We've just released a second beta version of CourseForum and ProjectForum 6.0. While the first beta included the new WYSIWYG editor which is a major addition to version 6.0, in this second beta we're including the other major feature that is to be part of version 6.0 — the option to use central site-wide user accounts in the standard versions of the software.
As you'll see from the description on the beta page, this provides the option of having a single user signin that works for every group in the forum, rather than having per-forum accounts (though that is still an option). This is one of the benefits of our Enterprise/Campus licensing option, but we're now making it available to those with a standard license.
We think for a good number of users, this will be a nice addition which can simplify using the system. While we've got a few smaller refinements in mind still to make before we go final, any feedback that you can provide on either the site-wide accounts or the WYSIWYG editor will be greatly appreciated!
