1) Nobody likes BEING YELLED AT, so often we’ll just skip over the questions.
2) Give it time. I certainly do not sit like a vulture on top of the forums to answer any questions that pops up the moment it does. I don’t think many others do either. In fact, I read Creative Cow daily in digest form.
3) I do not know the answer to your problem. I have an idea, though. Don’t yell at me if it is wrong, though.
When Photoshop is waiting for a confirmation from you to finish a task, it disables most of the menu options. This might be what is going on with you. Look in the area just below the menu bar to see if there is a prohibited symbol (kinda like “Ø”) or a check mark. If there is, you must accept (check) or decline (Ø) the operation before you can do anything else.
So. If this isn’t the case in your situation, sorry. Maybe if you ask nicely and wait a reasonable time, someone else will answer.
