Scott, Sorry, but I am not the one to vent at with regards to Adobe's website. I'm just a dumb engineer in the print group. I have no control or even any influence over the Adobe website.
In terms of reaching the "community forums" (a.k.a. the "User to User Forums"),
I got there with two clicks. From the Adobe home page, I clicked on the Help
button on the top line of the screen. Alternatively, in the middle of that home
page, there is a section labeled Help in which if you click either Find answers
fast, More, or Product help and support centers, you get directly to Adobe's
main support web page. From there, you can get directly to the Adobe User to
User Forums by clicking on the Join in button in the center of the page in the
Meet+Ask+Follow section. To find on-line support for particular products, there
are direct links to some of the major products and the rest of the products may
be accessed by clicking on More Products.
Quite frankly, from what I see, the current support page on the Adobe website
is significantly better than most of what we've had over the last few years.
And FYI, I don't navigate the Adobe website on a regular basis. Since you used
my name in vain in your message, I decided to simply see for myself how "bad"
it really was. Personally, I don't think that it is quite as bad as you make it
out to be. I had no previous coaching of what to look for to get where you
wanted to go and I got there in two to three mouse clicks. Would this be the
way I would personally design a website. Probably not, but then again, I am not
a website designer - thanks, I'll keep my day job.

Subject: Adobe Community Forums and Obtuse website
After not going to the Adobe website for several years, simply because I didn't
need any support, I visited it today.
Is it simply me in my old age or has Adobe gone one better than Microsoft in
making their corporate website TOTALLY unusable? I could not find any sign of
the community forums, nor could I easily find a link to the support area.
Dov, are you reading this?
I'm a long-time customer an Adobe has basically told me today that I am not
important to them. I refuse to buy Microsoft products because of that attitude.
Is Adobe set in making my experience with them the same as with Microsoft?
Tell your masters that programmers and marketing should NOT be allowed to
design interfaces, nor do they have an clue about how to satisfy customers.
I am incensed, frustrated, and extremely angry that I can't find the
Information that I need through their now non-existent support channel.
Scott
