I had a topic, think in 2017, think had JSON in the topic title. Can’t find it. Did this current forum start in 2018? so my topic is in the old forum. Is that this [https://forum.processing.org/two/](https://forum.processing.org/two/) or is that 2 forums back? Logins are disabled, so can’t list my topics. (Read-only login would be useful.) Search for JSON doesn’t find anything. Manually found some titles with JSON, so search doesn’t work as I expect it to.

Any solid facts appreciated.

Google was our friend for this one. 🙂 The search was:
