Tabrez has just posted the official what’s changed in this community release http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/72084
I only missed one
Latest Spiceworks Version
We’ve heard from you that you’d like to easily tell if you have the latest released version of Spiceworks. We’ll now list the version on more pages so you can tell at a glance if you have the latest and spiciest version.
Rock on Spiceworks
I found something else new with the latest release…
If you haven’t got Spiceworks installed and click a link on the left for Dashboard, reports etc you not get a nice message rather than the scanky one from before.
There on the groups page
http://community.spiceworks.com/group
Hopefully well see more soon and more things we can do with them 
Its the morning after the community update and seem seemed to go well (the community is working at least)
We are still awaiting a full list of things that have changed but here are the things I have spotted so far:
Spiceworks News
All the latest Spiceworks news is now shown on the My Community Page to help make sure you don’t miss anything
Points System
Due to the outburst of point cheating the points system has changed.
You can now get points for windows even comments.
Insted of getting 10 points for every post you now one get one point per new topic you talk in, meaning it is more contribution based.
If you fill out all of your profile you automatically get 100 points.
Channels
There are now channels in the community but i have yet to find a full list of them, the networking one is http://community.spiceworks.com/channel/show/3-networking
Channels are aimed to help organise groups, If you visit the Networking channel you’ll see all the topics from groups like Cisco, DNS, etc.
Share-It
At the bottom of all topics there are now social media buttons so you can share something from the community on Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Linked In, and Reddit.
So hopefully Tabrez will post up a list of everything that has changed soon and I can do a full write up, but I think I got most of them.
Tabrez has just posted:
We’re planning on pushing out an update to the Spiceworks Community tonight (Jul 14) at 7pm CST. The Community will be offline during this time. We should be back up in 4 hours. For those of you with S.C.A.D – rest assured we’ll be back and spicier!
Some of the changes you’ll see are:
- A few changes to the point system (I’ll post back tomorrow with the details but in a nutshell: you can now earn points for providing troubleshooting advice and comments on Windows Events)
- We’re testing out a new way of organizing groups around a concept called Channels. For eg: If you visit the Networking channel you’ll see all the topics from groups like Cisco, DNS, etc.
- Topics will now have social media buttons so you can share something from the community on Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Linked In, and Reddit. When you share something you found interesting on Spiceworks you’re also helping spread the word about Spiceworks!
I’ll post more details once we get the release out.
Its going to be a hard time of everyone with SCAD but well fight though it.
The Spiceworks Community water cooler to have a chat feature???
Could it be Spiceworks listened to us?
From recent talks with Spiceworks it appears in one of the up coming community releases (no information timescale or which release will contain it yet) they are planning a chat system! To start with there will be select people who can use it to test it out and make sure it works right with the plan of rolling it out for all users above X pepper level so that it doesn’t get flooded with noobies, lets hope they dont let Glen8990 in (joking)
It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
From what we know so far it will be like Facebook chat so that you can carry it on in as you surf around the community. They are not sure yet but it may start with just one on one chats before developing into muti user chat rooms but we will see what happens.
Told you this one would be exciting…
Join Spiceworks for a 60-minute webinar where we will discuss all of the exciting new features that you’ll find in 4.0 including:
