A Jumpin JForum Day to y'all. That's right. Can you believe it has been
seven years since we went live with the JForum software here at the Ranch? You can read about
past years features here. To celebrate, we have some shiny new features for you complements of Devaka, Jaikiran, Jeanne and Tim.
Wiki
The wiki has moved and is now a full fledged part of JForum. This means you don't have to sign in separately and get to benefit from all of the other JForum features including flags and bookmarks. All of the data from the original wiki has been moved
to the wiki forum. Wiki post types can be posted in any forum of course. Since threads can be in multiple forums at the same time, this means the wiki pages can be in the wiki forum and also the relevant forum. For example, the
Servlet FAQ could be in both the Servlet forum and the wiki forum.
The new view
We've finally stopped calling the beta view "beta". It is now the normal view and the other view is the "old" view. Both will still be available for a good while as we continue improving the new view. This means it will also be easier to create forums. if you see a topic that you want to help nurture a forum on, please create a
thread in this forum so it can be considered.
