community.adobe vs adobe.community

[Marshall_Brooks]

Basic question ...

I've used community.adobe for years ...

I just saw a pop-up at the bottom for "Explore the new Adobe Community." and clicking the link goes to adobe.community.

Questions:

• Do I have to set up new login info on adobe.community, or will my info from community.adobe migrate/transfer over?
• Are both forum/communities going to be maintained for the foreseeable future?
• What is the overall plan?

It seems a bit odd to have two different forums to maintain for the same issues and user base.

no new log in.

details were posted in many forums, eg cc services.

@kglad - Apparently, I missed that memo. Would you have a link to the details? i.e. is the new community an alternative to the current community, or a future replacement or undecided at this point, etc?

Thanks!

it's the same. you're here.  

i really didn't see anything major.

click the adobe logo at the upper left of this (and every forum) page.

@kglad - Ok - thanks. I'm not quite getting it, but ...

I click the Adobe logo and it takes me to adobe.community. From there, I click Explore Communities and it takes me to community.adobe, which is where I am now ...

i didn't get it either, but maybe i'm missing something.  read this and let me know what you think, https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install-discussions/a-new-home-for-the-adobe-community/td-p/...

That link made sense. community.adobe is not changing. The home page for the forum is now going to adobe.community and adobe.community is going to have links to the forums along with links to the inspiration galleries and behance, and resources and events.

Basically, just a larger hompage for the forums.

Personally, I tend to come to the forums (and only the forums) for assistance, so it's just an extra mouse-click to get to them for me, but not a huge deal.

i rarely use that home page and when i do it's to go to a particular forum which is difficult to find until i change the forum list to alphabetical and then click more communities a couple of times.  ie, it was poorly designed before and still is poorly designed (for my usage).
