What happened to the forums?

#1 Yep same here. Happened when the site upgraded.

I figure it's because I'm on a studio licence.

#2 It's been like that for a long while, for me, with only the engines (or addons) having a private forum being listed under the MyProduct Forums section ever since most of the private forums were opened up to the public last year...

The recent site upgrade did seem to clutter things a bit though since I also get some added forums for engines/products I have no care/use for listed there (My Product forums) which I've attributed to me being an Associate and having amazing powers of seeing all :D

#3 Yep, this is how the forums are supposed to look. Some people, myself included, didn't see it until the site upgrade due to a previous site bug that was fixed in the upgrade.

#4 OK but wait, two of my engines are buried and not at the top in my products, TX3D and iTGB. Why aren't all my engines shown in my products at the top?

#5 @Henry: neither of those engines have a private forums is probably why.

I do agree with the common belief that all of my purchased products' forums should be grouped in the My Product forum section irrespective of them being public/private - but complaints/criticism about that organizational aspect haven't been addressed yet in almost a year ;)

#6 Perhaps the My Products forum section should be re-labeled as Private Engine/Product Forums and the Engine section as Public Engine Forums since that is how they have actually been distributed on our forum page.

#7 OK well next planning meeting, It would be good if the forums for the engines we own are on top, private, public or not. Then maybe the addons etc. Then all the rest at the bottom.

Can you tell I have a UI/usability background? ;)

#8 Why not add your suggestion to the Site Wishlist thread. I've already mentioned something similar but hopefully more voices will bring greater notice.
