Apple has gone live with the Apple Support Communities support forum upgrade it announced last year, adding social network features and replacing the Apple Discussions board, reports “AppleInsider.”
Apple announced the new Support Communities upgrade to its online forums last August on the Apple Discussions board (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2540747?threadID=2540747). At the time this is how Apple described the upgrade: “Apple Support Communities brings together thousands of Macintosh, iPod, iPhone, and iPad users from around the world to discuss Apple products and topics. Apple Support Communities provides a wealth of information about your favorite Apple hardware and software products to help you get the most out of your purchase. And, in the spirit of community, you can also help other Apple Support Communities’ users by answering their questions.”
