Community Feedback: New Forum Software Is Live!
We are excited to announce that we are live on our new forum platform!
It’s been a long time coming. Let’s face it. Sometimes older forum technology lags behind other parts of the internet. Although seeing the same format for a long time is comforting, the member experience shouldn’t include dealing with outdated, unsafe, slow software.
The transition to a new platform will never be 100% smooth but the days of dealing with out of date forum software are over. We have teams dedicated to building a world-class community for you. The development has been steady with regular software releases since May 2019. Asking members for feedback and coming up with ideas for improvement is what we want.
Speed and Reliability Are Key
No one should have to wait for information. This site has been built to be much faster and more reliable, period.
New Homepage Experience
Our algorithm will serve a personal customized feed based on your prior engagement with content on the site. If you’ve liked and or commented, or are following certain topics that are of interest to you, similar content will appear at the top of the homepage.
Search
We have introduced new search algorithms, powered by an industry-leading AI platform, to help you find information faster. We plan to roll out new features to continue improving search, and to power many additional areas of the forum.

Due to the volume of content, our search platform may take some time to complete indexing over the first few days after migrating. During this process, you may see a limited number of posts until indexing has been completed. We appreciate your patience.
Finding Your Way Around
We have made the design clean and simple to use. Near the upper right-hand corner of the community, you will see navigation icons.
The first icon is for what’s new on the site.

Clicking on it, by default, will take you to new unread posts. On that page, you can click on additional tabs as well, such as Popular, if you prefer to view active topics.

Dark Mode
We have introduced Dark Mode. One of our favorite features allows you to access the site with a power-saving, and easier on the eyes dark mode. You can access it in the drop-down menu under the 3 vertical dots.
Save Bookmarks

We also wanted to make it easier for new users to understand the lingo of forums. We have cleaned up various language to more commonly recognized phrases including:
Please keep all feedback, questions, concerns, requests for help, etc. regarding the new platform right here in this Feedback thread. This will help us make sure not to miss a request for help and also let us pass along your thoughts to our Product team. The Admins and I will be here to help along the way taking note of your comments.

We also wanted to make it easier for new users to understand the lingo of forums. We have cleaned up various language to more commonly recognized phrases including:
- Following - Thread subscriptions, and Watched are now known as Following
- Conversations - Private Messages or PMs are now conversations and can be accessed from the user avatar drop-down in the main navigation
- Showcase - Showcase is designed for users to "showcase" items/projects through the use of uploaded images, text descriptions and custom content categories. It’s a way to visually and textually provide detailed information on the content you wish to share. The showcase would be similar to a catalog, whereas the gallery would be like a photo album. It can be accessed from the drop-down menu with the 3 dots.

Happy Happy! ThanksIt was my birthday Friday, and I took the entire weekend off to spend some time doing absolutely nothing.
There are still quirks on the showcase page. It looks like the filter is not working correctly. If you select prefix of workshop without any other criteria you only get 3 workshops. I also tried to use the filter to find my projects for example and it did not find any. The problem seems to be that "prefix" is not handled correctly, which means cannot really use the filter by category. Note that if you add my creator id to the URL when you select the projects category it works and the good news is that the pagination work correctly. Here is the URL that the filter should have created when I tried to filter for my projects.The pagination issue/bug with the Showcase categories (Journals, Projects, and Workshops) should now be resolved.
And here is the one that was created by the filter.
I am not 100% certain prefixes are fully set up. I will mess with it more tomorrow.There are still quirks on the showcase page. It looks like the filter is not working correctly.
