Hello Community! 
I hope your October was nice and no IT issues spooked you 
Here is a recap of what happened in the Community:
Forum Update
As you have probably noticed, we updated our Forum. It does not only look different but there are also some changes under the hood.
For example, the update allowed me to easily enable the reactions to posts – now you can react with several different emojis. This is running in a “beta” state but if everything goes well, we hope to keep it
If you notice something going wrong after the update, as always, please let me know!
Exchange Updates
We are working on improving the Exchange, so it could bring more value to you, our Community. Check out the latest update from the team: Checkmk Exchange Update from the Team
As always, I would be glad to hear your suggestions on how we could proceed with making it friendlier!
