我们很高兴地宣布新的Linode社区问题网站!
这是一个提出问题、分享想法和知识、与同行和 Linode 团队成员讨论 Linode、Linux、云计算以及 Linode 生态系统中其他一切的好地方。你将能够展开对话，获得帮助，给出建议，并提供解决方案。
社区环境越多人使用就越好。我们希望这将成为大家的一个伟大资源。
还有一个新的社区用户档案，目前列出了你的问题和回复活动。你的个人资料最终将包括额外的互动，如你对Linode指南的评论和你的星级。在即将到来的设计中，我们一直优先考虑社区和团队的功能。
在接下来的几周，我们将关闭phpBB社区论坛。不要担心 - 我们将把所有15年的帖子（！）迁移到新的Linode社区，你将能够轻松地重新获得你的旧论坛用户和帖子。
非常感谢你们多年来的参与。从字面上讲，你们就是这个社区，是你们成就了这个社区。
我们欢迎任何和所有的反馈，以帮助我们改善Linode社区，使其更加有用和愉快。谢谢!

Looks great so far. Here are a few suggestions to get you going:
– Add a rating system – voting for the best answer and likes/dislikes
– Ability to choose a “Best answer”
– Some sort of mark that indicates a solved/answered questions. A check mark or a “Solved” tag
– A filter to only show questions that haven’t been Solved yet and questions with no replies.
I know it’s still new so you’re probably already planning some of these features.
Thanks for the suggestions!
1. I take this was easier than migrating to phpBB 3.2 and integrating the Prosilver style to make it mobile friendly?
2. Will “legacy” links be maintained using a redirect system or will bookmarks need to be changed?
3. Do you plan on making the phpBB read-only prior to moving the data so no posts get lost?
Hi could you clarify if the login for new forums is our linode username or we create a new username ? do we expose our linode manager username when logging into the forums ?
@William No posts will be lost when we perform the final transition over. We’re still not sure we’ll have a read-only period or if we’ll perform multiple merging imports. As for links, we hope to have a redirects in place issuing 301s for a while, but I can’t commit to that just yet…
@GeorgeL – the new community stuff is “single sign on” using your Linode account credentials. On first access to the community site, you’re asked to choose a “Display Name” for use on the public areas, in the case you don’t want to expose your Linode username… You’ll be able to change it in My Profile soon (it’s not there yet).
Thanks @caker for clarification 🙂
I’m confused – is that list really meant to substitute for the forum? As it looks right now it can’t possibly scale to that *at all*. It’s just a list of Q/A.
Hey Tor. The Linode Community page is intended to replace the forums. Pretty soon Linode users will be able to claim their forum posts to be moved over to the new community page. This is an ever evolving page and the Community page you see now is not going to be the final version. As it grows we are confident it will effectively replace our forums.
I hope this helps ease those fears a little.

I have personally moved my forum two times, using 301 to preserve bookmarks, however in my case it was a simple task as the software stayed the same, thus I could just 301 at the http server level.
I am guessing you will have to do some sort of database queries if you manage to pull off your transition and support 301 redirect?
Out of curiosity, is this community system also based around Hugo, or you’re using a custom service as the base for it?
@kuteninja, The Community Questions site is a custom Python Django application.
@Blake:
What you say doesn’t match what we observe, and what Howie just said about the Community Questions site – a custom Python Django application.
What you are doing is *removing* the forum and moving to a much more simplistic Q/A list. It is not a forum (with discussions, information trading etc.). Why not say so?
The part about moving forum posts to the community site doesn’t make sense other than for question type posts/answers. Unless you transform the community site to a forum, which I bet you are not planning to do – otherwise you wouldn’t have started it as a Q/A list.
– addendum: Or are you actually planning to add a forum *in addition* to the Q/A list?
We hope to achieve both use cases with the new site, as it develops. Thanks.
Excluding those on legacy plans from logging into the new site effectively cuts us off from doing anything but reading the site, effectively removing community support…
