Reply box can be height adjusted but not width.
Same with Advanced Editor
No Adjustment at all in HTL Editor
Edit.
The Edit uses the Advanced Editor
Only Height Adjustment again.
I do seem to remember someone posting about the width and saying they could drag it over the edge of the right hand edge (Into the grey surround)
This may have been a post in the lounge.
It didn't actually try it at the time but have played with it since and have not seen it.
Maybe it is something they "Fixed" in both senses of the word.
Second edit.
I can't alter the box that currently reads "Message Edited by:- ..."
I also can't get this box to accept New lines (they appear in the box but don't post that way)

Are the Technet forums getting .... s...l...o.....w.......e........r......?

Just wondering if it's my laptop, the client I'm at, or ... Oracle?
I suspect it's not me or my client as I still get other work related answers very quickly (you know ... weather.com, jokes.com, hotmail, yahoo - you know ... work stuff!).
I can understand it slowing down in the afternoon, but it seems to be crawling all day now for the last week or so?
Are they using an IBM DB2 database or something?
Russ

Thx. Michael.
Glad I'm not the only one seeing it.
It reminds me of when I had a 'paid' Hotmail account a long time ago. The free one I had went much faster than the paid one, and the reason for this apparently was that the server where my paid subscription was - for whatever reason - was getting hammered more. So, you can imagine, the paid one was cancelled by me.
Just hope the Disco forum in not on a slow (or hammered) server.

How do you find what you posted to the support forum?

Last night I posted a question about Firefox being unable to load certain https URLs, but now I can't find it. I would like to be able to find it to see if anyone has made any helpful replies. In the forum settings, I have the following checkboxes:
Watch forum threads I start:
Watch forum threads I comment in:
Watch KB discussion threads I start:
Watch KB discussion threads I comment in:
Send emails for private messages:
All of the above settings are checked, but I can't find where in the interface for these forums I should go to view the threads and comments that I am "watching."
I will bookmark this present support topic so that I can return to it later.
thank you for any help you can provide!

ha ha ha oh my god...
okay, thank you for the help... I see what the problem is... this web site's UI has a shortcoming...
this URL:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/home
appears to be the home page of the forums... but it is not....
the home page of the forums is buried in a link off to the side in a list labeled "For Contributors"... I mean... by seeking help in the forums, I'm now a "contributor"? ehhh... English... It'd be nice if the UI designers would use it...
the home page to the forums is found via this URL:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
See... whoever named that URL had the right idea... instead of
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/contributors , the person used:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions
hmmm.... now if the heading on the right said:
"For people with questions"
then I would have scanned it more closely, and I would have noticed "Support Forum Home" in the list.
I think the fact that so many people use Firefox is really a testament to how bad the other software out there really is, not to how good the Firefox stuff is or how responsive the firefox people are... E.g. is anyone going to actually learn from my above experience, and make the support forums easier to find?
Is anyone going to actually put a link to the forums in the dashboard for the account that is used to log into the forums?
No, not a chance...
I mean, yes, I get that the link to the forums home page is always in the footer at the right, but come on, for crying out loud... so are stupid advertisements... it's a footer or side bar or whatever you want to call it... people are trained on a subconscious level, by now, to ignore that crap. If you were going to design a forum, would you take the most important links, and put them off to the side, where they are less likely to be noticed?
This is what I see when I bring up my dashboard:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/630258
I mean, if you are a small time developer, with a few thousand users, you probably don't have the time or the resources to make something that's optimal... but when you have millions upon millions of users... optimizing your interface might be worth looking into.... you know... auditing the performance and effectiveness of your UI now and again might be a good idea... You take the few minutes that you waste a user with a confusing counter-intuitive non-standards-based interface, and you multiply that by millions of users, and what can I say... that's a *lot* of waste.
You don't even have an index of forum content... everything is found by searching... Imagine if you walked into a library, and they had NO catalog.. Instead, all books just tossed into a database, and the only way to find anything is by searching. That would be... just incredibly stupid.... That is what this forum interface is.

Tell us here what changes you want to see in the SpeedGrade forum.

Welcome to the new SpeedGrade user-to-user forum.
We're just getting started here, so there are very likely things that we'll need to add or change to make this forum as useful as it can be for you. Let us know what changes you'd like to see.
Content from the previous IRIDAS SpeedGrade forum has not been ported to this new forum.
If there is content from that forum that you would like to see made available, let us know, and we'll see what we can do.

I think we need subsections for the "old" legacy products, pretty much like the old forum was organized.
I understand that this forum is now the official end user forum, right?
We are also interested in seeing a beta forum as well (as we currently see it with other Adobe apps) so we can participate there as well. Please take notice
I am sure that is a LOT of useful information in the old forums. Maybe there is a way of having that old content get consolidated in terms of digest PDF for "new" users to use search within. I don't think it makes a lot of sense to let one dig through thousands of text entries manually to find the useful information, especially as much of this changed over time as "work in progress". Tipps from 2 years ago may be completely useless now with newer tools, and so on. So I vote for pumping out the old content into a PDF or something, so we have that all "at hand". Honestly, as we long term users didn't know of the deal before it happened, all that information was apparently gone before we could "safe it" for our own purposes. Thats what I am looking for right now.
That PDF could be linked in a sticky closed thread like "IRIDAS User Forum content until September 2011" or similar. Just an idea.
Good luck with the forum!
Cheers,
Axel

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."

Navigating the Captivate forum

There appears to be no link back to the main Captivate forum category page from within an internal forum/post page. The breadcrumbs don't get there. As far as I can tell, one must go all the way back to the general Adobe forum center, then re-enter the main Captivate forum page. Am I missing something?

Here's some more info...
It appears that the same breadcrumb name behaves differently depending on which page you're on.
For example, if I'm starting on this topic page, the breadcrumbs are:
Adobe Forums > Adobe Captivate > Adobe Captivate > Discussions
The first "Adobe Captivate" link (http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_captivate) leads to the main Captivate category page. This is as expected.
If I click the "Discussions" link, I am taken to this page: http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_captivate/adobe_captivate_general?view=discussions , which has similiarly named breadcrumbs:
Adobe Forums > Adobe Captivate > Adobe Captivate
But the links are different. Now the first "Adobe Captivate" link URL is http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_captivate?view=discussions, which is not the Captivate category page, but rather an aggregate of various Community Help posts.
It appears that Adobe is mixing up the regular "Forum" pages with the "Community" pages. Both use the word "community" in their URLs, which makes it even more confusing. (To be honest, I can't quite understand why there are both Forum and Community areas, and it appears Adobe is confused by them too).

Can't paste onto the new forum...

For some reason I can't paste anything into the new forum, which is rather annoying since typing out log files is a bit tedious. Anyone know how to fix this?

Don't know, do you get any errors? Perhaps you can't paste because you didn't copy something first? How old is your keyboard?
I do know that your question probably will end up here:

Old threads from last years appear in the iPad forum

When viewing the iPad forum on the iPad old threads from last year populate the threads listings. I used different browsers on the iPad besides Safari (both logged in and out) and it still happens. I haven't tried using Safari on OSX . Can someone please check this out using the iPad and OSX to see if they are experiencing the same thing. This started happening yesterday...

+Watch the movie CATCH 22 for the definition of what normal means... there isn't any.+
I will try to find it; your comment made me curious enough to google and now I know why no one has ever referred to me as being "normal".....
+Definitions of normal on the Web:+
+* conforming with or constituting a norm or standard or level or type or social norm; not abnormal; "serve wine at normal room temperature"; "normal diplomatic relations"; "normal working hours"; "normal word order"; "normal curiosity"; "the normal course of events"+
+* in accordance with scientific laws+
+* +*being approximately average or within certain limits in e.g. intelligence and development;*+ "a perfectly normal child"; "of normal intelligence"; "the most normal person I've ever met"+
+* convention: something regarded as a normative example; "the convention of not naming the main character"; "violence is the rule not the exception"; "his formula for impressing visitors"+
+* forming a right angle+

Love the new forums... but

love the new forums... but hate the performance. Keep in mind my internet connection is 20MB/S download speed, there are times the pages wont even finish loading and you have to stop and reload again and/or very slow loading times. Of course, there are times the performance is as expected, but rarely. I hope Adobe plans to support the forums with better hosting.

As an od adage says: "Don't feel like the Lone Ranger".
which means everyone and his , brother, sister, Aunts, Uncles, mothers's and Father, and cousins on the Acrobat forums are complaing about the Speed.
There is really we as Users of the Forums can do about it other than complain and hope adobe will do something about it when they get finished with their easter holiday. Maybe that will be before their 4th of July vacation.

Can't open old iWeb domain file (yes, I have asked in the other forum!)

I had to wipe my MacBook hard drive and reinstall my data and OSX. Having tried to restore my iWeb domain file from Time Machine, I find I am unable to open it. (I've asked this question in the iWeb forum but was eventually directed here.) I've tried seemingly everything, including changing the file's permissions, wiping iWeb preferences, creating a new domain, deleting it and replacing it with the old one. Still I'm told iWeb can't open the file.
Could it be corrupted? It's probably relevant that it was created under a different account (I had to create a new one when I wiped the disk) and I believe iWeb doesn't like opening domains created by "another" user.
Any help much appreciated. It's important because I am applying for a new job and my online folio -- aka my iWeb website -- is not up-to-date, which looks very strange.

I have to confess, I was hoping someone with more knowledge about iWeb's Domain file would chime in. Evidently not, though.
Let's try something else. Run the following two commands in the Terminal (paste them in, only one at a time, and hit return after each one):
ls -al ~/Library/Application\ Support/iWeb
ls -al ~/Library/Application\ Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
Then paste the output here. Here's what I get:

What Has Happened to the LightRoom Forum

What happened to the LightRoom forum. I have not got any emails from the LightRoom forum in the past 2 days.
Tunney

My monitor profile has nothing to do with having LightRoom messages delivered to my computer as per the past. However, my monitor is profiled once a month and is just fine. I cannot imagine the monitor profile having anything to do with the forum messages not being delivered to my 27 inch iMac, as per the past. For the record;, I have received two replies to my question as forum mail but have not viewed or received any other discussions that are taking place in the LightRoom forum. Is there a reason why??
All LightRoom forum mail would be delivered to my iMac, but for some reason, they are no longer being sent to me. I really thought there was something wrong with the forum itself.
