Community - a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.
As a member of CG Cookie, you are part of this fellowship of artists working towards shared goals: learning, networking and achieving success in what you do.
The CG Cookie community was originally made possibly by adopting Discourse as the forum software. Discourse enabled us to offer a great community experience out of the gate, with little development time. It just worked. The downside, CGC’s community technically resided on a separate server, domain and even required some login bridges. This created challenges while striving to create an unified UX between CGC EDU and the Community.
While we are bummed to leave discourse, the entire CGC crew is pumped for the future of the community here. While only version 1.0 of many exciting versions to come, I am excited about where we can grow, and where we as a community can push it.
A few gained benefits from being fully home grown and integrated
Where are all of the previous community topics?
For the foreseeable future we’ve frozen the previous iteration of the community. Meaning all the content and topics on the http://community.cgcookie.com will remain as read-only. The CGC crew is looking into processes to migrate topics and replies over, though may not be available for some time. It is also a bit exciting to start fresh, with a new platform. :)
Should I recreate my sketch or poly books?
It is not definite CGC will be successful at resurrecting previous Poly or Sketch books from the previous community forum. If you’re anxious to get the work there, go ahead and create a new book, or create a project using the newly improved gallery system here on CGC.
Every couple weeks I will be holding a welcome new members Live Event. Here is the recording of the last one I did. https://cgcookie.com/live_streams/new-members-welcome-to-cg-cookie
Hey there! It sounds like it may be a glitch. The lesson menu should move independently to the body of the site: https://cl.ly/1j111z0h0A3b
If this isn't the behavior your seeing, could you please fire up a conversation with support on the bottom right? Tracking the reports here in the thread is harder to keep tabs on.
Thanks Omar!
Just wanted to give some feedback on navigation.
When watching a video, you get an excersice or maybe before doing it you want to check others submission. But after going into "submissions" there is no direct way of going back to the course and its videos. So you have to search all again through the courses tab to get into it as if you are in the startup page.
This is where you get through the course>submissions 
wordwrap in replies needs fixing, now there isn't none, meaning the word just gets cut in the middle in the side and continues on next line. this makes reading tad cumbersome.
Hey louhikarme , could you please take a screenshot of word wrap not working and send it in via the support chat in the bottom right or email us at [email protected] ? I'm not able to see any issue on my end, so any other information such as browser and operating system would help us track down the problem. Thanks!
Hi Jonathan, its happening in my work computer, that has older firefox 47 installed. I'll get that updated to the latest and see if its still happening. worked at home with chrome though. so this might be just be outdated firefox issue.
