Question

What is the forum - forum?

In the "English New Forums Discussions" forum, I just saw this comment by Dorothy K:

If people what their comments seen, and more likely answered, the main comments section that the forum staff and developers are watching is at http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments

referring to this forum.

If this is official ( Dorothy is not tagged as "Adobe" ), then please fix the entry on this page:

http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa

Sub-section "General Forums"

It has links for both "Forum Comments" and "New Forum Discussions", where the latter should apparently be "deprecated" while IMO it at least sounds "newer".

Please also leave a message whether we should re-post here

    There used to be two forums, but they were merged together as all the comments are about this forum. So now they're one in the same.

    John: I think it would be better if only Adobe officials like yourself commented on Adobe's position regarding the new Forums.

    AFAIK Dorothy has no official status in these forums and it might lead to a confused message. I for one am extremely happy to see Adobe employees contributing more and hope that will be a trend going forward in these forums. The badging for employees is a great idea to; lets casual observers know whom are the official sources/people.

    Dorothy this isn't a personal attack and I have no axe to grind with you, I'm sure you're good in your particular product knowledge. But I for one, prefer to hear Officially what is happening with the forums. That way the chance of mixed messages is reduced.

    Community Experts IMHO should relegate their comments to their particular Adobe application strengths.

    Just for the record, Dorothy claims no particular product expertise.

    She's tagged now. For better or for worse. (There will be varying opinions, most of which don't interest me.)

    The latter was (still is) the discussion about the new forum software during the preview period, before the software went "live" officially today.
