I can finally hide the SONAR X forum using the forum filter.

There's a Sonar X forum?

It's not visible to me if there is, and I don't see a way of revealing it in the forum filter.

 
 And everything's perfick
 
 

They've apparently killed the SONAR Home Studio forum, alas.

A little clarification...
In the past, the forum was divided by product.  So everything Sonar X was together, everything Sonar 8.x was together, etc.  This included everything from bug reports to how do I?s and I wishes.
 
The new world order..
Things are now organised by topic.  There is a bug report forum, a feature request forum, products forums..
All Sonar general discussion goes in the Sonar forum, regardless of version. Many, if not most, of the features in 7.0 or 8.5 are still there in X3e.  Most X3e users are still knowledgeable about the previous versions.  Discussion of most features is relevant to most versions.
 
Bug reports are easier to find,  both for users checking for known bugs and for the Bakers checking for new problems, as they all in the same place.
 
So while all Sonar has been lumped together, the forum is more specific because bug reports, feature requests, etc have been moved out..

Ah, I see. All the forums are visible then.

Except the "Elite" forum of course.

True enough.
Recently, the vast majority of posts in the old Sonar Producer and Studio forum were actually questions about Xx. The header was confusing for new users, and we were constantly redirecting them to the proper forum.
Most people still using 8.5 or earlier have worked through any questions they might have had.
Same goes for Home Studio. I love Home Studio 6, and still have it installed on my laptop, but the forum itself had grown fairly quiet. 
It was clear that there was not enough traffic, and it was just a matter of time before the HS specific forum was eliminated.
As Karyn noted, there are plenty of us familiar with the older products here.
For a long time, we have encouraged users to put system information, including Sonar version, in their signatures. In a consolidated forum, this information becomes increasingly important, as there are version specific details to be aware of.
All in all, I like the new format, and I have to commend the bakers for recognizing that the forums are, and always have been, a huge asset to the Cakewalk package.
