Jun 25, 2009I just want to reiterate this comment since it didn't seem to make the list:
Pat Willener wrote in #42:
But when code is posted, the font is so large that it is near impossible to read; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/999038 for an example.
The font size of posted code is so huge it's really annoying. This is especially annoying bceause frequently lines of code are long, and then users have to scroll or wrap to read them. If anything the code should be smaller, but definitely not larger.
Example:
I assume this is an easy CSS change. (I don't suppose CSS changes can be made off-cycle...)
Also, while I'm here, we seem to have lost the ability to add
?decorator=print&displayFullThread=true to a thread in the UI. This was awfully handy when you want to scan a multipage thread to find a post (as I just did now, looking here for Pat's and any comments on it). I suppose it's fine if you can remember the strings to add, but it'd be nice to have them back (was it called print-friendly view? I can't even remember...ah , "View print preview" according to google's cache).
Edit: Bah, it's annoying having to put screenshots inside tables to give them borders so you can distinguish them...

John, the Reply button does not take me to the last message in the thread. As I reported in my message #180 above, if I use the Reply button on yout opening message of this thread, I am always taken to messge #48. And when I used it now to reply to your message #185, I was taken to message #199:
In my opinion, there is something not working properly here, and the problem was there before the recent changes. I have reported it several times, but nobody seems to notice or care.

Dec 23, 2006Any chance of having the editor work right for entering anything besides plain text?
Any chance of getting the tiny fonts on the Discussions page back to a readable size?
Any chance of getting the font back to where it doesn't jam against the following text when one uses italics?
Any chance of differentiating unread vs. read posts better visually again?
Any chance of not having every update go through a transition where the whole forum looks like crap until people clear their caches?
Any chance of...
Isn't it becoming clear it's pretty much hopeless?
Adobe should be ashamed that it takes them months and no doubt huge sums of money to improve basic stuff that a junior web programmer with a vague knowledge of CSS and any sense at all about what looks right and wrong should be able to fix in a few minutes.

Glad to hear about the points
Thanks for the old skin screen shot. A real moment of nostalgia
It might look much more old fashioned / and not fit into the modern style of the Adobe site but it was much brighter and more pleasurable rather than the grey and miserable new one.Maybe if 500 people reply in suport of this view then the world could become a brighter place again.
Noel I get the impression your not too chuffed about they way things are going.

From Nostalgia to Deja vu
Nice to see the light colors back.
You might want to consider putting all the "info" and "response" stuff in the wide bar at the top (save's on scrolling in long posts with numerous replies)
On second thoughts, obviously there is an advantage of having the "reply.." at the end of the post, one should after all reply after reading the post! So the options, reply, helpful, answered and edit should go on ONE LINE at the bottom of the post and the rest of the stuff, avatar, # of posts, date of membership, points
, post num, status (employee, commoner) ,date of post in reply to at the top.Anyway here's a little piccy of my first thought

I think the people don't know how to design anything.
If I was Adobe I would some people in house that knows what they are doing and fire Jive.
Now they tinkered with setup now and looks like this.
Note I add my annotations to point out what is and whats should be.
Reduce the sizes so they will be all on one line, or set remove the size setting so they will shrink or expand as they are needed. Or if you must stay in stone ages set the width sufficient That everything will be on one line.
As someone else said Arrrrrr!

Hi,
It might be worthwhile updating the Known Issues list and striking off resolved issues.
I am still seeing some issues where the breadcrumbs list is long, it clashes with the Your Stuff links:
Also inconsistent styling of buttons, in particular in the Advanced Editor and Message windows:
Thanks,
Niall

Thanks Claudio,
But I had cleared Chrome's cache (on Mac), quit and reopened, but still have the above issues. Eg edit message buttons:
I have also gone to a Windows machine with IE9 and done the same thing. Cleared the cache, but to no effect. I still see the three issues:
- Clashing of long breadcrumb links with your stuff links.
- The Send button not skined in the Message window.
- The Send and Cancel buttons not skined in the Edit window.
Strange, must be something in the water over here ;-)
Niall
