We've recently made some improvements and launched a few new features on element14 Community. Have a look below and see how you might take advantage of these and do let us know if you have any questions to how to make the most of them and your membership!
Brand New Features
- Events are now integrated with Google Hangouts (in addition to Webex) and there is now a countdown to the start of the event. We've started using Hangouts for more of our webinars and this integration makes them easier to add to an event (in a consistent way) and easier for everyone to join. Add events to your calendar so you get a reminder of when it's about to start (there's a link to do this on the right-hand menu of the event).
- We've simplified adding product links - you can now add them without knowing the product codes
- We hate spam too – so we've added in even more ways to help combat it on the Community – find something that we missed? Just use the "Report as Abuse" feature you'll find on the right-hand menu of all pieces of content
We've also made some other improvements and fixed a few issues that you've told us about as well:

- People were able to enter same RoadTest more than once.. now locked to 1 submission
