Might be a denial of service attack. Extraordinary amount of new accounts and spam being generated this morning.

Is Adobe the only blue chip company to have this problem?  I haven't seen M$, Google, Yahoo, or even Oracle to have this problem.  Is adobe doing something about this?  How about hiring an outside consultant to have a look at the security issues.  Is our personal details safe with Adobe?

Why must this be so?

 

Why hasn't the problem been addressed?

 

Why are so few of the requests that were made been implemented since they were solicited years ago?

Hey Bob,

Are you really desperate to post something on these forums?  What do you want to post about?  Is there a specific problem you want to be dealt with (apart from these forums blown up in Asian Earthquake).  Surely, you can wait until tomorrow or try going to some other sites like Microsoft or Yahoo who all have forums to pass time!!!

I am not sick at all.  I am just amused that Adobe can't resolve this simple problem and yet it expects us to buy its products to solve our own problems!!

Mind boggles!!

Don't be insulting by suggesting that  I am "really desperate to post something on these forums."  I have made plenty of posts on the Lightroom forum and will continue to do so when appropriate.  However, this forum is the place to make comments on the Adobe forums so here I am.

Furthermore, my post has nothing to do with wanting to post here or anywhere else.  And certainly nothing to do with the tragedy in Japan.  I fail to understand why you would even mention that.

Many, many suggestions/requests were made by users when the latest incarnation of the Adobe user forums was being presented.  Very few of those requests have resulted in changes, which is probably due to Jive Software being in control.  I haven't seen much evidence to indicate that Adobe is any significant control.

So please excuse me if I ruffled your feathers.

Seems to be very safe. No one can get in to get it.

Look, you guys have to accept that Adobe has run out of ideas and telling us that it has received nearly 6,000 spam messages is just a smokescreen.  There are all the signs that it has a major problem with its infrastructure because you don't need a PhD to control 6,000 spam messages.

The sooner they move away from Jives the better it would be for its core business to make and support its products.

in most cases. If Adobe-Admin says something, I trust that to be what he believes.

a'yup.

I am experiencing right now delays of more than 30 seconds

when loading pages or posting messages, although times are randomly irregular.

Hello all, If my name isn't showing, I click on the "login"(top left), hit enter. This logs me in and my name shows. This has been working whether it is the Flash Forum site or a thread.

As for messages that won't post to the thread, I have been just copying and pasting my message before trying to "Post message" to notepad first. That way I can try again and it usually goes thru.

It may depend on what Server is being used, but that's been working for me today. I do know that from about 5PM EDT to after midnight, the Flash Player Forum is cooking on all burners:-)

The problem is dealing with 6,000 spam messages.  Apparently it is taking Adobe

longer than necessary because they are trying to do a through job!!!!

It may take another week before all 6,000 messages have been sorted out!  Now this called 21st century technology!

Do you know many ladies in IT dealing with spam messages?

why, yes. yes i do.

Mmmm... you obviously don't know women very well...

Jacob, now it is my turn to say that I haven't noticed anything unusual

in the last 18 hours... True, I haven't been all these 18 hours trying to connect to the forums, but I have visited them at least 6 times.
