Groups can now have their own forums, and all users may now easily embed videos and images in their activity or forums.
As previously explained, a “group” is a collection of individuals united in pursuit of some collective objective.
In addition to their own activity stream, each group now gets its own forum, which may be public, private, or completely hidden as desired by the group members (or their overlord at any rate).
Those creating new groups will be given the option of enabling a forum for the group during creation.
Pre-existing groups, of which there are now several hundred, can add one as well – the group admin can enable the group forum by going to the group page, accessing the “Admin” section and then enabling “Discussion forum” under “Group settings.”
The actual mechanics of group forum operation are essentially the same as the main forums.
A display of public group forum activity resides here.
In addition to groups, automatic embedding for external content has been added throughout. The main usage is likely to be for embedding videos, especially YouTube and NicoNico Douga, and images into activity updates and group forum posts.
For videos, all that is required is to paste the full URL of a supported video page (i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqOFWDGHOqo) into the update or post – the link will be automatically converted into a player embed.
Direct image embedding currently supports images hosted on the sankakucomplex.com or sankakustatic.com domains – in these cases a direct link to the jpg, png or gif file in question (not its containing page) will result in it being embedded directly. Clicking allows it to be viewed full size within the page as on article pages.
However, there are a large number of other embeds also supported – Flickr, Photobucket, Blip.tv, Vimeo, DailyMotion, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, and Scribd are all embeddable by simply including a link.
In case an embed is not desired (for example, in a simple list), preceding the link with a caret (^) will preserve it as a simple hyperlinked URL.
As usual, further updates are to be expected soon. In the mean time, the Beako Fan Club still serves as an ideal introductory group.

@DFC, I believe this is what you were asking for a few(?) hours ago. ^^;
..anyways, not that it's new though, since it's been around for a while..but it's nice to let everyone else (who didn't notice) know. So HUZZAH! for that. ^^b
It was being beta-tested, hence the lack of announcement.
Ah, I see..explains why some groups didn't have it and lead me to think that it was a Group Admin thing to add it or not. Yet again, my deepest gratitude. ^^
You spelled 'first' wrong. >:3
..joking. xDD
oh no, the end as come!
Finally it's stable.
Oh, nice super soniko video. I take it the ability of uploading images to individual posts as in the main forums won't be in the groups?
Not immediately at least.
Nice thing my videos won't go into the void of the internet this way~
Now I finally know why my image links suddenly turned into images, and how to fix it (y)
Nice :)
Watch out for a rise in internet Klan Rallies.
I love the link that is used as an example

Nice miku pic. I was half-expecting the ronery otaku one >.>
Though, thinking on it, that wouldn't bring very...positive results hah. :P
Yeah, the pic is nice. Too bad that the evil cats ate all her food later in the comic. Poor Miku...
"In addition to their own activity stream, each group now gets its own forum, which may be public, private, or completely hidden as desired by the group members (or their overlord at any rate)."
Great. ^_^
How does this work in detail? Can the group admin set single forum threads to public/private/hidden or only the complete group forum? Can everyone post in a public thread of a private group or is it only visible to everyone and just the group members can post?
Where are the visibility settings for the group forums? I just checked and found none, only the group itself can be set to public, private or hidden.
The forum inherits the settings for the group.
good job ^^
Will it work?
Sounds good to me.
Oh, gotta check this group thing now, I guess.
A Miku is fine but where is the Sancom Loli Idol? (that purple one with a big eye, dunno the name)
Well... more social things...
I seldom posts a comment and already have an avatar. I think it's enough for now XD
Interesting now the groups are more high tech :P
