To the Forum Moderators

Please add "Search this Forum" to the LR forum page!
It is a hassle that the search always searches all forums.
Having to drilling down the very long forum list in the advanced search to find the correct forum to limit is a hassle as well - and I don't get the logic of the sort order btw.
Thanks

OK, found it on http://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom
Did not find it because ... jumping to the first page of the forum does not show it ... clicking on Photoshop Lightroom below the login name does not go the correct page where it is shown either.
One really has to reload the above link/page from favorites to get there.

How can a level 1 user privately contact the forum moderators?

Is there a web form or email address for this purpose?

The ability to report posts, which is what our friend Babowa is doing on your behalf, comes with the first move up the ladder to level 2. (150 points).
But I believe even that does not extend to your own posts for any but exceptional circumstances. Private contact (with all that that could imply) is not available to anyone formally.

Excessive Political Correctness on the Forum

The latest nonsense surrounding the forum rankings has really got me thinking about why I come here to the forum in the first place. It's very simple really, and its not to score points, or rise up the rankings.
I come here to do two things: Firstly, I try to help a few folks with broadband router and connectivity problems by giving them impartial, non-partisan advice - the emphasis being on impartial. Secondly, I come here to learn more about other areas of broadband from those who know much more about it than I do.
Sadly, it seems that healthy controversy and debate is no longer welcome on the forum. Nor, it seems, are technical issues which, whilst only of interest to a few, are still important to some on the forum. Checking through the forum, it seems that some 60% of the points I have awarded over the last two weeks have now been removed from their recipients. I'd given those points because the contributor had given something to me - either a better understanding of a complex area, a better answer than the one I would have offered, or simply because they made me smile.
I can't play this silly game any longer. Whilst I am happy to continue to offer impartial and hopefully useful advice - I no longer wish to participate in a ranking structure that rewards conformity and blandness over innovation and real contribution.
So, if I should happen to help you, please don't give me any points - a brief thank you is fine - passing on the advice to someone else is even better. I won't offer you any points either. Better to judge us all by reputation and word of mouth than silly titles.
"To forbid us anything is to make us have a mind for it."
-- Michel de Montaigne, Essays, 1559

Just to add my bit and then I'll leave it be.
Having read all the above posts several times now, I too am "thinking about why I come here to the forum".
I agree with what GD has written (I couldn't have put it better). I also choose to visit here to make friends and in doing so hopefully make the forum community a better place to be. I do this by having a bit of a laugh and a joke. This probably isn't the right place to do this but I feel it 'breaks the ice' plus I can stay on this forum in between 'gaps' in questions, comments and replies rather than just a passing glance. With reference to "healthy controversy and debate is no longer welcome on the forum. Nor, it seems, are technical issues". I don't see any problem with openly discussing these types of subjects. At times members may presume that activities/actions are illegal, that is against the law so therefore it must be legal and therefore can be discussed. The way I look at it: Is it not better to post these types of comments/concerns here rather than elsewhere whereby they cannot be locked? I guess that any new visitor would be surprised to see a locked thread and wonder why it was not allowed to continue to its conclusion. I feel that the members who do award ratings to other members should remain a private matter (once you log in you can see who gave a rating). The way I see it, what is to stop me from awarding rating points to every single post? I have also noticed that regulars on the old forum don't/won't post here for several reasons. Has anybody looked at the old forums "Top users"?
Now if the rating system could be altered to a two tier system (something similar to the old method of "helpful" and "answered" ratings) then I believe it could work better. Ratings awarded in this category would show next to the user id. Any other member that thought that the authors post was useful then a simple "other members rating" could be included on that thread/post.
A polite note to the Forum Moderators. If anything I have written is not allowed then please edit my post as you deem necessary and please do not lock this thread. Thank you.

Infinity issue - replying to forum moderators tick...

I have been dealing with the moderators over e-mail due to my infinity issue and the last 2 resposnes I have sent to the forum moderators e-mail after they replied to the ticket have had this automated reply:

I totally agree with Alex.
With over 11,600 threads this forum is really "heavy".
A few more categories would reduce the efford for searching and rise the effectiveness.
This applies to a few more categories by the way.
Nevertheless I'm also happy about the quit good support in this board.

Note to Forum moderators/PR/anyone at Creative who will listen and A

Dear Forum Moderators/PR punchbags,?It seems Creative doesn't mind continually taking punches from the general public, and the longer Creative waits, the more annoyed people are getting. We always hear the Creative moderators saying they are sending feedback up the corporate ladder, however we are yet to hear any form of decent news/updates on the X-Fi drivers which clearly have a multitude of issues. While I don't doubt the Creative moderators are doing their job, I (and i'm sure I speak on behalf of many others) expect to hear a decent reply from someone who has the authority to do so. We all paid good money for the product, and do not deserve to be ignored!?What do Creative have to say about the blatant ignorance of the existing "issue-ridden" X-Fi drivers for Vista? And what is Creative doing right now to rectify the issue? Why have so many good paying customers been left out in the dark for this long? And why do Creative continue to market the X-Fi as "Vista ready" when there is blatant evidence it is no where near "ready" for Vista?

Watching NASDAQ on tues told something of what was discussed here. Creatives main problem is trying to be all things to all people and insisting on in-house manufacture of their computer peripherals. While they may be able to control quality somewhat, their competition has the edge in cheaper labour. Note, the drastic cuts in R&D in the last 8 months. This is all relati'vely normal for companies this size. One other thing that is making hard for them to be competati've is being an american based company. However, doubtful this is going to bankrupt them, or negati'vely effect them in a way that they cannot shake off easily. Guaranteed, if and when drivers & software are released, so present gen cards work with vista, the very small (albeit vocal) community here on the forum will tone down the rhetoric. Creatives money is not made in retail, it's made in wholesale contracts to the likes of Dell for example, and 90% of all onboard sound chips have been Creative Labs and will likely continue to be. (note X-fi chips sold to makers?such as?azureus) This entire fiasco has been a lesson in consumer strategies as companies push and pull the marketplace to suit their manufacturing needs, not fill a void?of supply and demand as we would like it to be. The reality is Creative is under very little obligation to support these cards under vista, is it a good business decision? I dont think so. It sure would be nice if they has some respect for the retail customer. Some good old fashioned?PR would be nice here too. Will this sink them? Probably not. Would we like them to go bankrupt and send apology emails to all of us? Absolutely, nothing less. Is that reality? No. I simlpy won't put this much emphesis on my computer systems sound functions until I see what is being manufactured. And there are some really really good looking contenders right now. And several more to be released over the summer. In retrospect, this is a good thing Creative are doing by throwing the market wide open. This has been longed for, almost 8 years now. Don?t get me wrong, I still think this was and is a truly crappy thing they are doing, but in the long run, we win, becasue finally, we will have cards that rock, and people that care about the end user.Message Edited by scorpion_saga on 05-03-200703:30 AM

Of course, if enough peoplel hit the "report abuse" button on the offending posts then the system is supposed to automatically remove them.Don't know if it is removed automatically, but looks not fair for at least two reasons :

2. why trust "enough people" to say a post is an abuse ? should I say "enough people" does not mean different people ?I wasn't saying this was the only way to report spam, but just pointing out that the forum does do this (according to what Justin told us a while back).
I agree that some will remain longer than others on less active forums.
Rather than just complain about lack of moderators ..., why not hit the "report abuse" button and get rid of them that way.Again, it is not fair, especialy when there are dozen of spams. Time consumming, and annoying stuff. Unless we are able to mark member as spammer.
I would second Karam, the world does not stop during the week-end, and Oracle is responsible for what is happening on OTN forums on the week-ends or as well as the week days.No, the world doesn't stop, but the thread came across quite agressively as a complaint about the lack of moderators. We do have to remember that this is a freely provided forum and Oracle does not actively moderate it 24/7 as a paid support line.

Touch & Napster -to-go - Please can an administrator on the forum give us an official upda

Cat and Jason have said many, many times that the firmware for the Touch and Xtra "will be released, but I couldn't give you a specific date at this time I'm afraid." (Cat) and "will be worth the wait" (Jeremy).
Now, according to them, the only link we the end-user has to the company's insides there will be a firmware update for the players.
However, they never mentioned what the update will address. Will it solve the USB charging irritation, will it add MTP and PlaysForSure, will it reogranize the tree structure in the Xtra - could it do all the above? They never said.
In addition - are their relays to us legally binding, as only they (and tech support to some extent) know what's going on behind that blue backlit curtain in Singapore? Napster2Go said that the Touch will be N2G compatible - Creati've never did.
If they don't release a firmware update... isn't that sale under false pretense? No different than the retraction that Circuit City had to post about the Zen Micro and Audible... it would be sale under a fale pretense.
For all we know, the update could only fix the EQ settings on the Touch. They have their out. They updated the firmware as promised - end of story. Next product.
I can only hope that they wouldn't do that, as consumer research says a happy customer tells ~5 people, while an angry customer tells ~60. Creative's already lost market share to Apple... I doubt they'd want to lose more.
Admins, Moderators, people "who know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy that works for Creative," you don't know the date that it will be released - but do you know anything. I knew that project "Longhorn" was in development, and i knew what it would do, but i didn't know when it would come out.
Why can't you give us a hint as to what we'll see in the coming firmware... you don't have to tell us why it's taking so long especially if it's a hardware flaw. If all software is telling you guys is that "It'll be done soon," can you at least tell us that?
Honestly, i don't want the whole cake right now. I just want to run my finger across the icing and get a taste.
EDIT: I changed the title of the post to get attention about the Touch/Xtra Firmware, and would like to make this into sort of a petition that Creative (at a minimum) <tell us what issues will be addressed in the FW updates and any additional features; and a reasonable ballpark as to when the FW should be released. "In the near future" isn't much of an answer... I'm getting engaged "in the near future."
Think about it Creative - If you told us that the Touch/Xtra would do X (e.g. N2G, or PIM), I know i could convince my friends to "Get Creative" as you so put it.Message Edited by harikari on 08-0-2005 08:23 PM

Foxystoat,As mentioned in the FAQ there is currently no announced release date for the New Zen Touch Plays for Sure firmware. As of now there has been no change. You can still count on a Plays for Sure firmware to be released for the Zen Touch/Zen Xtra.Jeremy
Actually, there was originally an announcement stating it would come out long ago (humorously, November, according to this site at microsoft). Then, another announcement that was to be by Q2 of 2005, then all we've heard since is Q2+ here on the forums. Sounds like it's getting more vague as time goes by!
Can we please at least get some word of some sort straight from the devs so we know they really exist? We really do appreciate your posts here, Jeremy, honest! But, when all you can say is basically "I don't know", there are a lot of us out here that lose faith in Creative's ability to actually create said firmware/compatibility!
Forgive me if I sound frustrated... but I am! I am getting more frustrated every day, and I've not even been waiting as long as a lot of others here! I can't imagine how anyone has managed to wait since the original announcement without jumping ship and heading to another company! I do understand that programming takes time. However, communication is the key, and all we keep hearing is "it will happen.... sometime..." All we need is some sort of communication letting us know even a hopeful target of some sort!
*pant, pant* Sorry for the complaining... having a bad day, I guess.... I could sure use more music on my Xtra to pass the time.......

Installation of the forum

Hi,
I configured the portal step by step how it is explained in a tutorial.
I also choose an Admin user.
Im able to open the Forum View.
But I cannot open the Administration View. I get the following message:
The requested file /admin/ForumAdministration does not exist.
What is the reason?
MAny Thanks
Steve

In this link
"Access to the Admin Console

Story won't update. And I've read the forum posts!

I have a desktop version of Story installed well before May 2012. It's on a Mac running OS 10.8.2.
When I launch Story, it wants to update itelf. But never completes the process. I've read all the forum posts so have tried installing the latest version of Adobe AIR (3.6) and downloading the Story installer from the links provided by Adobe forum moderators. When I run the installer via AIR, I get this message every time.
This application cannot be installed because this installer has been misconfigured.
I've tried deleting Story from the Applications folder. I've tried different versions of Adobe AIR. Same result. I have nothing left to try.
Can anyone help?

Thanks for the reply. I made sure that the Story application was not in the Applications folder, and tried again. Still no luck.
But then I searched my whole system - and noticed there was a back-up copy of the Story application on an attached firewire hard drive. I unmounted this drive - and tried the installer again - with success!
It seems the installer doesn't just look in the Application folder for old copies of Story - it scans the whole system and every disk it can find.
So - problem solved. And thanks again for your fast responses. Really appreciated. I can get back to writing now.

Problem posting images on the forum (color depth)

I was posting an idea on CVI idea exchange board and was continuously getting a generic error ("Codice di errore: caricamento non riuscito" which means "error code: unsuccessful loading") while trying to add an image.
After several studies and attempts I realized that the problem is not in the image size or name or whatsoever element but rather in the color depth: it arises with 32-bit images, while you can post 24-bit images without problems. This applies to other forum boards as well (just tested on CVI board and this actual message), I suppose it is a general rule.
I don't seem to have noted any note on this in the forum help: there exists some documentation on which objects the forums accept as attachments? You know: file types, image types and characteristics, object sizes and so on...
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Many thanks in advance...
Click the "Insert Image" icon up in the tool bar when you compose a reply. It's immediately to the right of the "Insert Link" icon that looks like a chain link.
Some images have to wait for Moderators to clear them. This is to prevent users from posting obscene photos, etc.

User Banned from the forum using proxy server??

HI for awhile now I cannot get on the forum without disabling my proxt server. Why is this? Does adobe need my IP so badly??? This has been going since they started the cloud.. Please help me find out how to get on while on a proxy server. I use netshade and a VPN. It just can't find the server.
Here are the screen shots
and

Thanks for the advise Pat. this is recent problem. So I guess adobe does not have a work around in the offing? Does this mean that my proxy server is funeling some of those IPs?? Is it flagged somehow?? I suppose I can't reinstall while the proxy is in place then so it will see and recognize it? well thanks anyway. do you have any idea if this is why adobe thinks I am in trial mode when I really have a full license?? I keep getting the pop-up and the days keep counting down and I keep putting in my full license and it keeps asking every time I open the app. I don't wnat to get to day 0 and not be able to use photoshop which I paid full price for when it first came out! Any help would be most welcome. thanks aloha, Uhane

I don't think Adobe is interested in your IP address. Also, banning proxy servers is not directed against you, but against certain people who really want to hide their IP addresses: spammers.
You don't know how many spam messages are removed daily from this forum by moderators and administrators. Forum spam has become a great problem over the last few years, and banning IP ranges from where forum spam originates has been quite effective.
So I don't think there is a way of letting legitimate users like you using a proxy server to login, while at the same time keeping spammers at bay.
