Today we will be going live to a few changes on the forum. First, we have the new index. The page at
www.halomega.com will no longer be the same page you see when you go to
www.halomega.com/index.php
The new index will feature highlighted posts grouped by date in chronological order. It will likely be updated a few times per day as new posts go up.
There will also be an embedded video player where we will showcase Halo vids. Which brings me to the other change - videos.halomega.com. Videos.halomega.com is the new subdomain video section of halomega.com. We will be looking for user submitted/created videos to feature - so start capturing. Users will be able to comment on clips, embed clips on other sites and all kinds of stuff.
We are also going to be providing free video hosting for any submitted videos. You no longer will have to rely on 3rd party free hosts for your videos. We'll bring the servers and bandwidth -- you bring the images and videos. I'm still working out the details involved with getting your videos submitted and hosted - but in the meantime, if you have video content you want to announce/display -- just let me know and we'll work something out.
We have a couple other changes planned but I think these 2 are close enough to finalized that we can go ahead and launch them. The video section will be undergoing some refinements/improvements over the next couple of weeks while we work out some things - so try to be patient with us on that one. Other than that, I'm anxious to get some feedback on the new stuff, so let me know what you think.
