This is a friendly request not to cross-post questions on multiple forums at the same time. If you post on another forum and don't get the answer you need, please feel free to post it here after a reasonable length of time, or better still, post here first and then try elsewhere if we can't help.
If we recognize a thread from another forum, we'll post a link to the other thread so that those reading are aware of the other thread. Why? 2 reasons:
1. It can create a far bigger mess for you!
Conflicting troubleshooting steps from different forums create confusion and could even make things worse. If we're trying to help you untangle a mess, someone else from another forum changing things at the same time can really create chaos!
2. It wastes the time of those trying to help.
Imagine you ask a question on 2 different forums (i.e. here and the Adobe forums). Person A finds it on Forum A, stops what they're doing, spends a little time checking a few things in order to answer. But while they've been doing that, Persons B&C find it on Forum B, who also stop what they're doing and spend a little time checking a few things in order to answer. Eventually Person A comes back and whoever gets to them first gives them the answer. The issue? The other 2 people who were so willing to help have wasted their time. Or you get 2 conflicting answers!!
And then if the same people are frequenting both forums, which is often the case is such a specific area of discussion such as Lightroom, then they're also wasting their time reading it in both locations, and the conversations in both locations become disjointed.
