The launch of the new EA Forum is getting closer! See these previous posts for more background.
We’d like to invite everyone to check out the beta version of the new Forum: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org
Existing content from the current EA Forum has not yet been ported over, so what you’ll see there is all-new content from the beta version. Once the new Forum is fully launched, all previous posts and comments will be on the new Forum. Please see the “How to use the Forum” post to get a feel for the new space. If you have any problems, or want to offer comments and suggestions, the best place to reach us is the blue Intercom chatbox icon in the lower right.
We’re excited to see you in the new Forum!
Copied from JP Addison's response to the same comment on the beta Forum:
"Hi, sorry for the confusion. I agree it’s suboptimal to have the duplicated Forums, and am working as fast as I can to get it up. I think it is good to have the new Forum get tested and for people who wish to to get familiar with it before redirecting the entire Forum traffic to it. It is a fork of the LW codebase, but there are enough changes to have allowed many bugs to have been caught already. I’m aiming to have the new Forum up before Friday Nov 2nd, or the week after. I have been less good than I might have hoped at making timing predictions however, and have tried to avoid having people plan around predictions that have not proved well-calibrated. Thanks for your patience."
