To Adobe : Please add point system to this forum like SAP forum

Adding point system to this forum will encourage and
recognize people who is doing good work in this forum.
Add positive and negative point system.
SDN SAP forum is using point system effectively.
It shows who got maximum point this week, who got maximum
point this month, till today who got maximum points.
Points are give by people who ask questions based on correct
answer. If answer is correct, 1 point is awarded.
wrong answer and arrogant answer -1 point.
We need to recognize people who help others. This will be a
good start to make this forum interesting and user friendly.

Dude wrote:
As far as I understand, the suggestion to get rid of the point system means that there is a problem with people giving bad answers and participating just for the sake of collecting points, and that the overall quality of the forum would improve if there was no scoring system.
I think this is wrong for the following simple reasons:
It takes too much effort to gather the necessary points to eventually create any level of visibility. People who are just after points will loose interest when they realize how difficult it is to get points. It simply does not pay off.
There is no such formula which shows that people who enjoy the scoring system provides bad answers and those who do not provide good answers. I find such ideas discriminating and lobbying.
People have individual motives why they actively participate in the forum. Removing the scoring system will most likely not only affect the desired group of people. It might suit those who think their contributions to the forums are underrated and undermined and hence removing the scoring system removes the evidence.
To my experience, the likeliness of bad answers and possible wrong judgements based on the perceived status of a person may depend on the forum topics and is no real problem. Last not least, there is usually an option to outline wrong answers or judgement, regardless of the scoring system.Your passion towards this community is admirable, and I certainly wouldn't want to alienate those who both enjoy the scoring system and helping others. If it's really that important to some of the experts around here, then perhaps you are right. But, since the issue does seem to be polarized among others that have been around as long as yourself, it seems that the answer is really not so clear-cut. We'll probably just have to agree to disagree on this one.
I marked your response as helpful. ;)

Please add your experience to this thread: LR V1 vs LR V2- on YOUR system

Just out of curiosity sake...would people mind putting a few thoughts here as to their upgrade experience. PLEASE NO posts about speed issues, or arguing over system specs etc etc...there are already plenty of those threads here.
Instead what I am asking is for people to simply answer the following questions, no more no less. So if you like to participate please keep the posts simple. I am hoping this will provide some idea to those of us who have yet to upgrade as to what we can expect. Thanks for helping..
1) What OS, ie Windows or Mac (XP or Vista, What Mac OS version)
2) Processor type (cores and speed)
3) Ram (amount and speed if you know it)
4) Main working Hard drive (internal, external-& connection here- And speed ie 7200, 10,000, striped raid...etc)
5) Average # of images in library
6) In you subjective opinion would you say that LR V1.x ran:
a) Adequate
b) Good
c) Screaming fast
d) Slooow
7) Since upgrading to V2 on your CURRENT system how would you rate LR V2 vs your experience in V1? Please use the above a-d answers
8 ) After your experience with question #7, did you upgrade your system? If so what did you do and how did it affect your perception of speed in LR V2? Again using the above a-d answers
Thanks again. I know this is not scientific, nor does it address all the possible variables. But it will give us an idea as to how LR V2 MAY run on our systems when compared to V1

1.Xp-sp3
2. 2G Amd Athlon 64
3. 2456 Mb memory
4. Internal 7200
5. images +- 1700mb (new cataloque for Aug.)
6. V1.4 -good, but would lock up on export once a week
7.a)initially good -first two days after install
b)uninstalled v1.4 and v2 went from sloooow to very bad.
c.Today Aug-Registry clear out of anything 'Lightroom',Moved any folder connected to Lightroom off the hard drive except current cataloque, UNINSTALLED V2. shut down computer-rebooted.
d. Reinstalled V2, redid preferences, opened current cataloque, redid a develop preset EVERYTHING is working WELL! Local adjustments now usable.
8.No changes to computer. Should have cleared out old Lightroom stuff before installing V2

Dear Adobe - Please add the following...

Flash CS4 was a nice upgrade.
One thing you forgot to build into it (something I have always dreamed of) is framerate/timeline updating. An example: Let's say you have an old file your updating. As part of that update you want to change the framerate from 12 to 30. When you change the framerate, everything on the timeline stays the same. I work in the e-learning business. I have narration on my timeline with timed animations. When you change from 12 to 30 fps, you have to keep in mind this extends any existing narration and animations that goes with it. Unfortunately Flash does not automatically update this for you.
So after the FPS change, I now have to physically extend the timeline out until my narration reaches it's ending point. If there are animations (or even actionscripted keyframes) that are timed up with that narration (in most cases there are), I then have to scroll back through the timeline, grab those animated key frames, and move them to the spot where it matches with the narration. And listening to narration over and over sucks for the most part.
Imagine having to do this to 300 files... or even 1000+ files. If Flash were capable of updating the timeline according to any changes in the framerate (FPS), I would save me, and many more people, hours and even days of painstaking, tedious, methodical work.
Dear Adobe. On the next Flash upgrade could you please make my dreams come true.
Sincerely,
Jon

We do watch the forums, at least I do (and I know I'm not the only one). I can't read everything, but I do watch for and read threads where I might be able to help about my feature, if it's a bug, or it's an enhancement request. (as such, clear subject lines are important!) That said, the wishform linked previously is the best place to send such requests and bug reports because you can know for certain someone is monitoring everything that's sent in. It's more reliable than forums that are a mix of everything as it's specifically for bugs and enhancement requests.
And regarding this particular request about the Timeline, it is something already filed in our bugbase, discussed with a developer, and hopefully something we can offer in the future.
Thanks!
Jen.

[Consolidation-Locked] Please add RAW support for the Nikon D600 to Lightroom as soon as possible!

My Fair Adobe,
Please add RAW support for the Nikon D600 to Lightroom as soon as possible!
ViewNX lets me get to the images, but come on!!! I know Lightroom, and you, ViewNX, are no Lightroom.
Yes, I see everyone else ASKING for D600 support. I'm here to beg for it! Don't make me wait much longer!

Rob, my reading of your site is that this plug-in copies settings from raw to jpeg, does it work the other way around as well?
Rob Cole wrote:
One of the great things about the new 0-based defaults and linear tone curve is:
You can develop the jpegs now, in Lightroom, and then sync the settings to the raws later (e.g. using RawPlusJpeg), and provided you select a matching camera profile, they will look almost the same (white balance won't translate over, but everything else will, more or less). Beware lens corrections applied to the raws might alter the registration of precision local adjustments.
Note: I recommend shooting with ADL off in order for this to work better, and consider turning sharpening off in camera as well, and noise reduction and everything else to whatever extent is possible.

Points System Design Flaws

I'm not here for points, and was here before the points system was enacted, and would certainly still be here if it were gone tomorrow, but what's the point of having them if they're hardly used?
It is very difficult to achieve even 10 points a day in my opinion, (which is reasonable for forum members to level up in a fair amount of time). I usually come to these forums every day, mostly to post, sometimes merely to read. However, on average days when I completely answer or help users with problems, there will be no response from such users, and especially not a thread marked as "solved" or a post marked as "helpful". This is typical from the majority of those helped here, which are one time forum users. It's pretty difficult to fix this problem, but there are other things that could be done to aid this.
Since the new system has been started, I can count the number of green stars next to one of my posts on one hand, literally. I usually make more than just a few posts a day as well. Look, I'm not trying to be stingy or greedy about points, but there's obviously a flaw regarding user interaction with the point system.
This could simply be solved by simple logic. An OP who asks a question should HAVE to answer the following each time in order to post a reply: "Has this been solved?" and furthermore specifically "By Who?", while giving the user a choice of those in the thread only.
I can't tell you the amount of "solved" threads I've seen where the person who should receive credit for solving the problem is never given points simply because the user isn't using the specific buttons on the post to specify that their question was answered, but on the reply form, which won't allow the user to choose a post from. The result, it's solved, but supposedly by no one.
Again, I'm not all about the points, but It's illogical to have a system that is so seldom used, and at times when it is, usually not accurately.
The key points here are that most people asking questions don't understand the idea of the point system. They needn't understand the idea of a point system as long as interface design is exercised properly.

Hello Brian,
You're right, and this question has been thoroughly raised in every aspect, from the beginning in November 2005, and then some other times once in a while.
Although a nice and fun way to support the general wonderful sense of community, and a nice way to "feel thankful" together too, we all know that gaining points is not our main concern, and that there would be as much participation without, but
you're right again, if we are to use them, then they need to work as intended.
Now where I disagree with you:
"An OP [...] should HAVE to..."
In my opinion an OP should feel at ease, as much as possible, and not, like many constantly advise,
feel yet again the same kind of complication/clumsiness/heaviness feeling (s)he experiences in filling administrative or boring banking forms...
As you rightly said, OPs do not (and should not) know/learn everything about some complicated steps, just when entering a technical forum for the first(s) time(s),
especially as they are at the moment in the state of mind of a newbie who additionally is in a troubleshooting panic...
In my opinion,
the solution should come from us, and the mods, not from the OPs.
And the solution is simple:
- a reintroduction of a level of awarding by peers.
Since we already know how perverted the voting system had become, I'd suggest a very limited possibility of awarding posts when not an OP: like for example only three or five "Helpful" per day.
Software fixes priorities:
- Now that it works better, the Points system is more easily criticizable, but the fix is not anymore so urgent in the list of fixes.
I'm sure it is still there though.
Be patient and enjoy your participation!
Regards,
Axl

Adobe Reader on MSFT System 7

All Adobe Files and all jpeg images can no longer be scrolled up and down like they were on previous platforms. Instead, there is a magnifier,(- .... +) which blows the extreme top and bottom as well as the left and right off the screen.
Is there any way to scroll these Images?

I still don't know if you are viewing local or online PDF files, and in what browser if online.
I do not have any problems scrolling both local or online PDF files on Windows 7, so I do not quite understand what is going on. Can you post a screenshot? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

Hi Tracy,
Have you changed something on your SharePoint 2007 environment recently before this issue occurred?
This issue may be related to Alternate Access Mappings settings like the following similar post, if you have configured AAM, you can check if this issue happened to some URLs, if it's the case, please add the problematic URLs as a Publish URLs for the default
zone for your web application, and also add these URLs as trusted locations, then check results again.
If above doesn't work, please enable ULS log on verbose level to get more useful log errors which time are corresponding to the errors occur.

Add Site System Roles (Management Point)

To resolve an issue I was having with the management point role I have removed it.
I left it for an hour and then restarted the server and the role had been removed. When I tried to re-add the role the option is greyed out. I believe this is due to the Server being the primary site but am finding it hard to get any definitive answer on
how to re-add the role.
Currently my site has no management point.
My question is HOW DO I RE-ADD THE ROLE OF "MANAGEMENT POINT"?
Will the configuration management setup wizard allow me to do this, whilst retaining the current roles and config?

I thought it was a permissions issue at first to. Signed into the server with the service account used to install SCCM and also explicitly named my domain account as a local admin despite me being a domain admin. Furthermore, I have access to remove the
roles from the server and permission to add and remove roles to all other servers.
Adding role
In management console Administration>Site Configuration>Servers and Site System Roles
This bring up the list of servers and when left clicked their roles. I right click on the server in question and the option to "add site system roles" is greyed out as are the sub-options under start and the option to delete.
Will screen shot in the morning

After posting my concern/question, especially in regards to the optical drive, I read this on this forum:
Jul 11, 2011 5:21 AM
I would like to update my macbook pro from Tiger to Snow Leopard, but my optical drive is not working. Can I take my macbook pro into the apple store and have them install it via a portable drive?
MacBook Pro, Optical drive is no longer working
Another poster replied, "Yes, I believe they will."
Is this true? Can someone verify this? Any idea of cost? I really don't need my optical drive. Besides, end of year, I'm getting a new Mack Book Pro.

This point system is so stupid when is it going to go?

posted in the InDesign forum.
Sorry folks, but word has come down from above that abuse of the point system is counter-productive. There are management types that actually believe some users see points as an incentive to provide a quality answer, and that they wouldn't do so without the points, but that's not a widely held opinion among hosts. Nevertheless, I have to lock the thread, and warn you that at some point there will be official sanctions for those who post threads with the sole purpose of gaming the point system.
If they don't want the point system abused then we need to do away with it. This forum is becoming less and less a place I want to help at. I think I will start looking for another Photoshop forum.

They've never read the Gandhi quote:
This is a genuine, well-known quote by Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian spiritual leader and activist:
• A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him.
• He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it.
• He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it.
• We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.
Employees of any entity, whether in government or in private business, will do well to keep it in mind and at heart.
The recent post by Kathy Nguyen, universally well received here, shows that she knows this principle and puts it into practice.
However, a few Adobe staff and associates seem somehow to think that Adobe's customers are lowly adversaries in some sort of Internet game or in a newsgroup. Those who manifest that misguided and poisonous attitude in this forum and in their blogs are showing their incompetence and their ignorance of basic business principles. To them I say: you're dead wrong! You are far from being our superiors, you are our servants.
They should know well who they are—and we certainly do.

To Adobe : Please add point system to this forum like SAP forum
