A reminder about the upcoming DU4 beta test

[EarlG]

14. Just to clear up any misconceptions...

Videos are not being removed from the Latest Threads page (which we're going to call Latest Discussions, but you're welcome to call it whatever you like!) The Latest Discussions page will be just the same as it was before: all threads in all forums -- including threads which contain videos -- will appear there.

The new Latest Videos pages works like the Latest Discussions page, but it ONLY shows threads which contain videos in the OP (no matter which forum they were posted in). Plus you get a thumbnail image of the videos on that page.

You are welcome to post videos in any forum, including in GD.

As for the Video & Multimedia forum, it will still exist during the DU4 beta test (for compatibility with DU3), but it will be retired once DU4 is fully launched. I'm going to post something in V&M next week explaining this. My suggestion for people who currently use the V&M forum would be to simply post their videos in whichever forum most closely matches the topic of the video. No matter which forum they post a video in, it will go to the top of the Latest Videos page -- so even without the V&M forum, there will still be a single location on DU for people to find videos, if that's what they're interested in.

I think it will make sense once you see it in action. The bottom line is that the Latest Threads page isn't changing at all (apart from the title of the page).
