      Well, in the new forum, you have to agree to their terms and conditions




Same as here. So again, what has changed?

      It is a "Sudden Issue" because we were NOT posting images DIRECTLY on
      Adobe's website before; but were only posting a line of html code that
      Linked to images that were hosted elsewhere.





      Adobe's only claim to "Content posted on their Site" in that case was
      limited to a line of html text � and much good would that do them!




Ann provides the answer - it is the ability to actually upload the content to Adobe's servers which is new. Ann's response implies that the existing terms of service, and the even more photographer-unfriendly ones which preceded them, do not apply to images displayed via links. So if one accepts her view, then there is no concern over images linked to in these forums, or images linked to in the new forums, but the concern only applies to actual uploaded content. Therefore, we can all carry on as before - just don't upload content. No need for the photography forum to die (getting back on topic...).

Now Ann's clarification explains why nobody was concerned over their existing agreement to the existing terms of service, or those existing prior. What it doesn't explain is why Adobe would have put those clauses into their terms given that it wasn't possible to upload images to the Adobe forums before (I don't know about the MM ones, I admit).
