There are a lot of bugs in apple support communities, ASC.



--------------------------------------------------------------


Here is my ASC work flow...


1) I login.

2) Start an auto reloader.


Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out. The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense ;-) .

I use Firefox and ReloadEvery.

You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC. I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some logins. It's ASC. Change rccharles to your apple id.

3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.


4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.


turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:

5) Use turingtest2's generated links with the /content suffix as browser bookmark to the ASC discussions:

6) I run with Hiroto's modification to user content. This is the only way these forums are readable for me. How to adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages:

7) Read and answer my old posts. I kind of memorize the time I last posted. ( It's way bad that apple eliminated the last poster to a thread. )


8) I use tabbed browsering. From a list of discussions, hold down the command key then click on the link. You get two tabs this way. The original window will keep where you have been.

Here is the link to navigate around Apple Support Communities, ASC. Any help pages written by Apple are too confusing to use in my experience. I've never read them.

not work on my iPad

Here is my opinion on the topic. This is not a surprise at all. ASC is filled with bugs. ASC developers don't want to slow down progress by testing on all apple devices. iPad is considered a fairly new device by ASC so why should ASC support iPad.


Apple chose to use a contractor to implement the forums. It's called Jive. Jive is used by Adobe. Adobe forum users have the same complaints a Apple forum users.
