Empire Avenue - Community Updates

So, it's that time again, for an update on Empire Avenue.  As I write this.  The communities are currently down.  Why are they down you ask?  Simple.  Community Updates.  Much needed ones at that.  It's been ages sense the last community update, if they've even had one at all.

So, what are they changing?  Well, for starters, chat rooms will no longer be on the front page, except for the Help and Special Event chats on the site.  Now, chats are going to be run inside of the communities only.  This is a big plus.  Now, when you log onto Empire Avenue, you won't be bombarded with tons of chat rooms that you don't even want.

Here are some of the other features being added to the chat rooms.

Thumbing up of posts

Favouriting of posts

Searching posts in a Community

Subscribing to individual Communities for notifications

New notification levels

Integration of Communities with Indexes!
