and they are as follows:
-- Subject lines when replying to a post will be now left blank, so that user will be asked to fill out the subject line rather continue with "RE: to post" madness!
-- The subject line in the discussion tree that is being read will now be highlighted in the color red, rather than the subtle black text.
I hope these couple of simple improvement will make the forum experience a little better for our members.
Thanks all!

Hi everyone,
In order to streamline forum production processes this coming Thursday evening 12/9/04, all of the CNET Help.com Forum branded templates will be REMOVED from the forums and reflect only a single brand, which will be the CNET Reviews version of the forums, found here: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7600_7-5565323-1.html
A few forum URLs will change, but other than that nothing in the forums as far as content goes will be altered--same great forums, just no more co brands.
So going forward the New URLs for the CNET forums will be:
CNET Forum Home page:
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7600_7-5565323-1.html
Forum FAQ:
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7600_7-5565360-1.html
Forum Policies:
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7600_7-5565331-1.html
Forum Moderators:
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7600_7-5565454-1.html
If you enter the forums through Help.com, links will still be available to get to the forums, but they will take you to the Reviews branded forums rather than the Help.com version. Eventually all Help.com forum pages will be redirect to the permanent Reviews version of the forums.
Thanks everyone!
