Adobe Forums | Update your bookmarks
Posted by Vikrant in Creative Cloud on April 12, 2013
Last weekend, we were doing some streamlining down at the Adobe Forums. Nothing much, basic house cleaning, and other mundane stuff. Overall you should get a better experience, when you visit the forums. However, a few forums were renamed or moved around, and as a result, if you had bookmarked any one of those, you’ll receive an error that Item does not exist. The forums are still live and well, you’ll just need to update your bookmarks.
- Go to http://forums.adobe.com/
- Navigate to your forum.
- Update your bookmarks.

Again, sorry for any inconvenience caused. Please help spread the word around so that everyone knows. See you back the forums!

Plus, Creative Cloud members automatically get access to new products and exclusive updates as soon as they’re released.

Creative Cloud
Adobe Creative Cloud offering makes a compelling value proposition. You can read my initial thoughts when Creative Cloud was announced.
Creative Cloud for teams
Running a successful business is a team effort. Several folks and experts are required to deliver exceptional content to customers. If you’re part of a small work group, or even work with a distributed team of users, this might be the solution you’re looking for. Managing and allocating licenses to team members is at best an administrative nightmare. But not any more!
Membership to Creative Cloud for teams includes everything you get in an individual Creative Cloud membership, plus tools for managing purchases, increased storage capacity per user, and expert services. Creative Cloud for teams is an offering that provides multiple users access to all of the apps, services, and more. It also provides services for publishing websites, iPad apps, and more. Every seat also gets 100GB cloud-based storage for effective collaboration.
You can purchase Creative Cloud for teams, and manage it centrally. Best of all, membership means that all your team members get access to new applications and feature updates as soon as they are released. This also provides a standard platform, where all team members have access to same version and feature, and removing the risk of facing fragmentation and associated incompatibilities.
