Hey folks. We’ve been toiling hard in the fiery pit — I’m the master, he’s the blaster! — to bring you the latest Veer Ideas release. Here’s the rundown.
Groups
Build communities and get involved. Share ideas, pick sides, and get fresh perspectives. You can find them here. Don’t be chicken, get with the clickin’.
Jobs
Projects and jobs for designers and developers. Search your city or the one next door. A great resource, brought to you in cooperation with Mr. Cameron Moll and Authentic Jobs.
Your Comments
Do you love hearing yourself speak? Who doesn’t? Now you can keep a tab on all the posts and portfolios that you or your contacts have commented on. Look for the shiny new links on the Skinny, Fat, Portfolios, and member pages.
Time-zone Detection
It’s 4:00 am … but where? Now you’ll always see dates and times accurate to your location, even if you live in Saskatchewan.
HTML Support
For the finicky fastidious formatter, we’ve added even more HTML support to description and comment fields.
Self-validation
Were our atom feeds looking a bit weird? Not anymore.
Tiny, But Tasty
Comprehensive microformats have been added to member profiles and groups. Scrape it up like your momma’s cookie dough.
Top it all off with a bunch of performance improvements and tweaks and there you have it. Enjoy!

It just keeps getting better and better.

The new sections look amazing. One question though; how does one join a group?

I found it. I guess I haven't completely woken up yet.
It's in the very top of the right sidebar of whatever group you happen to be viewing.

Michael, please let us know if you find any parts of the new section to be confusing. We’ve made a few usability assumptions regarding groups, and some functionality may not be as clear as it should be. I think we might need to improve on the visibility of the “join this group” links, in particular.

If I may be so humble, I’d like to offer major props to the rest of the community team for this release. Building out the groups component was an amazingly complex feat unto itself.
A tip o’ the tuque to Anders, Dan, Issa, Mark, Sheldon, and Yuval.
