Steam Community Multi-day update - Games

Valve is doing a multi-day update announcement for the Community site. Closed beta will start soon, and information on how to apply to this will be announced shortly. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/communitycontent[/url] [h2]Day 3 - My Content[/h2] [quote] The content you’ve published will also get a new treatment. We've put all the content you've created in one convenient place to make it easier to both show off and manage. This goes for all your friends and people you follow as well. [b]My image wall[/b] The screenshots page will have a couple of different viewing options now, with a new layout that makes your finest gaming moments look like a work of art. [b]In one place[/b] Whether you take screenshots, replays, link videos from YouTube, publish from SFM, upload Workshop Items, or create Workshop Collections, all of your content is easily accessible from your profile. [b]Favorites[/b] Found a cool screenshot, video, or workshop item? Now you can favorite them so you can find them later and share them with your friends. [/quote] Full My Content screenshot: [thumb]http://cdn.steamcommunity.com/public/images//updates/communitycontent/45d5c192-1bab-46d4-ae14-37b407fd4101/day3_image_huge.jpg?v=1[/thumb] [h2]Day 2 - Group Updates[/h2] [quote] Since The Community first launched, Steam gamers have created over 2.5 Million groups, bringing together their friends and other like-minded gamers to talk about their common interests. Whether these groups were associated with a particular game or were just made up of friends who wanted to play together, we’re making it even easier for those players to share and enjoy their gaming experiences. [b]New layout[/b] The revamped groups layout makes it easier to see what a group is really about, who’s in it, and what they’ve been up to recently. We’ve added a group overview, friend showcase, and more. [b]Group Discussions[/b] Most significantly, each group will now have their own discussions area, enabling public and private discussions within the group. You get complete moderator control over your group forums, with the ability to create sub-forums, add moderators, delete posts, etc. [b]More Personalized[/b] Each group can now proudly list their favorite games for others to find. You can also set the default language for the group.

It’s both community created and official content, as rated by you, Steam users. [b]Everything in one place[/b] Now all of the community and official game content lives together on the Game Hub: Screenshots, videos, workshop items, news, and discussions are all easily accessible. [b]Discussions[/b] Each Hub has a Discussions tab so now you can talk about your favorite games without diving into the Steam Forums. [b]Curated by players[/b] The most popular content as rated by you and other community members floats to the top of the Hub. So it’s easy to see what’s currently the best and most active. [b]Every game has a hub[/b] Think of it as the flip side of the Store. Every game on Steam has a hub to show off the latest news and what’s going on in the community.

Wow, They're really polishing up steam. I know it's just a glorified DRM solution, but given how much value it's adding they'll probably just be able to drop the DRM eventually.

Oooooh boy [IMG]http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/293/590/6f6.gif[/IMG] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Image macro" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

Nice touch, Valve [url]http://puu.sh/UXVr[/url]

The like system is getting viral, I was expecting a 5 star rating system.

[QUOTE=usaokay;37215306]I'm more excited for this than any hat update for TF2.[/QUOTE] Same, I use the Community site a LOT and am real excited about it getting a new update. It's starting to show it's age (user accessibility wise, that is).

woah wait what news is getting dropped from the top bar and replaced with friends

Please for the love of god, rich text editors for profiles / group announcements. Right now people are forced to copy-paste links.

All I want is a better offline mode, fairer euro prices and better client performance/download speeds.

Hopefully greenlight will be one of the things added to new community.

[QUOTE=themooselord;37215663]All I want is a better offline mode, fairer euro prices and better client performance/download speeds.[/QUOTE] It's a Steam Community update, not a Steam update in general. And stop asking for euro price changes when Valve's not the one dictating them.

It begins. :dance:

Well I'll have to put up with it, no point moaning. All this newness makes me curious what it'll be like.

[QUOTE=themooselord;37215663]All I want is a better offline mode, fairer euro prices and better client performance/download speeds.[/QUOTE]This. I don't even live in Europe, but I want it to be priced more fairly there so I can play with more European peoples. The offline mode never works when I want it to...

[QUOTE=Clavus;37215700]It's a Steam Community update, not a Steam update in general. And stop asking for euro price changes when Valve's not the one dictating them.[/QUOTE] Still, one can hope.

This, greenlight and Steam coming to Linux. Valve are on a roll.

[QUOTE=dageek;37215332]Nice touch, Valve [url]http://puu.sh/UXVr[/url][/QUOTE] I bet there are some people who don't know about it and probably think there is a new Gmod coming out that cost money.

This is so fucking cool

Hope I somehow get into the beta.

Calling it now: Profile hats.

[QUOTE=DJF;37216524]Calling it now: Profile hats.[/QUOTE] unusual profile $500

Will be interesting to see what else they add. I hope we get something so we can attach notes to friends so i can remember why people are on my friends list, or maybe the option to group friends together like you can with games.

[QUOTE=Noi;37216707]I hope they'll make steam group's abbreviation unnecessary [editline]13th August 2012[/editline] And... PNG avatars![/QUOTE] I hate how you can't use .jpg but you can use .JPG. (or vice versa) Dumbest shit ever.

[QUOTE=Novangel;37216699][img]http://puu.sh/UZmR[/img] ?[/QUOTE] Never noticed that before. Would be nice it it moved the friend instead, rather than having them twice.

It does move them.

I can already see the popular characters in the corresponding game scenes, such as movie makers, modders, etc. take up the top of the hub, while others' content gets burried.

[QUOTE=Novangel;37216848]It does move them.[/QUOTE] It leaves them where they are and copies them into a new section with the tag you give them. It means you have them twice, once under friends and once with the tag. I want it to actually move them like it does when add your games to groups.

[QUOTE=Wowza!;37217085]Click on the friends menu, and uncheck "Show everyone in the FRIENDS section".[/QUOTE] Awesome, thanks! I don't know how i never noticed the Tag option before.
