Listing of several issues with using this portal presently.
It is no longer possible to upload Captivate Projects since a while. I replace them by a link to a published version on my domain but not everyone has that feature. It is also not possible anymore to offer a cptx-project. Will post it in Creative Cloud and share the link.
Moreover since a couple of days I often get WordPress errors as well, inviting me to turn on debugging. It happens on all browsers. I lost already a lot of comments typed in, maybe this one as well. This is more recent than the uploading issue.
Notifications are down since a couple of days.
Something is wrong with the scores as well. My lifetime score is much lower than the score of the last year, not logically. But the whole scoring system is bit tricky: why is the score of a ‘like’ attributed to the liker, not to the author of what is liked, which is the normal rule in any other forum.

Portal was down for more than 24hrs. Partially fixed now, but lifetime points are still much lower than year score for me (I am helping on forums since 12 years).
It is not about making too much noise, which you seem to be expert at. It may have the reverse effect. There has been serious problems, and I respect the hard work the team has been doing.
Well that’s passive-aggressive! But, I’m no longer surprised at the negative comments that you direct to me. It only upsets me when I learn that you’ve harassed a newer Captivate user who has simply tried to contribute. Ironically I started to contribute to this thread because I was agreeing with you on your concerns. As usual you managed to turn it into a disagreement.
This reply was not at all for you, but for another user DO… I sincerely apologize, do not know why this comment end up in a totally different thread from the Adobe forums where I answered to that other user who did repeat the same complaint in many threads.
You probably will not believe me, although it is the truth.
It is not the place to discuss this. In the Adobe forums there many clarification has been given to the ACPs. There is a place where you can deposit blogs or videos, which is not very well visited, but you need approval of each post. Look around: is anyone else posting a link to a resource which is not an answer to a question?
You have advantages as ACP, as you are aware. I rarely get jobs linked to my activity anywhere. Today it is clear that it is not the goal of this site to help influencers find jobs.
Why do I help users? Because I learn a lot from them as well and that is my attitude. Not even any ad on my blog, which has a lot of daily views…
You can “share helpful services and products if they are of use to the original poster, but we must ensure that any costs associated with their usage are clearly stated” (copied from the ACP etiquette document). If being an ACP (or whatever you want to call it when we are on this site) had no benefit to you or me, why do it at all? I think it’s fair to let the people know we are helping that we do offer consultation or instruction if their needs are more. That’s all I’ve ever done. For example, my YouTube videos are free to watch. Yes, I get some dollars for ad revenue, but what I hope is that one or two of the thousands of folks who watch my videos might need more and consider hiring me for that assistance. When Shambu ran the community, he told me that one of the community’s goals was to help community leaders like you and me be more successful in this area. That is why they would showcase our blogs and videos; obviously, if you and I get benefits from contributing to the community, we will do it more frequently and more often.
