I've been waiting for this literally for years. Our community software people have finally released version 4 and it looks amazing. I've got the programming team upgrading everything and we're almost ready to go. Should just be a day or two or three (edit: we keep finding bugs. hoping to do final testing Monday and go live sometime next week).

It looks cool! I was going to suggest a realtime chatroom, and it's included. Awesome.

Good stuff! :)

We probably will not be including the chat functionality or the calendar functionality. We had a chat back in the day and it was impossible to moderate well enough. I got complaints from parents and what not and agreed that it wasn't a good idea to have it. I'm looking into the functionality of the new chat and we'll see if we can add it but I highly doubt it. The calendar functionality I just don't think we need, unless you can think of a use case?

I thought the chat might be useful, but keeping in mind that underaged users are on this site, then I see your reasoning in not having it. I guess if some users would like to chat, they could always do so elsewhere.

The alternative would be to add a live chatroom, but that could get way too chaotic!

 

I see there will be collaborative blogs too...how will that work exactly?

I'm not sure how a lot of the functionality will work until we beta test it. I'll be asking mods and site watchers to help with that, so we'll all get a peak at it soon. It's taking much longer than we thought to get our skins working perfectly with this new version so the team is still at it full time. It should be a matter of a week or two at this point is my best guess and then we'll beta test this thing and go live!
