WOW, I have been waiting for this for almost 6 months! Seems like one thing after another has held me back from making the change to the new site. Community Server has a lot of new features in version 2.0 Beta 3 that help with the videos. That has been the tough hurdle to wait for CS to get the video issues resolved. Some of the new features are listed below.
- A community RSS feed that is made up of several different resources such as myITforum.com, TechNet, and a slew of others all in one feed which focus on Microsoft solutions.
- Registered users will have their own “built-in“ RSS reader and you can add anything you want!
- Registered users will be able to post in the forums, but everyone can read.
- Want a blog? Add it yourself when you register.
- Want a place for your pictures, add it wen you register!
- When you register, you can post videos and Blogcasts. Each Blogcast and video has a comment section now where both registered and non-registered users can make comments and rate the video!
- Registered users can post files and documents to share immediately with everyone.
- New Blogs skins for you bloggers.
I think the theme really allows people to talk about the videos and post questions which we never had before. I always wanted a site that had the features that make it “community” rather than see and walk away... I hope you like it. I made it for you.
