    Where'd the 2.x and older posts go?

    Stan Jones CommunityMVP

      There is nothing here following the forum update (in the PPro 2.x and older forum), and I assume that what this means is that the old posts were not kept.  Can someone confirm that?  (I'm just dying to give my first "answered" award, but you have to have more authoritative information than my own well-reasoned conclusion, which I consider very probable.)

            Thanks for your response.

             

            I am looking for an authoritative response for this forum (on behalf of myself and others).  While I have spent some time in the new forum comments area, I know from posts in the Premiere forums that most users here have not (and will not).  Also, we don't know whether the decision about maintaining old posts is the same for different forums.

              Oy,

              Here we go again.

              I have now answeres either.

              So, I will go to others and see if there are any worthwhile answeres.

              Yours,

              Lost in Oz,

                Searches don't find recent "2.x and earlier" posts.

                 

                The CS3 and earlier makes no sense unless they meant to delete the 2.x and older forum.  I'll also say that the PPro forums were reorganized recently enough, and there are enough 2.x issues to warrant that as the "x and older."  There are many users sticking with CS3 and I think they should have left the PPro structure alone.

                 

                BTW, I coded your (Curt's) response as "helpful" (but not an answer) because it pointed to more information.  Now it says "possibly answered," which doesn't follow.  The new forum is interesting but not happy for me yet.  Lots of waiting, and having to find a new workflow that so far eludes me.  I wasa happy digest user, and I don't see such an option.

                  Hi Stan,

                   

                  I dont frequent the Pr 2 forum much so I cant tell if all the posts were moved into the CS3 and before forum.  Thats what Appears to have been done to me, but you would be able to tell better then me, I think.   I suspect while the forum was being upgraded they decided to do some housekeeping and reduce the number of forums.   Just guessing based on the evidence.

                    (I tried replying by email for the first time.  They say that is recommended.  Got sent back to me.)

                     

                    I'll check (as Dorothy suggested) in the "comments on the forums" area for more general info.  At one point, they were discussing removing all posts over some number of years old (2?).  I think that is more the issue than consolidating per se.  (Check out encore - in the new system, it would take a while to check all those subforums each day!)

                     

                    Anyway, my searches are not finding "Premiere Pro 2.0" which appeared in numerous posts that were here last week.

                        Stanely,

                         

                        I am in the same limbo, as you, regarding the older posts. I have yet to find any of them. Same thing happened to the PrElements forum. I'd done several articles (basically non-visual tutorials), and they are all gone too. A Search of the fora (don't get me started on the Search) yields nada. Google lists the old URL's (that I had bookmarked), but of course each link is now dead. In a few cases, I have re-posted the articles to another video-help site, and will just link to those.

                         

                        While it could well just be OE on my part, I think that Adobe just decided that the older (PrP2 and earlier) stuff was too much baggage. Pretty much the same thing happened with the previous forum redux. However, you were able to locate some of that stuff in the archive (thanks again for that). Maybe there is an archive someplace, that I have just not found yet.

                         

                        Keep up the good fight,

                          "I suspect while the forum was being upgraded they decided to do some housekeeping and reduce the number of forums. "

                           

                          Seems as if they did more than just reduce the number of fora - they evidently reduced the number of users' registrations because when I tried to log-in, I get the message that there's no record of my registration. Been on the forum since about 2001 with over a 100 postings!

                           

                          I simply re-registered using the same ID and password. Curt: Is there any way to reset my registration to the original start date?

                            Seems like Adobe went on the cheap. Old posts are gone which could solve issues for older versions. Can't even get updates to Adobe Media Encoder for PPro CS2. CS3 constantly jams and quits on me even with a new system. =(

                              Hi All,

                               

                              Very disappointing to hear there is no archive. I've recently tried to search for what I noted a 7 months back or so and can't find a bean. Only one post was carried over with my account within the Encore forum. Looks like as you say they just wiped the slate clean. If that is the case why create the forum again - just rely on the CS3 and older forum.

                               

                              Such a shame...
