Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================


Last night Jeff Schacher led the team in updating the CodeGuru discussion
forums. With the help of Heidi, Rich, and several others, this conversion
occurred as smoothly as we could hope. You’ll find that there are now an number
of new features as well as a much smoother interface for you to use. We are
still stomping out a few bugs from the upgrade, but overall, feedback has been
positive.

One big addition is the return of personal ratings. For those that used the
forums a few years ago, you’ll know that CodeGuru use to have ratings on
individual posts and members in the forums. Well, at long last, this is back!
You’ll find that the reputations feature is in the forums now!


Reputations is just one of many new features you’ll find in the forums today.
I’ll be posting an <a
href=”http://www.codeguru.com/announcements/article.php/3380681/”>announcement
</a>on the site with information on some of the other additions.


Until next week!
