Question about common forum threads for OCAJP 7 and OCAJP 8

[enlait]

1. When I follow 'discuss' link in web/mobile studio for question enthuware.ocajp.i.v8.2.1264 I am redirected to About Question enthuware.ocajp.i.v7.2.1264 topic instead. Is this an expected behavior? Since forum topic does not contain question text, I cannot verify whether it is the same question, but from the question asked it doesn't seem likely (enthuware.ocajp.i.v8.2.1264 does not mention LinkedList).

2. The question text is "What sequence of digits will the following program print?". However, code is about a List of one-character Strings, thus a sequence of characters is getting printed.

Yes, that is ok because many questions are common in V7 and V8 (because of common topics). Only for such questions, if there is already a discussion for V7, you will be redirected to that discussion. You can rest assured that if you are redirected to a v7 thread, it is talking about the same question. We have made sure that if the question is different, its numeric id is different as well (and not just the v7/v8 part).

If there is no discussion, a new thread will be created.

It should say "characters". Fixed.
thank you for your feedback.

HTH,
