User Survey - new forum categories

Hi everyone! We've noticed that the Creator forum is pretty large at this point, and it might make sense to split the forum into sub-categories. We'd like to get your feedback on this.
- Would you prefer to have the Creator forum split into sub-categories?
- If so, what sub-categories would you like to see?
Please post your feedback to this thread, or email me directly at jen.erale AT sun.com
Thanks in advance for your feedback - we hope to improve your user experience with this information!
Regards,
Jen Erale
Sun Microsystems, Inc.

I'd love to see categories - Helpful Hints, Requests for Enhancements, and Cries for Help spring to mind...

Stop making new forum categories! I can't find anything!

Ok. So I know that now that Buzzword has been 'integrated'
with many other Adobe things, it has a lot more users, but I truly
miss the old forum more and more. Especially considering how many
people are on now. In the old forum, new comments were on the top,
one did not have to search for them. And they were all in one
place, rather than people making their own category (like I am
doing now).
I would also really like to know if the old forum is still
accessible somewhere? I am curious to see what the last comments
were by older users of Buzzword.
My suggestions:
1 - Bookmarks. I have become dependent on bookmarks.... Open
Office does it so well, it is easy to create and browse through
them. You could make, like a little box (similar to the symbol
insert one) where users could create, destroy, and follow bookmarks
with just a click. It would be awesome.
2 - A floating message thing. Something that you could write
comments in but wasn't attached to a specific line. I have created
separate documents for this purpose, but it would be nice to be
able to have it to the side. Like Macintosh Stickies or something.
3 - I thought I had another idea that I posted in the old
forum... But I can't remember it... Is there anyway to visit that?
4 - Everyone wants a new organizer. Tags and folders and
stuff. I suppose it would be nice. But it is defiantly the most
suggested feature in the old forum.
5 - It would also be nice to be able to re-name a document
for your organizer alone. Not that it would affect the true name
and how others saw it.
6 - A horizontal ruler.
7 - Another thing that would be great is a 'mark as unread'
feature, like e-mail has, in case I opened a document and didn't
find what was different or just wanted to mark it so I remember to
look at it when I get on next. And on that note, it would be nice
if Buzzword could temporarily mark (with an underline or something,
perhaps a colored bar to the left) changes that happened to the
document.
8 - Fix the forum. I am all for freedom, usually. But I think
there could be more control. Like not allowing everyone to make new
topics, but preform within the topics that are there. It is easier
to organize this way. Less chaotic.
Oh, and if there have been more changes to buzzword that I
don't know about, then you should consider updating the "Welcome to
Buzzword" document....
Thank you for this wonderful word processor. It really is one
of my favorite (ironically, because it is more simple, yet pretty
and has pagination. It is a pity to me that so many new users want
formats and styles and such...) Thanks for reading all our comments
so patiently.

The old Buzzword forum is no longer available, as we want to
encourage existing and new users to frequent this forum to post
their ideas, comments and ask questions.
However, we are currently going through all of the content of
the old Buzzword Forum (there were many great ideas and good
solutions which we don't want to lose) to bring the solutions to
this forum. You'll see some new postings in this forum based on the
content in the original Buzzword forum.
The ideas and suggestions for feature enhancements have been
logged with the product team. So, your ideas and comments have had
an impact!

Old user, questions for new forums

the last time that i needed to DL extensions was right after
the macromedia/adobe merger. being a longtime dreamweaver user, i
was very familiar with the exchange and had no problem with it
except that i was a bit slow to browse through. and, also, being a
longtime photoshop user, i was familiar with the adobe
support/downloads/forums etc. as well.
i have a new computer and am now using dw 8 and am looking
for some dw extensions. the exchange no longer lists information
about the software compatibility of the extensions. so i came to
the forum to look for information. the dw general forum lists
119814 topics, and yet i can only access 2 pages (40 topic).
my next step was to seek out a _forum_ forum. the closest
thing i found, linked from
http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/index.html
(which also links to this forum) was under general/forum
comments. i discovered that it required a different log-in
procedure, requiring a first/last name for user, instead of the
email address that this forum requires. well, this turns out to be
defined as a &quot;user to user&quot; forum and
restricted to only that. for example, the faq had a question
regarding downloads (i'm thinking maybe i'll find a link to a
better-functioning dw exchange). but the answer to this
&quot;faq&quot; was &quot;there are no
downloads in the user to user forum&quot;.
i want to be able to get dw extensions and to locate a forum
that addresses this activity. i also want to locate a forum that
discusses the functionality of the support forums in general.
and, possibly, most importantly, i want to be able to access
more than just the 40 most recent postings in a forum that claims
to have almost 12,000 topics.
thanks,
jf

Did you logout from the old account and do the delete from the new administrator account? You may have to click the padlock at the lower-left if it is locked.

New forum not very user friendly (to me anyway!)

I may be missing the obvious. If anyone can post some pointer on how to use this new forum, I'd be greatful. Issues I have are:
1) I can't seem to tell which threads have new posts since my last visit. Some say "updated" after the title, but some which should be updated according to when the last post was don't say so, and vice versa.
2) Is there a way to get directly to the unread posts without having to go through the thread from the top?
3) Is there a way to navigate to other posts without having to return to the top of the thread?
These are just a few problems I'm having so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

the only thing I found remotely better, was the ability to upload jpg and screenshots... but the rest leaves a lot to be desired.
For example, when scrolling through the 50 or so posts on one page -> Then you press next -> next -> next page until you're at page 19... and find a post that seems exciting at the headline, you click it, and read it and find that "naaah, it wasn't about what I thought it was..." then you go back...
and voila!
You end up at page one again!!!!! Havin to klick - perhaps - 19 times next until you get to the next page, if you hade the abilitly to remember on what page that last post where... I mean, c'mon. Adobe.... ?! This huge giant have such lame forum technology?

New Forum FAQ

This is a work in progress and will be re-formatted soon into individual Question/Answers in an FAQ subforum.
Can I over write the forums style sheets to change the layout?
Yes, Please see this discussion of scripts that can help you change your view of the Forums: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/294008?tstart=30
How can I see the interface in Japanese, French, German, Spanish, or Simplified Chinese?
In order to see pages in these languages, you can click the Region links at the top of page (where it lists a country name and says “Change”), choose your region and language from the pop-up menu. Click on "Remember this choice" under the menu.
Why do some older messages appear with parentheses around user names?
For a three-month period before our new forums were launched, we encouraged users to go through an account migration process to associate their former User to User forum IDs with their Adobe ID. Accounts with the parentheses are from those users who had content in the old Adobe User to User Forums, but who have not yet signed into the new system. The parentheses were added to these account names so they could be imported into the new system without clashing with screen names associated with Adobe IDs.
Once a user logs in with that account in the new system the parentheses will go away.
How do I participate in the Adobe Online Forums via email?
Visit the forum you wish to participate in and click on the link to "Receive email notifications". You will start receiving new messages posted in that forum. You can reply to the messages directly from your email or you can click on a link in the message to come back to the forum.
Can I start a new discussion topic via email?
Yes. Once you have subscribed to a forum you can click on the “Your Stuff” link in the forums, click on “Mailing Lists” and find a "Create Discussion" email link for each forum you are subscribed to. Copy the full email address (it may wrap onto two lines) into your email client's address book and send new discussions to this address.
Can I include a file attachment via email?
You can include a file attachment in an email that starts a new forum discussion, but you cannot attach a file to an email reply to an existing discussion.
How do I stop receiving email notifications from the Adobe Forums?
To discontinue receiving thread subscription updates, you can change your personal settings in the web-based forums. To do this, login to the Adobe Forums by visiting http://forums.adobe.com/ and click on "Login".
Once you've logged in with your Adobe ID and password, click the menu item labeled "Your Stuff" and select "Profile". Select the "Email Notifications" tab, check the threads for which you would no longer like to receive subscription updates and click "Remove Selected Notifications."
How do I prevent myself from being automatically subscribed to threads I post messages in?
Go to the Your Stuff link in the User Bar, click on Preferences, and uncheck the to radio buttons for subscribing to threads you create and threads you reply to.
How do I embed an image or a video in a forum message?
When posting a message in the Forums there are two buttons in the Rich Text Editor to include a video or an image file in the message.
For video, click on the clapboard button/icon then select the video site and enter the Video URL or embed code and click Insert.
For an image, click on the camera button/icon then select the appropriate tab (From Your Computer, Uploaded Images, or From the web) and follow the onscreen instructions.
What if I want to link to an image on an external site, such as Pixentral or Flickr, instead of uploading the image to the Forum server?
Flickr's Terms of Service state that if you post an image hosted on Flickr on another site you have to link back to the image page on Flickr. To do that you need to go to your image on Flickr, click on the All Sizes link above the image, select the size image you want, then Copy the HTML code from the first box of code underneath the image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This will open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Flickr site. Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to post the message to the forum system.
For Pixentral images, you will need to go to http://www.pixentral.com and upload your image following the instructions there. You do NOT have to check the box to make images public. Once your image is uploaded there copy the HTML code from the box below your image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This wil open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Pixentral site. Please note that there is an extra "/" character in the Pixentral URL that will prevent the image from showing up, so you need to make one change to the HTML that you copied from the Pixentral site. The beginning of the HTML code will look something like this:
<a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd"/>
Please remove the forward slash that appears between the quotes and the greater than symbol so that this part of the HTML code looks like this:
<a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd">
Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to post the message to the forum system.
Can I attach a file to a forum message?
Yes. Each message in the Forums can have up to three files attached. Each file cannot exceed 5MB. These numbers are subject to change.
To attach a file, create a new forum message as usual and then click on the “Browse” button below the Rich Text Editor box to select a file from your computer.
Are forum messages presented in Threaded or Flat order?
The Forum messages can be presented in either Threaded or Flat order. This can be set in your forum Preferences. Click on the “Your Stuff” link and select “Preferences”. The first setting on that page is for how you want to see the messages.
In Flat mode, each message posted in the Forum will appear directly below and in line with the message posted before it. You will be able to view the discussion as if it were a live discussion with each person taking a turn in successive order.
In Threaded mode, each message will be posted below the message it is direct reply to and will be indented. This makes it easier to follow sidebar or sub-discussions, but can make it more difficult to follow a long conversation.
When you are reading messages in a forum, you can select to reply to the original message or to any of the replies to that original message.
How do I edit a message that I have posted in the Forum?
After you have posted a message you will find an “Edit” link at the bottom of the message. Click on the link to open the message editor and make your changes. The edit feature is good for fixing a typo or a link. But if you have extensive changes to make to your message we suggest that you post a new reply to your message instead of editing the original message. Editing is not available if someone has replied to your message. At that point, you have to add a new reply to the thread with the updated information.
How do I delete a message that I have posted in the Forum?
You can delete a message you have posted if there have been no replies. Once someone has replied the Delete option goes away.

How many Private Messages can I have?
40 (subject to change)
Can I subscribe to a feed from the Forums?
Yes, you can get an RSS feed from various parts of the forums: Announcements, Discussions, and you can even subscribe to an individual user by going to their profile (click on their name or avatar any place in the forums) and getting the feed link from there. You can also get a feed of your private message inbox.
Some messages have odd linebreaks and random characters in them, such as lines that start with B or I that don't seem to make sense.
The Adobe Online Forums is a new system that has data imported from two previous systems. One of the previous systems had its own message formatting codes, such as B for Bold and I for Italic. These codes import into the new system as plain text and lead to the formatting issue that you might run across on old messages.
I marked a reply to my question as the correct answer, but then discovered that it was not correct. Can I remove the Marked as Answered setting?
No, you can only set this for one reply and it cannot be removed. Please post a follow up message in the discussion thread with updated information, such as a clarification or rebuttal to the marked answer.
I am not clear on the points system in the Forums. Will I get points for simply posting questions or replying to questions?
No. Points are not given for simply posting a question or a reply. Points are awarded by the person who started a discussion. They can mark a reply to their question as either The Answer or as Helpful. They can mark one “Correct” answer and two “Helpful” answers per discussion thread.
I've clicked to edit my profile and now I'm lost. I can't get back to the discussion I was viewing.
Use the History link in the user bar.
Is there an alternative to the Rich Text Editor?
Yes, if you are comfortable with some basic HTML, you can click on the “HTML” link in the upper right corner of the Full Editor to switch to an HTML editor. If you use the HTML editor you need to remember to put in <p> and <br> tags between paragraphs, otherwise the HTML editor will remove extraneous white space (including carriage returns) in your message.
How can I Jump the last message in a thread?
Click on the XX minutes ago link in the list of threads to go to the latest message instead of to the first message.
How do I change my name or screen name?
At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Edit the desired information on this page and click “Update”.
How do I change my email address?
At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Your Adobe ID/email is listed here, and you need to click on the “Change” button. Enter your email address, your password, and click “Update”. Note that your email address is also your Adobe ID which you use to login, so if you change your email address, you will also need to login using the new email address.
How do I change my password?
At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Your password is displayed as a series of asterisks (*****). Click the “Change” button. You will need to enter your current password, your new password, and a password hint. Click on the “Update” button to save your changes.

@ adobe-admin (J.C.?):
Thanks for fixing the "backslash" error. Accuracy is important, and doubly so when presented as an F.A.Q.
The sad thing is how prevalent the usage of "backslash" is when a plain old slash is meant (generally, the "forward" attribute is assumed and unneeded), and by people who should know better. It's a direct result of people knowing just barely enough about the Windows file path naming protocols, and then applying the only terminology they're familiar with incorrectly to URLs.
I went about 10 rounds—TWICE!—with a labyrinthian succession of people at the Discovery & History cable TV networks because they were saying "backslash" in voice overs whenever their commercials promoted their websites. It took some doing, but I finally got in touch with somebody who was savvy enough to recognize that it was a rookie mistake made by a clueless marketing copywriter. The voice over person just read the copy they were given, oblivious to the difference. It amazes me that it wasn't caught by somebody early in the recording/production process and rectified.
They then had it correct for about a year, until new commercials started popping up with the same error. Unfortunately, the person I had talked to previously no longer worked for the History channel and I had to go through the process of finding someone who understood all over again.
Yeah, you can call me a nitpicker with nothing better to do.
But I've earned that dang badge, and I wear it proudly!

Getting help with the new forum software

Searching for some help I located the Jive 6.0 community user help and thought I could share this information.
http://docs.jivesoftware.com/jive/6.0/community_user/index.jsp
It provides explanations and examples and seems to be useful.
For instance, what does threaded and flat mean in the Profile preferences?
Type "flat view" in the search field to get the answer.
How to use the editor?
Search for "content editor".
etc, etc.

Thanks, Dude for this.
Just in addition, from a previous discussion it has been said this new forum runs on Jive 5.0.5.
And you can actually check it out, open the source code of the current page, you'll see a lot of 5.0.5 references, such as
window._jive_resource_url = prepareUrl("/5.0.5/")
kjs.load('/5.0.5/resources/scripts/gen/8955a433291e9fdcf40ae92adce79aae.js', [ ]);
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/5.0.5/styles/jive.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/5.0.5/styles/jive-icons.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
etc.

Can I start a new forum?

I would like to establish a new forum called RBAC/SOD/ACM. We would use this forum to discuss Enterprise Oracle Application Controls Solutions using Role Based Access Control (RBAC), Segregation of Duties (SOD) and Applications Controls Monitoring (ACM). We will also use this forum to identify potential role candidates for RBAC.
You could include this forum in the E-Business Suite. The Application Controls Solutions are implemented using Oracle User Management and Oracle System Administration for RBAC, and Oracle Internal Controls Manager (OICM) for SOD and ACM.

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.

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.

Thanks for the new Forum!

I would like to personally thank and (welcome all others to thank) the administrators, moderators or anybody involved with the evolution of our new forum. This new feature rich format is by far the best I have seen and I am a member of quit a few other forums. MSI should consider themselves very fortunate to have such a great team working on their forum. I know as users we are very appreciative, Thanks again!
P.S. Yes it seems like you have fixed the slowdown problems as the pages seem to be loading at normal speeds again.

I too have benefited from good advice on my MSI K8n Neo2 mb questions. The members here are knowledgable and polite. Questions asked nicely are answered by good suggestions. Thanks to MSI for sponsoring such a useful owner's forum.

New forum request

I've been using the Hyperion Query and Reporting forum for some time now. There is always confusion about which product is involved in a discussion. Hyperion Financial Reporting and Hyperion Interactive Reporting are very different products. Can one or two new forums be created to allow users to distinguish between these?

We get people posting questions that aren't clear in all forums.
The forum description says:
>
Forum Home » Business Intelligence Foundation » Hyperion Query and Reporting
Forum: Hyperion Query and Reporting
Covers Hyperion Interactive Reporting, Hyperion Financial Reporting, Hyperion SQR Production Reporting, Hyperion Web Analysis, and respective administration/development topics
>
Considering the low level of activity in that forum (between 0 and 10 posts per day), compared with other far more active forums, I don't believe it would warrant creating seperate forums.
Of course that would be for the admin to decide.

Thanks Adobe! I LOVE this new forum software!

As someone who belongs to many, many forums over the years, I've gone through a lot of forum software changes. Generally, the vocal majority raise heck about it, but eventually things settle down and people go about their regular forum use with little effort.
These new forums are so much "easier on the eyes" than the mind-numbing sea of text we currently have. Some like the new colors, some hate it. Some like avatars & signatures, and some don't. But the reason you come here is for the information, and this new software WILL make it easier to find what you're looking for.
Macworld.com switched to this very same software last year. They had an obscenely large user base, all of which voiced their opinions repeatedly, to the point where many simply stopped visiting until the switchover was complete. In general, those that don't like change tend to voice their opinions the loudest. The vast majority though, tend to keep quiet and roll with changes. Today, Macworld's forums are running just fine, offer a plethora of new features, and are more active than they ever were previously.
I have no heavy interest in what Adobe does with these forums because I rarely visit the current ones - mostly because I find them absolutely unreadable. But I'm also betting I'll be using them a whole lot more once this switchover is complete. In fact, I KNOW I will.
Rather than complaining about change in general, colors, icons, avatars, signatures, bloated code, or whatever silly reason some are coming up with, time would be better spent simply helping to find bugs with what is there. Once the bugs are worked out, Adobe will most likely start looking at "fine-tuning" the look & feel.

> What I have noticed is that there is a totally different set of aesthetic values being exhibited here between the Users of the Adobe Professional Graphic Arts applications (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) and the people who are almost entirely geared to AV or to web site work and the use of the formerly Macromedia products (such as Dreamweaver).
Ann, you may be correct. But if functionality is truly the most important feature of Adobe Forums, the WebX format falls dramatically short for my own applications:
WebX screws any code or script posted, generally making it unusable. For this reason, the Script and Expression areas of the After Effects forum are virtually non-existent. Users go to other places to discuss these features, because it's not practical to do so on the current forums.
A picture tells a thousand words. When new users come to the WebX forums and want to post a screen grab of their problem project, it's embarrassing to tell them they need to use an external image host to do so.
Video tells ten thousand words. The ability to easily embed YouTube and other online video content into a post is not just a great convenience, it's a way to teach, inform and demonstrate within the forum, rather than sending users somewhere else mid-discussion.
I share a number of your criticisms about the Jive Forums, but for me and the community which uses my frequented forums, the Jive system also offers features which are essential for productive use. As I suspect the new system, like the old, will evolve over time, I'm happy to embrace the positives of the change, and hope that any major problems can be resolved in time.

What About Moderators in the New Forum?

Read the spam thread for awhile and you will see that moderation works well in these webx forums
You will also see messages concerning the LACK of moderation over in the cfusion side of things
Will the new forum software/structure allow for "this" moderation to continue, or will it fall away to "that" style of non-moderation?

Actually, on that note: how does one double-check that they've managed to link their user here with an Adobe ID?
The first umpteen dozen times I tried to do this the login to the Adobe ID would time out -- something I frankly get quite a lot when I try to login anytime with my Adobe ID. I'm not sure what's going on there.
I just tried to link my users here a few minutes ago and got the same time out. So I opened another window and tried logging in manually somewhere else. On my fourth or fifth try (after double-checking the password with the 'forgot your password?' function) it went through. Satisfied I had the right user/pass combo, I went back to the timed out page and hit fresh. It came up with some window asking to confirm I wanted to login with my (correct) Adobe ID and I said 'confirm'. So I *think* I'm linked, but I don't see any visual cue. At least, it doesn't ask me when I login anymore.
At any rate, is there way to verify it at our end? It'd be nice to have that peace of mind. Also, it'd be nice if I could find out why I timeout 90% of the time I try to login with my Adobe ID -- is it just that overloaded with users logging in?

Do the users on these Forums know?

Do the users on these Forums know that you can click on their user name and see a list of all their postings? Try it some time and then tell me how much your worried about the supposed issues some of them are complaining about. All they're doing is detracting from the ability of the communities to help with legitimate problems of the users who are not just trying to stir up trouble withfictious problems.
Ron

excellent observation. When I first started, new members like yourself couldn't report posts, but I have heard that you can now. If you see them (and can report them), report them as trolls and the mods will help clear out the kruft...

New forums...bad!

Since I have no idea where to put this, I chose here...
The new forums are a mess. I logged in with my usual Verizon login, and when I went to go to the forums, it prompted me to SIGN UP. No opportunity to log in with my old, current user id. I tried entering my user ID and email, and it said they were already taken... no duh.. they are mine and I can't log in. So I had to use another login ID and email to at least log in.
What did you do to the forums? How do I access my original account???
and by the way, the forums are totally broken for IE (not that I use it...) .. multiple errors!

Was your previous username a community only ID or one that was linked through your MyVerizon account? Also the first time you log in your should have gotten a token to reset your password. The passwords weren't carried over from the Lithium platform.

Can you possibly assist this user with getting logged in?
