Forums

Hi Steve,

As you can see, the Forum places your old ID in brackets, denoting that it is not linked to a new Forum ID.

You'll need to log in with your Adobe ID.  Once you do, you can set your screen name to whatever you choose (so long as it's unique).  Your post count will start from scratch, however.

I'll enquire about what can be done to relink IDs at this point, but there may not be any possibilities at this stage.

No, sorry.  At this time there are no signatures.

Also note that custom avatars need to be approved manually, so it may be a few days before the initial rush can be checked and okay'd.

I don't think there's a definitive answer on either point yet.  Some of this stuff is still being sorted out.

I'm really enjoying them too.  Despite a few issues (such as a lack of tracking viewed posts) the ability to add attachments, video links, and to post scripts without having them mangled, make this a welcome upgrade for me.

For those who aren't aware, the fixed-width look of this forum is easily changed to flexi-width if you use Firefox as your browser.  And you can remove avatars if you want to the same way.

I've copied these instructions from a post by John T Smith in the General Forums section, and edited the scripts to work with the new Forum, rather than the test version from a few weeks ago.

First, you need the Stylish 0.5.9 FF plug-in which you can get from:

Then Eric and Mark Boyd's Scripts

There are two parts:
Eric's "Force Full Browser Width":

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("forums.adobe.com") {

#jive-wrapper {
width:100% !important;
background-color: #ffffff !important;
background-image: none !important;
}

}

-------------- 
And Mark's (which I have named "Death to Avatars" in my installation!

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("forums.adobe.com") {
#jive-wrapper {
width:100% !important;
background-color: #ccc !important;
background-image: none !important;
}
#jive-body-main {
background-color: #ccc;
}
.jive-thread-reply .jive-thread-reply-body-container {
background-color: #ddd !important;
}
.jive-author-avatar-container {
display: none !important;
}
}

Here's an example of the difference on a 1680-wide monitor::
