Over the final couple of months, we've been working on a new Arduino Community Forum , and it's about to open. We've been listening to explanation and requests you've made, and have incorporated a few of them:
* The categories have been rearranged and simplified
* We've updated the capability to post cinema and video from YouTube, Flickr, or Vimeo
* Added improved email notifications
* Added a new form page
* Added a new help page for newcomers
* Added presentation pop-ups when login to the forum
* Made the type agreeable with the Arduino Look'n'Feel
The new Community Forum will add both the deliberation forum and the playground. You'll be able to login to both with one user profile. As you add new features in the future, this form will request to them as well, to make your entire experience of the Arduino site easier. You'll see your login position in the menu bar, and if you're not a associate yet, you can pointer up from the menubar as well. Members will be able to post in the forums and amend the playground. When you open the Arduino Store site in a couple of weeks, you'll have the choice to record your Arduino play with your form too. This elective underline will help us offer improved support, by knowing that lot of play yours comes from, and other production details. We wish to offer the most appropriate encouragement you can is to collection you make.
The new forum and stadium will still be open to deliberation of Arduino derivatives and offshoots as it always has. We ponder those a profitable segment of the community.
Your privacy is critical to us. The new form database is more modern and secure than the aged one, and the interface uses typical transfers so your profiles will come about securely. Most fields will be optional, so you usually come in information about yourself that's it's utilitarian to you as segment of the Arduino community. We hope this new network will make it probable to succeed the residents deliberation and to encouragement Arduino products improved for you.
In demand to make the passing from one to another work well, we're going to solidify the aged forum and beginning anew with the new one. The aged forum will sojourn open and approachable and searchable as an archive, but its calm has not been ported in to the new forum. If you have posts or things that you feel should be ported to the new forum, you're acquire to do so. Having watched the Processing group make a successful forum this way, you felt it was the most efficient way to ascent our own forum.
Here's how the change will happen:
* On January 24th you will solidify the aged forum at 9AM CET/ 3 AM EST , disabling login or posting. The same will come about is to Playground. Both sites will sojourn browsable, however.
* We will quit all the users to the new forum. This should take a few hours. Once that's done, we'll open the new forum.
* The new forum should open by the finish of the day CET on January 24th, presumption a rapid and successful migration.
* You will be able to access the new forum with the same login and cue you used is to aged forum.
* We will keep a group working around the timepiece for 48 hours to ensure things are working and to put together any problems as they arise
