  • 1.  Many discussion forums no longer publicly readable

    Many discussion forums, including the Automic Workload Automation forum, are no longer readable by users who are not logged in.
    This seems to be the result of a broader Higher Logic 'upgrade'. There are other problems. The list of all communities shows a threads button for some communities and a discussions button for others.

    Yeah the "Clarity" community is affected ("Threads" and forced login to see them).

    Hope that this can get "fixed" as it is (IMHO) quite a barrier to engagement.

    @Michael A. Lowry and @David Morton -     Enterprise Software product communities activated their new discussion type yesterday.   The vendor rolled it out then left for the holiday.  I have a P2 support ticket open - it's a bug that affects discussion and file widgets with the new Q/A discussion type that was fixed during BETA.   It will be resolved by EOD and only affects logged out and logged in users who do not belong to the community.  If you have joined the community the widget works.  ~jm ​​

    Great ; can confirm that I could see the discussions ("threads") again OK without logging in - Thanks!

    Thanks. That did not take long and can't have hurt much.
