Can you access any of the other dzones (apart from forums.dzone.com)?
I click your link and get redirected to Eclipse Zone | Community for Eclipse users and developers which knows who I am, but I logged into the java.dzone.com before attempting the use the forums. The two are running on different platforms I believe, so there might be a problem with synchronising the user information.
See what you mean -- it's a completely different site, but still accessible i.e. only the "main" or front page URL is being redirected. S'pose that's good for being about to find the old posts.
I'm not sure if there's ever going to be some "old post import" into the new site ... can an admin or site manager tell us for sure?
Yeah, if you go to the "old" Eclipsezone, but then click the Home button in the top menu you are redirected to the "new" eclipse dzone.
Ah yeah! It would be great if there was a massive import of old threads...
I believe that those threads, in that old forum are the biggest eclipse resource that I have ever found in the net....is there someone who can deny this?
You guys are correct that the old threads are one of the biggest resources the Eclipse world has. We are in fact looking at getting the aggregation of the newsgroups started again in the new forum system. Is that something that the community would value? As for an import of the old stuff, it could happen, but not in the short term.
