Not sure what link you are referring to. Out of curiosity I pulled up the page source, and the link I'm talking about directs to: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Terms-of-Service-and-User/Welcome-to-Verizon-Community-Forums/board?boa...
This appears that the link is supposed to go to the Forum Feedback and Suggestions board, which I already knew about. (Obviously, since this post is on that board.) So it looks like the link just needs to be updated.
Unfortunately, I was hoping for an alternate route to support and/or a status post.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

Moderators
Verizon reserves the right to manage the postings on the Verizon Community to provide an orderly presentation of this information. To effectively manage the Verizon Community, Verizon may designate employees or others to act as moderators and administrators for the Verizon Community ("Moderators").

Authorized Verizon Employees are distinguished by the Rank of "Employee" and/or an official Verizon logo as an Avatar. Verizon is not responsible for content provided by any Verizon employee who is not designated as a Moderator or an Employee.
Community Monitoring
Users are asked to help Verizon keep the Verizon Community a valuable and enjoyable information resource for all participants by notifying us of any offending messages or other violations of these Terms. To advise us of such a posting, click the confidential "Report Inappropriate Content" link on the applicable post. Repeat offenders will be contacted by email and eventually banned from the Verizon Community. If violations are egregious in nature, we will contact the appropriate authorities.
Modification and discontinuance of the Verizon Community
Verizon reserves the right at any time to delete, modify, suspend, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Verizon Community (or any part of the Verizon Community, including any postings) with or without notice.

Upon such termination, the user must immediately cease accessing or utilizing the Verizon Community and agree not to re-register or otherwise make use of the Verizon Community. Furthermore, the user acknowledges that Verizon reserves the right to take action -- technical, legal, or otherwise -- to block, nullify, or deny the user's ability to access the Verizon Community. The user understands that Verizon may exercise this right in its sole discretion.

THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN VERIZON AND THE USER.
Miscellaneous
The Terms are a complete statement of the agreement between you and Verizon, and set forth the entire liability of Verizon and your exclusive remedy with respect to your access and use of the Verizon Community. In the event of a conflict between these the Verizon Community Terms of Service and either the Verizon Privacy Policy or the Verizon Terms of Use applicable to Verizon, these Terms of Service prevail.

Any waiver of the Terms by Verizon must be in a writing signed by an authorized officer of Verizon and expressly referencing the applicable provisions of the Terms. Your privilege to use or access the Verizon Community may be terminated by Verizon immediately and without notice if you fail to comply with any of the Terms. Upon such a termination, you must immediately cease accessing or using the Verizon Community. If any provision of the Terms is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then it is to be, to that extent, deemed omitted, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force. The Terms do not limit any rights that Verizon may have under trade secret, trademark, copyright, patent, or other laws.
*If you feel you have a solicitation that should be posted to the Verizon Community Forums, please ask for pre-authorization by contacting Verizon at: [email protected] or you can reach out directly by private message to any official moderator or admin in the community.

Looks to me (and I haven't been advised on changes) that this is a customer protection. I don't know what the previous policy was, but this guarantees that if FiOS is no longer serviced in your area, you cannot be charged an early termination fee if there remains time left on your account. It seems obvious that you wouldn't be he held responsible in such a case, but this is just putting it in writing.

Why is there no way to delete my community forum account?

Hello, I have realized that I already have a My Verizon log in and would rather use that instead of the community profile I just made. I cannot find ANYWHERE how to delete my account, and I have seen threads from others saying they cannot find it either; and someone else ( I assume a moderator or someone with administrative privileges ) had to come along and do it for them.
Why is this so? Anyway, I'd like to delete my account so mods please send me the link. Thanks.

Clearly, myself and others cannot without the help of an administrator.
Or maybe it is true that the Verizon Support forums does not allow account deletion. It could just be a shady way to attempt to keep member info and email addresses. But believe me lol, the reason they may not allow account deletion is not because it would cause continuity problems in the threads, or because it would be technically impossible and cause problems with thread history.
Someone with any technical knowledge will tell you the same. Now the site, in theory, could be purposely designed with that limitation in an attempt to have a reason to deny account termination, but I'd hope that is not the case here.

BT community Forum - NOT BT ?????????????????

My understanding is that BT do not moderate this site.
So basically does that mean any issues go un-noticed ???????????????????????????

Hello,
Taken from:
http://community.bt.com/t5/Terms-Guidelines/BTCare-Community-Forums-User-Guidelines/td-p/2
If you are new to our forums – welcome. We hope that you enjoy being part of a community of people looking to help each other solve issues, ask questions, swap tips and give advice regarding BT products and services.
While we have a Community Manager and Moderators, these forums are intended to be peer-to-peer community.
There are Mods, they can and do fix problems which can't be solved by the community. There is a form to contact them here:
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951
It's usually best to have exasperated the community first though ;-)

Welcome to our new forums!

Hey all,
We are very excited to announce the release of Edge Animate 1.0 and welcome to the community. During our Preview period we hosted our community discussions on http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/edge/, which is now archived and read-only. We encourage you to continue your Edge Animate discussions, feedback, requests and bug reports here on our new forum.
To our new users, we hope you find this forum useful with feedback provided from both the core Animate team and valued community members. To our existing users, thank you for your invaluable contribution to Animate and for helping us shape the product you know today. We couldn't have done it without you.
Happy posting!
Sarah Hunt
Product Manager, Adobe Edge Animate

Animate Free is great news indeed A big thank to Adobe.
And even bigger thanks to those who made it all possible... huge kudos and thanks to all the ladies in the Adobe House (like Sarah and Elaine ^_^) and gents (Mark'n'Co!) who have been providing support 24/7 along with the whole Adobe Edge Team Wizards working their magic behind the scenes . Also thanks to the community members for being so helpful sharing their knowledge helping us dig each other out when one of us got stuck in a rut or found a major bump on the road.
I enjoyed being a little part of this evolution from preview 3 onwards as see how Edge now "Edge Animate" had grown into a more mature product. In a short time much has been accomplished and that's for sure an achievement to be proud of at all levels from the Adobe team all the way to those who blasted with requests and have been nagging Mark with unsolicited e-mail suggestions and feedback... yep, that'd be me and no I ain't done yet Mark since you haven't replied asking me to stop ! LOL
Either my emails have been auto-routed to trash, or you are listening in silence (judging to what happen between Preview 4~5 and 7). Those who may know what I sent over may be grinning proudly with a "we made it all the way down the laundry list... mostly" And I'd say yes you did... congrats for doing such a great job guys (and girls of course!)
Now I wouldn't want to quote "The Wolf" and repeat here what he said after Julius and Vince were done cleaning up the mess in the car at Jimmy's LOL ! So a mention should suffice for those who remember that scene and getting my drift, realize that despite this awesome achievement, there's still a lot to be done
It's an Edge, not a Peak... the Edge does not remain steadily in the same place and once conquered can be conquered all over again in the same way. An Edge is has a life of its own and is indeed "animated" as it keeps moving in various directions. So the the Wiz Team at Adobe have their job cut for themselves with all that will come in the future where the evolution will intevitably move towards making evem simpler and more intuitive the UI adding more interactive and powerful features to Edge Animate, while continuing to empower creatives across the globe by making the process from conceptualization to realization increasingly smoother, easier and painless via the intuitive Edge Animate workspace UI.
So once again thanks, kudos and much love to the entire community... and here is a toast to you all with the hope that we'll continue the journey in the same fun and fruitful direction that has led us here today.
Cheers!

In attempting to export a simple 1-page PDF file to Microsoft Word, I incessantly get the following error message:
"An error occured [sic] while trying to access the service."
Nothing on any of the community forums has helped in any way.
I have downloaded a free trial of Acrobat XI Pro -- and that too makes no difference.

while trying to access the service."
That'd be associated with trying to connect to the server(s) for one of the Adobe online subscription services.
(Edit PDF or PDF Pack)
These online services are separate and independent of the desktop application Acrobat.
It appears that you have had / are having internet connection issues.
Be well...

My password at the Community Forum is refused and no email is sent to fix it.

I tried to ask a question at the Apple Community Forum and the password I ahve used for year is refused. When I click on "Forgot Password," NO email is ever sent to me. I can get into the general Apple site with that ID and password.
I am looking for an application to open .wp files - I know the older version of Pages will open .cwk files but don't know if it will open .wp as well.

Pages will not open WordPerfect files. The formats Pages will support can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4641
The freeware LibreOffice will support WPD files. I'm not sure if WP is different.
As to your password here, it's the same as the Apple ID, so if you have an ID for which the password is not working and the reset email isn't arriving, you'll need to call Apple Support, ask to speak with Account Security, and enlist their help.
Regards.

After posting a question on the community forum page, will I be notified when an answer appears?

2. To maintain all the docs that are referred in various business transactions and which can be used for completing the transactions (Eg: Customer complaints, supplier evaluations etc).
3. To control and distribute all the documents, and ensure latest documents are in use.
4.To archive obsolete documents.
5. Linking and Updation of HR related documents.
6. To maintain change history of documents.
7. Defining the person responsible for control of the documents.
TO implement Document management system, first install the content server and connect to your Back end ECC 6.0 System.
you can find the content server as a "standalone Engine" under SAP Netweaver 2004s Support Release 2
the above content server has version content server 6.40 with MaxDB

My Oracle Support Community Forum

Survey:
Is anyone participating in the new "*My Oracle Support Community*" Forums? I'm a bit confused as to the purpose of the forum since they cover virtually the same topics that are discussed here. I did do some research and found the following answers....
* The OTN (Oracle Technology Network) forums are not being replaced by the My Oracle Support Communities.
* Oracle Support does not participate in the OTN forums.
* Since the OTN forums are outside of My Oracle Support and used by participants who may or may not have Oracle Support, existing knowledgebase articles and bug records may not be leveraged to answer your inquiries.
* The OTN forum will continue and remain open to the public.
* Oracle built the My Oracle Support (MOS) communities to specifically help customers and partners that have support contracts*
* OTN is not part of customer support, though some of us support engineers have voluntarily contributed to it in the past.
Personally, I see the same type of topics/questions being discussed in both forums! ?:|

I believe the difference is that the Community Forum is moderated and you need a valid CSI number to access it. Overall this forum seems more active, but it looks as though Oracle Support Engineers may be more active in the Community one.

Welcome to Verizon Box box keeps popping up each time.

I just had Verizon installed and made Verizon my homepage. But each time I click on Internet Explorer and my homepage opens, a box opens up with "Welcome To Verizon". I've already gone over all the things I'm interested in in it and hit Close each time. But it keeps opening up each and every single time I go onto IE. I don't see any settings buttons to stop it from opening every time. Any advice would be welcome. It's very annoying! Angie
[edited fir privacy]

A simple solution would be to just change your home page to something other than Verizon. After all there is only so much news that verizon produces.
