the latest CS down-grade included the forums skins...(and some of the lost functionality is just, well, collateral damage).

apparently the popcorn/meatballs are coming back...soon...the engineers are working hard to meet the users demands as usual.

Another thing that has gone wrong is that you can no longer see who is replying to whom unless a quote has been included.

I couldn't care less about the popcorn but it's useful in to-and-fro banter to know who is responding to which message. Definitely needs fixing.

PrepressPro1, this may look like a response to your post, but I actually clicked on Carlos's Reply button, which you only know because I tell you so. I could tell you that I'm referring to post number 1, but there's no number to go by, so you couldn't find it.

Well the meatballs and popcorn points are meaningless without the popcorn!

What  good are they if you don't some free popcorn?

I agree seeing who the reply was made to is sueful in a community conversation.

why wouldn't it rise? is not December 22 yet.

Hi Jacob. Good someone hopes to mend this mess.

I still don't understand why they had to make a willocks of something that didn't need changing in the first place.

The legibility is much worse than it was, the letter font is horrible and I hate cyan on grey (not to mention grey on grey).

And please stop asking "Was this helpful?"

If it were helpful you would probably reply with a 'thank you' to the helper anyway. And if it wasn't, you wouldn't, so why the buttons?

Keep our fingers crossed for Thursday and hope we don't get "Owing to circumstances beyond our control, Thursday will not take place.".

I think I should mark CarlosCanto's answer as the correct one.

yey!! popcorn!! wait...doesn't matter anymore

Carlos is right if they don't get this done by December 12, 2012 that's it no more we are all out of here!

Since they seem to have forgotten to give us most of the settings and filters (view threaded, sort by most helpful...) I imagine those clicks fall into a box at Jive HQ right next to the box that holds all our criticisms.  I gave you a "helpful." Any sign at your end? (and it appears that I can vote twice!)

Carlos: I marked yours as Helpful, so now laughing at people who ask people to stop being unhelpful is helpful.

Or something in that direction. Let's try to tie Big Brother in knots.

thanks Steve, sorry I couldn't help it, I thought it was a good joke..

I assume that the "Was this helpful?" votes have an important functionality which is not transparent to the users, otherwise it wouldn't be there. Two reasons which I think might be applicable are:

1. Answers with helpful votes get priority in the search engine, so that these answers are at the top of the list of search results

2. The "helpful answers" serve to demonstrate return on investment. The forums cost money, so Adobe needs to know how many customers are being helped by them in order to justify the investment.

I think it is evident that the new forum interface was programmed by people who have no clue about forums. What I can't understand is why it was launched in this state.  Apparently there was a beta run with some chosen community members who must have given their feedback on the most obvious bugs.

Hi guys.

It's Thursday and they've almost unmended what they mended when it wasn't broken.

But the popcorn and meatballs ain't there yet. Reckon the chef must still be on holiday. :-)

Haha wow, look at the current forum update . . .

Hmm, text is crisp on my end. Windows 7 x64, Firefox.

The main page sucks. Can barely tell a visited thread apart from an unvisited/updated thread.

Hey Jesseham, I'm also on Safari and 10.6.8 (that makes two of us!), but everything appears sharp here. Your screen shot appears blurry when inline with your message, but when I click on it to get the lightbox graphic I get the same sharpness as I see on my screen.

I'm wondering if you've zoomed in by mistake with Universal Access (see if it's on in System Preferences). Try pressing Cmd-Alt minus to zoom out.
