With the latest update (which I like overall) to the forums I have noticed there are three types of users. Community Member, Community Professional, and Adobe Employee. While I understand all three I am a bit curious as to what is the distinguishing factor for  a Community Member from a Community  Professional?

Community Professionals are developers and product specialists who are part of the Adobe ACP program - see http://www.adobe.com/communities/professionals/

Our roles extend beyond these forums, but many of us contribute on here on a voluntary basis.

Community member is just that. You could be Employee, Professional Developers/Product specialists, or users of varing skill levels

I wasn't aware that there was any activity in the Community Professional program any more.  I certainly haven't seen anyone made an ACP in recent history.

In the past, ACP membership opened once a year, in January. But I believe they are now going to also have an enrollment period in June. ACP, though, seems more geared towards the developer community. We may introduce an additional level of recognition for forum participants later this year.

Why wouldn't Noel qualify as a developer?  His company develops and sells Photoshop-related software.
