Seems that odoo has update the forum plug-in on odoo.com reciently. It now is much more responsive and faster to use but it has it's own new problems.
1) I can now only see my last 20 questions & 20 answers or from anyone else in the profile pages. There is no way to request more. That is a problem because the with almost 18,000 posts, the search system is not that affective when looking for something by someone specific.
2) It seems that new users are still setup as private accounts (I could be wrong) but now I get re- directed to the forum link not to an "user is private page". See the new user who posted an answer on this thread.
3) It also seems that users get no karma points when their answer is accepted in the forum.
Hope to find and confirm these items in GitHub/Runbot.
Your not subscribed automaticly to a subject anymore it seems. I barely ever get e-mails from topics I replied on anymore.. so there might be something wrong here too. The badges sytem seems to be broken for weeks to, I'm not getting any new badges.
