Hi osgood

You are correct the forum is now so slow, (2 mins. just to log-in and 3mins to load the reply page) that I will rarely even bother trying to use it now. I do check if it has improved occasionally, but until it does !!!

BTW: This is my third attempt to post this reply, had to log-in each time, etc. etc.

Hi guys and girls, thanks for your replies.

Ok, so it's not just me that is struggling with it then.

Adobe need to improve this if they want to provide an environment where their valued clients can get some help.

They seem to be quick at removing my posts when I swear a lot so maybe they can show just as much urgency on a more important matter but I won't be betting my house on it.

Hi,

strange, right? After all, you/we take away a lot of work from the ADOBE's! Actually, they should not neglect the forum!

Go to http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments and read in the message thread I started, which has March 14 in the title

The problem is known... the solution is not

Thanks John,

At least that thread has shed a bit more light on the issue for me. Never have liked the Jive driven forum anyway. It's always been slow compared to the original Macromedia Dreamweaver NTTP forum, which was jet propelled.

Don't know why Adobe insist on all the bells and whistles when quite clearly 75% of the time it fails. Personally I'd just prefer the barebones but fast and I know many other users who regularly post with solutions to peoples problems do to. It's driven a lot of knowlegable people away over the years, yet another black mark against Adobe. Instead of driving people away they should be harnessing their willingness to provide free help and at least give us a decent place to carry out the work for them.

Back when the old forum software went away, there were two (I think, could have been more) main things that were missed

First was speed due to the old forum being "mostly" text without a lot of formatting (which takes time to "draw" on the screen before the actual message appears) plus (more important... to me) the feature that when you went back to a discussion, you were at the point you left, not at the beginning so you always have to search for where you last read

The reason given at the time was that the old software was about to collapse under the weight of the past and new message base... so Jive was going to be better

In practice, Jive seems to have a whole host of new problems, so nothing has really improved
