The Adobe User to User forums are about to get a complete overhaul. One big step forward will the combination of the former Macromedia forums with the long time Adobe product and discussion forums.
If this sounds familiar to long time forum regulars it’s because it’s been tried before. The most recent effort was October of 2007 and was nothing short of a total disaster. Previous efforts were nothing to write home about either. Only time will tell whether this will effort will be successful.
About 18 months of recent history will be brought forward when the new forums launch and Adobe is offering an opportunity to test drive the new forums here. You can post questions and answers but all posts during the test drive period will be removed when the new forums officially go live.
If you’re registered to use the current forums you’ll need to associate that registration with a new Adobe ID. If you’ve purchased anything from the Adobe Store or used other features such as Acrobat.com, you’ve already got one and the association will only take a moment or two.
This won’t be possible after the new forums launch so you must login to the current forums and follow the posted instructions for doing so. If you don’t have an Adobe ID, you’ll need to register to use the new forums.
For InDesign users, one change, besides the interface, that will be noticed is that the Mac and Windows forums will be combined. Since most questions are platform independent and most of the regulars post in both this shouldn’t cause any problems.
