as I posted in reply to bob's alert, you "...may be experiencing something I had happen... a permanently broken thread. I had no documentation as it was broken to me and I really had no burning need to work around or start a new issue. may be that time, but I will need to give it some thought on how one might collect usable data. will cross post this in the new thread and address the 'dead links' EDITcorrected = 'deadends' - endEDIT issue he raises - not dead per se, but the SafariReloader is being slammed by Safari7/Mavericks and the author is unwilling to take time to fix it, but has posted source code for anyone interested in fixing it. I know of at least a couple folks using it and wonder if indeed it is incompatible as they claim. The FF 'ReloadEvery' seems to be alive and well."
As to the FF 'ReloadEvery' being alive and well, I did nothing but navigate to the page linked. What seems to be the issue there?
If you are interested in helping document the 'permanently broken thread' issue, let me know and I will devise a strategy for data collection. If not, no worries as it is a rare thing and is probably rooted deep in the SiteWare's script/database collaboration where we users are unable to tread.
let us know about FF ReloadEvery though. I can't imagine Mavericks being able to break a Mozilla based browser/extension combo.
best regards

Was this the broken thread? Seems to be working for me, at present.
Even edit worked!

wasn't ME the thread was broken for, but the OP of this one (#2 continuation)
broken = Cannot post - User ' ' is banned from posting. -- it was about asafhan (or whatever the name is)... remember, only broken for user 'CBFilms'
I do not know what efforts CBFilms made to solve the issue, BUT it has happened to me as a replier on at least two others. It is clearly associated with the user AppleID.
Another anomaly recently is 'disappearing posts' - one gets an email notice, navigates to reply, shows the post as "last post" at the top, but no post present. I have had this twice today. And yes, not being my first rodeo, I tried all clearing, restarting, etc. - still no joy. As a Guest, post is present, as ME, it is gone. The solution I found is to post any reply to any other post and voila!... missing post magically appears! I think the JiveCoders have fixed some things and inadvertently caused some new ones. As a coder from way back, it is not uncommon for that to happen.
I, like bob, have come to the conclusion that we are stuck with a system so 'seasoned to Apple's taste' that it will never work completely right. JiveSoftware provides enterprise community solution to lots of big outfits, in a much more robust way (the way it was designed) - as we are not privy to their communities, we'll never be able to compare.
buenos noches

Nov 18, 2014 6:14 PMby rccharles,I was unable to view this discussion earlier today although viewing now.
Adobe uses Jive forums in about the same way as ASC. Similar set of problems to ASC.

I was a software developer in the day too. I'm not kind hearted towards ASC. There is this idea of functional testing and usability testing that is messing from ASC
