New Question and Answers area in beta


Asking other mbed users a question, answering those questions and being able to learn from previous questions should be getting easier. We've just released a beta of our new Question and Answer area.

The new area allows users to post questions which other users can vote for. Hopefully voting will mean that interesting questions are easier to find.

Answers can be posted and the person that posted the question can accept an answer. The ability to mark answers as accepted will mean that it is easy to see what worked when reading through old questions and it means that finding unanswered questions will be much easier.

The Question and Answers area is currently only available to beta users but it's easy to enable beta mode if you want to join in. If you're not keen to become a beta tester then you can expect to see the new area in the next few weeks.

I have seen this type of Q&A system before and it appeared to work quite well. However, those sites didn't typically have forums too. It will be interesting to see how the traffic splits between these two resources.

Why cannot this "Questions" be in the Forum? Putting it outside disorganises the web site.
