I cower as I write and ask this but I didn't find any clear answers. Will forum be proprietary software (Adobe designed?) or something like vBulletin?

Sorry if I'm duplicating questions here.

    I don't know about you guys, but I like the new forum format better.

    You're in a minority of 1.

    That tends to happen a lot when March follows February!

    That link to message 13 was very interesting. It is interesting that the changes not only started on the 13th, but the detailed list of items was message #13. I hope John's desire for 13 to be lucky holds up. He mentioned that he did not like avatars at first, but they are growing on him a bit. His comments at least gave a neat view of the forum desires from his perspective. Thanks for the link.

    No, not at all.

    Read the forum changes FAQs, please.

    Thank you. I don't believe I've seen a Clearspace forum before - only phpBB, vBulletin, and SimpleMachines.

    The Jivespace Forum appears to be run on it however.

    It's an interesting choice. Perhaps it's more spam resistant. Is that the motivation behind the decision?

    No, thank goodness. We need the Adobe engineers working on the applications we pay for, not forum software.

    Probably would have worked, at least. And they could sell it, whether or not it sucked--if Jive can sell their trash and profit, anyone can.

    The new forum will use Jive's Clearspace - see this thread:
