In last week's site update we deployed more fixes and improvements, and we made sure we sorted out video uploads and switched to a new HTML5-first player.. meaning no more Flash!
New features / Highlights
- Switch the Brightcove video player to a new HTML5 version
- Allow Community video URLs to be pasted into the Embed video page (where you'd usually paste in a YouTube video URL)
- Fix the upload process, which was slow and wasn't publishing the videos even when encoding was complete
- Registration form changes; these are covered in more detail here.. Updates to Our Registration Process and here.. Complete the New Profile Form for the Power Profile Badge
- The site header on mobile was waaaaay too large (took up 1/3 of the screen in landscape mode!) and stuck to the top of the screen as you scrolled. We've un-stuck it so you can view the site properly as you scroll down.
