Just started with a decent firm in Atl. a few weeks ago. My colleague was talking to me about how he's been submitting cleaned resumes through application portals on client job post sites. I know I'm new at this, but I don't know if that's acceptable practice or not. Any thoughts?

Doing a job search using the company computers on company time tends to fall into the 'career limiting event' category.
While most companies do not care too much about where you surf online, if your friend screws up and they pull a proxy log that's all 'Monster and CareerBuilder' then the company would be more likely to give him 'all the time he needs' to find a new job after they escort him from the premises....
In some places, you are required to sign an agreement that you won't solicit client companies for work. I think in general, it is considered to be a no-no even if an agreement isn't in place.
Having said that, I have been off the job market for a couple of years, and things may have changed.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
