What is the forum - forum?

In the "English New Forums Discussions" forum, I just saw this comment by Dorothy K:
If people what their comments seen, and more likely answered, the main comments section that the forum staff and developers are watching is at http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments
referring to this forum.
If this is official ( Dorothy is not tagged as "Adobe" ), then please fix the entry on this page:
http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa
Sub-section "General Forums"
It has links for both "Forum Comments" and "New Forum Discussions", where the latter should apparently be "deprecated" while IMO it at least sounds "newer".
Please also leave a message whether we should re-post here

She's tagged now. For better or for worse. (There will be varying opinions, most of which don't interest me.)
The latter was (still is) the discussion about the new forum software during the preview period, before the software went "live" officially today.

  • What is the best forum for "hard" questions ?

    Hi,
    First let me say this is a great forum for flex questions...
    But, I'm working on some "unusual" problems and my questions don't get answered. I think I may not be on the correct forum.
    Any suggestions on another forum to address the more complex issues ?

    Does anyone know of a user group that meets regularly to discuss SUN ONE UDS ?in the UK ?

    All printer manufacturer's play "catch-up" with OS revisions.  If a printer doesn't work immediately with the latest OS, you should check the manufacturer's website.  Here's a laugh: I purchased an Epson EPL-5700i monochrome laser printer a dozen years ago, for "only" $500.  With all of the changes in Macs and the OS, I've never been not able to use the printer.  Either Apple or the vendor has made printer driver software available seamlessly.

  • What is the difference btwn Reader and Acrobat Pro?

    Hello,
    My Requirement in broader sense: I am developing an VISITOR Info. Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP)
    When i opened this VISITOR interactive form in a browser, right clicking and checked form PROPERTIES, then i saw the "PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)" (pls. let me know what is the correct forum for me to post my questions)
    My 1 sub-set of my Requirement: Front desk guy want to open this VISITOR Info form and enters addresss details + attaches some ID proof photo copy of JPEG format + Writes some COMMENTS in the form
    Pls. let me know
    1) is my software inventory is enough to go ahead and develop a interactive form (as mentioned VISITOR Info)? or do i need any more software?
    2) I saw Acrobat Pro version 10.x.......do i need this softaware as well to get my requirement done (VISITOR Info)?
    3) What is the difference between Reader 9.0 and Acrobat Pro 10.x?
    Thank you

    Thank you.
    Yes, here am confusing! If i create the forms with Acrobat, then, why do i need LiveCycle designer?
    Pls. let me      know what do you mean "Create forms", is it like writing a letter/some text like MicroSoft word doc and finally saving it on our local machine/desktop?
    THank you

  • What's wrong with the new forum design.

    Thought I'd kick off the list here.
    1. O.P. can award a correct answer to themselves.
    2. Status stays hidden unless checked, making it hard on both newbies and those trying to help them
    3. No advanced search (that I can find) I've given up even trying to look, and users aren't even aware of it
    4. Difficult to see what you have or haven't replied to
    5. Can't see very far back in the threads
    6. Huge waste of space on useless quote bubbles
    7. Trying to edit your own settings takes you round in circles
    8. Where is the forum how-to and guide?
    9. Absurd to ask users to search without a suggested list to work from, the Pages iPad users are constantly landing in the wrong forum
    10. I hate the default of sending email advisories and Safari messages of answers in the forum. My Mail Inbox is inundated and I am getting constant pop-ups interrupting my work on my Mac.
    …many more but I'd like to let others add to the list
    BTW I give 2 thumbs up to the improved post formatting options, but that was a long overdue catch up to other forums.

    Don't have time to answer all of this, but here's a start...
    1. O.P. can award a correct answer to themselves.
    Useful when they've come up with the correct answer themselves. (OPs can't award themselves points, though.)
    3. No advanced search (that I can find)
    https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa (or click the blue Search button in the top right of any page without entering any text in the search field)
    4. Difficult to see what you have or haven't replied to
    The equivalent of My Posts is here:
    8. Where is the forum how-to and guide?
    https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/index.html
    10. I hate the default of sending email advisories and Safari messages of answers in the forum. My Mail Inbox is inundated and I am getting constant pop-ups interrupting my work on my Mac.

  • What the **** is going on in the ABAP forums?!

    I've been away from SDN for a few months due to work comitments and am only just starting to browse regularly again...
    I can't believe how bad the standard of questions and answers in the ABAP-General forum has got.  I thought it was as bad as it could get but i was wrong.  Simple, repetitive questions.  Massive cut and paste answers that often have nothing to do with the question.  Everyone saying Please reward with points often after supplying a wrong/inacurate/irrelevant answer.  Constant streams of interview questions.  Same answers being copied and pasted again and again by different people...  The problems go on and on and we've seen them all before, yet it still seems like hardly anything is being done about it.
    Seriously, what is the point?!  I know the moderators must be hard pushed to manage it all but isn't there a way to clean it up a bit please?  It's painful to browse at the moment.
    As far as I'm concerned, the forums are a bit of a waste of time and space at the moment as the content is so watered down with rubbish unless you are about to write your first ABAP program they are of no use to anyone.
    Gareth.

    I'm glad this topic still gets a lot of interest and there are still people on here who are actually bothered.
    Rob, I think your answer is my favourite and is certainly the one my colleagues and I come up with the most.
    As pointed out, there will always be people who are too lazy/uneducated/short of time/whatever to do their own job or to research a problem they are having.  Nothing we can do will ever make that go away.  The issue is how we react and deal with it.
    I don't believe charging for SDN is the answer - a lot of people will move back to SAPFans.com and/or other sites and as someone else has said, people will feel they have the right to post the rubbish if they are paying.
    We've all been over this topic numerous times and on each occaision a common output is everyone wants to see more and stricter moderation.  I honestly believe a moderating approach similar to SAPFans.com would help a great deal in cutting out the root cause - things like people asking for points and people posting CV's are symptoms or effects of the fact original posters are allowed to ask stupid questions or ask for fake resumes.  Things like using "Hi" in the subject of a message or not bothering to search before asking what regular SDN contributors/readers know is a common question can all be cut out with simple moderation.
    So we come back to moderation of the forums - something we've gone over time and time before.
    Blag, I can see you have been sorely missed in the forums - you were still very active last time I was on regularly and I can see a big difference between then and now.  Although you may feel like it is an uphill struggle you were obviously making a big difference.  It's a shame there aren't more of you
    Nick, I've just seen your response whilst writing this and you raise an interesting point I've not considered before about managers having an input in the use of SDN.  I think the problem here is that (certainly in my opinion) the majority of the noise appears to originate from off-shored resource which typically will be quite removed from their customer/manager/employer.  In some ways I've always considered the explosion of the IT market in India for example to be working against itself - there appears to be more jobs that suitably qualified workers leading to the state we have now of fake CV's and people in jobs who don't know what they are doing.  I'm guessing management in this scenario will be happier to have a team of people producing all of their work with SDN's help rather than a team of fully certified, heavily experienced consultants who are too expensive to obtain any off-shoring work...
    I also agree that removing the points system won't necessarily solve all of the perceived problems - again I think points abuse is something else stricter moderation could help to remove.
    Anyway, before I really get on my soapbox I'm going to stop rambling
    Gareth.

  • 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.

  • What is the time used in these forums?

    One would tend to assume that the time shown in these forums (for example, the posting times) refer to the USA, although this could be wrong. However, there are (I think) four different time zones in that country. Maybe for the natives it is quite clear what "8:13 AM" means, but it is not at all clear for at least this one inhabitant of another country. Even acronyms such as EPT (I am not sure if I recall this correctly from the old forums) don't mean much to me.
    Wouldn't it be a good idea to specify in some clear way what time being used in these forums?

    My reason for asking is that some things simply don't check. At the time of writing this message, the first topic in the list was the "What are forum points..." one, with 35 replies and the last one by Jhabrix 9 minutes ago. However, if I open the thread, I see that the last message is #35 (i.e., no posts have been deleted), it is posted by Jhabrix, but at 11:51 AM. As it's now a few minutes past 2 PM here, that's quite a lot more than 9 minutes...
    Claudio, it's just like I said before, all of the information produced by Jiveware is unreliable--more often wrong than not.  I'm not even joking around now.  It goes for virtually every statistic and piece of automated information here (because it's the most buggy software known to man ).  They just don't test enough, they obviously don't care, and they sure as heck can't write correctly functioning software.  The whole forum, front and backend, appears to be behave like an overengineered software mess.
    (There's a Java backend on this trash.  And Java developers wonder why everyone thinks they are incompetent... since there are so many Java devs around--being the most popular language--there's always people like the Jive script kiddies to give the ones that know what they're doing a bad name.)
    As for the time it's using, it probably syncs up to the time on Planet Jive--where even the Jives can't agree on what time it is because every answer is "correct"!

  • What are the most common questions in the forums?

    I have my own ideas about what are the questions we see asked over and over and over again in here. Everyone post your ideas here so we can compile a FAQ and maybe post it somewhere (Virum, your new site? :) )

    Please do my homework/coursework/think for me
    This has to be by far the most common type of question asked on the forums.
    Classpath questions
    HashCode questions
    Pointer vs Reference Debate (totally spurious but people spew 100's of pages arguing about something that is perfectly obvious)
    A very good Thread that is probably 1000's of entries long by now is the
    "How to get your questions answered promptly" one (or however this is called). A recap of that published somewhere would be of tremendous value, especially if it was presented as a page you had to go through before landing in the forums to post your latest "Java Challenge" aka "do my coursework" on the boards.

  • 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

  • What is the criteria for MVP Status in these forums?

    In a thread I engaged in recently...a name popped up that I had never seen anywhere  in my long involvement on these Forums ( particularly Premiere)
    The name has 30 points credited to it and 'MVP +' status.
    Whats my 4785 points worth..." chopped liver"  
    The point and MVP system is meaningless jive arse talk.

    Your post got me curious. I tracked down the person you are talking about.
    You ready to laugh?
    That's JerryK. He was here before we were. Back in the days when he and Darcy moderated the Premiere forums.
    So, just a screen name change. Nothing mysterious. Just an old friend with a new, more complete, moniker.
    I hope you are enjoying your summer. Have a great day!
