“Apple has been upgrading its tech support ‘Discussions’ boards over the weekend and hopes to reveal a slew of handy new user features later today,” Jonny Evans reports for Macworld UK. “New features will include a “much improved search engine”, capable of searching for numbers and running proximity searches. Discussions will also offer RSS support, so users will be able to track topics using Safari RSS. Posts will be editable, so users can add bold and italics, and posts will be timed according to a user’s local time. Another new feature will enable users to mark posts as a question and then to later mark it as answered.”
Evans reports, “The transition to the new service began at 8pm (PST) on November 11. The URL will also change, from http://discussions.info.apple.com to http://discussions.apple.com .”

Thank you Jesus
It is definitely sluggish. Ugh.
Cool! I liked the Apple forums already and they have helped me figure out something more than once.
Who cares, all of the posts are from dumb asses complaining and spamming the Apple board with scratches of their iPod Nanos.
I keep getting this message:
Safari can’t open the page “http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=758”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
Discussions suck at the moment.
What’s a whinner?
Too bad it’s still going to cost me $29.95 to pay Apple for shipping to have my in-warranty iPod mini fixed. What a racket.
What are you talking about Nick?
Apple replaced an iPod for me that was under warranty, and they paid for shipping both ways.
