Forum separation?
So all the forums, with the exception of beta, have been collapsed into a single group? Is there some way to get rid of all the white space?

Other languages, resources and Proclaim are also separated out. English is combined into one and relies on tags. I think it works reasonably well.
A few things I notice for repair or possible improvement:
- The status of 'answered' seemed problematic and is being discussed
- Images are missing from some posts in the migration to this platform
- The analytics in profiles need to be corrected. Mine says I joined in 2016 when I joined the previous platform on the day of its launch in 2009.
- The lack of dates on forum post lists could lead to a greater possibility that someone will post on a thread that was forever ago.
- I personally prefer to see in addition to the original posters name, the most recent time and date and who commented in the subtitle.
- Would it be worth having a 'mark all' read option for forum?
- The quote function is all or nothing, which diminishes its function.
The use of white space in the forum does give it a clean look. I am getting used to it, but I, too, have wondered if the use could be tweaked a bit to help with the visual flow of lengthy posts, particularly with the demarcation of the original post and subsequent comments.

Regarding when we joined the forum - I found that, for me, the date shown was the last time my forum email address was changed. Could that apply here?

Here I want to highlight parts of Donovan's post. I cannot. This is a big drop. Logos: please restore.
Dates are necessary. Date OP originated, date of last post, who wrote last post, how many posts on this thread

The quote feature was something we were giving feedback on those types of needed improvements during the Beta phase

Yeah, Frank, I hope they move on these issues.
As the originators have to be the ones who change the forums, there can be some resistance to doing so.

@scooter, members can select/copy portions of an individuals comment and quote them (or simply type ">" followed by the space bar). That is the simplest way to quote snippets of another.
We are actively monitoring the dialogue around this and I really appreciate your feedback there.

We will be making more use of sidebars in the future, @Mark McDonald. That white space will come in handy for future releases and expansions on our community space.

My feedback is that you've made it way too hard to quote part of a post 😘

It feels "modern," but somehow also feels more cluttered to me. I think that's due to a couple of things. First, you can't see as much of the conversation on a single screen, so it's not as immediately clear where you are in the conversation. Second, while navigating by tags and filters may be more flexible, it doesn't provide as obvious a structure as separate forums. Of the two, I think the first is the most bothersome to me.
Overall, it feels to me more like scrounging through a junk drawer and less like scanning through a filing cabinet.

Not in my case. I actually changed emails in the last year.
