On May 1, our forum was offline for a major version update of our forum software. You probably noticed that the site looks very different than it did before! The upgrade went smoothly and we are excited to share the new features with you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q&A Technical Forum<\/strong>
\nOur technical forum<\/a> now follows a Q&A format. This change allows users to vote on answers, and the poster or a moderator can mark which one is correct. It’s also easy to see which questions don’t have an answer yet, so if you have suggestions or know the correct answer, head on over and help out your fellow community members.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Login Providers<\/strong>
\nWe’ve enabled logins via Twitter, which will make logging in and creating new accounts a lot easier and faster, so check that out. If you already have an account, you can link your Twitter account in your account settings. Another feature allows you to import or export (post to Twitter, Facebook, etc.) your status updates, and you will also be able to pull your profile picture from Twitter and add it to your forum account. We do have plans to expand and include Facebook and Google+ platforms in the future, but there are a few kinks to work out before that change is implemented.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you have any suggestions for us, let us know in the suggestions section<\/a>.<\/p>\n
