Hey Everyone -

So we're in the progress of setting up the new jQuery Forum (as you can see here). We're moving away from using Google Groups, due to the excessive problems that we've had with it. On top of this we see an opportunity to combine some of the disparate jQuery discussion communities (namely the jQueryHelp.com forum).

We analyzed a number of forum solutions and so far we've found Zoho Discussions to be far and away the best. Not only that but the Zoho team has been incredibly accommodating - even going so far as to import all the old jQueryHelp.com and Google Groups posts.

At the time of this post all the old jQueryHelp.com posts and users have been imported into the system. By the end of this weekend the Google Groups (jquery-en, jquery-dev, and jquery-ui) posts and users will be moved over as well. The transition will certainly be rocky but we hope to push through so that we can have an excellent discussion solution in the end.

You'll not that the forum (at this time) isn't styled particularly like the jQuery site. We'll be working to fix this and should have it looking right by the end of the weekend.

We're going to have a full post announcing the forum on Monday, once everything is imported and the site looks correct. Thanks again everyone for your patience and feedback and here's to an exciting 2010!
