John, unfortunately, I have noticed that more than a few people press the Reply button of the last posted message, regardless of whom they are replying to. So, a message may have been directly answered by a number of people and still remain editable. And so it can happen that the poster of that message edits it afterwards, making one or more of the already posted answers seem foolish, or at best unrelated with the discussion.

Only way out I can think of is trying to educate people who do not use the proper Reply button. Not a minor or easy task.

The survey ran in Feb/Mar/April of 2008. It was linked to from all forum pages on both systems.

John, now that you mention dates, yes, I seem to recall answering a survey by then. Howevere, my vague memories of it bring back reminiscences of questions of a general nature. In which my memory can be completely wrong of course...

Mark, I posted both announcements in the Spanish version of the ex-MM forum, frequented almost exclusively by NNTP users. They were perfectly aware of the situation before my messages, and were complaining bitterly of it ..., in that forum, in Spanish, with no mods/hosts, and no noticeable signs of anyone from Adobe ever visiting it. Unfortunately, as far as I can recall, nobody answered any of my two messages, probably because I wasn't very popular amongst regulars over there after I dared to suggest that they posted their protests over here, where there was some chance that they might get read. For this, they considered me as "sold to the enemy", the enemy being of course Adobe.

It is sad to see that, as far as my memory can tell (they all became "Newsreader_User"s after the fusion), not more than two or three of them have come to the new forums, and very occasionally at that.

for technical reasons. == it was hard to do.

<shrug> oh well.

you said 'do do'... <snicker>

I refer to Newsgroup_User as a Borg collective. I am #925 of 2006. (You have to turn on avatars to see where I got that number [lack of imagination]) Our points are STILL increasing while our posting count is decreasing. You will be assimilated when our points = 238,008 and our post count = 0.

May it be related in any way with September? And my points aren't increasing: I seem to specialize in answering questions by posters who never find their way backto where they posted...

There were test-forums but as alte as the latest weeks before the release of the real thing nobody could answer the question about if there would be a digest or not. Took pretty long to get an answer to if there even would be email-options (that answer I got a week before release on the Illsutrator forum). So there were testing but nobody actually knew if there would be digests or not even in the very end of testing.

this is good stuff! i hope someone's writing it down!

<gasp> that's only... 720670 in base 8!!!

Are the deleted forums for Adobe Audition going to be restored?  A whole swath of very useful discussions that were present before were not included in the current list of Audition forums.  Those forums constituted a very useful reference about the software and about audio recording, editing, mastering, etc., going back many years.  The discussions in the missing forums were not obsolete.

Are you sure you meant to reply to this particular thread, Wes?

…as if we didn't have enough problems already. 

>Thank you, I guess I will live with it for now.

Whom are you thanking?  For what?  Live with what?

>I shouldn't have upgraded my laptop.

How is this related to the missing Adobe Audition forums, or to the New Forum FAQ?

Did you write the message on a phone while simultaneously eating and driving?

About the file formats allowed in the attachments:

I know Microsoft is the root of all evil, but it would be nice to be able to upload a word processed file  (doc or even rtf) without having to convert it to txt and losing all the formatting.

Also could the forum allow uploads from Framemaker files?   I wanted to upload a template file in .fm  format but the system would not accept it. The forum also does not allow mif so I had to copy and paste the relevent parts of the template into my word processor, then convert the doc file to acrobat, and finally upload it.

Thank you,

Marjorie Lynch-Freshner

Thanks for the suggestion Eric.

However, I would like to see fm and mif allowed in the attachment list.

Thanks for the updates. (In the actual FAQ).

They don't appear until after the main page has rendered, so they must slow the overall response time down.
