Steam Community Beta

Im suprised nobody has posted this yet, but if you go into settings on steam you can opt into "The Steam Community".

It is a new system which allows you to join groups, form chatrooms and find new friends through the steam system. This means that the steam friends system has been totally revamped, hopefully it wont go down for months on end like the last one.


I've taken liberty into creating a Natural Selection group on this, if the devs want to take ownership of this go ahead, I've just made it for convenience seeing as no one else has yet.

<a href="http://steamcommunity.com/groups/NaturalSelection/" target="_blank">http://steamcommunity.com/groups/NaturalSelection/</a>

the group is public, so feel free to join.

    /me updates steam to check it out.

    I wonder if this will be similar in some ways to the Quake Wars community pages.

    For those of you who had no idea what was going on to begin with - go to settings and opt to participate in the steam community beta.

    I'll join up soon as it's updated like KFDM

    Okay so I'm in the beta, and I click 'join' to join the group with steam open, and nothing happens. How do I join the group?

    The group chat works fine for it though.

    If you go back into group chat I can also invite you from there. Some other dude was also having the same problem.

    This thing is six ways to slick. And with [WHO]Them in the Natural Selection group, we have an easy lane to the Valve group, which lets us keep an eye on them. Find out what they play. Where they live...

    What profile pictures they choose.

    When I click "Enter NS Chat Room" it boots up Steam but nothing happens...
  • ChocolateChocolate The Team Mascot Join Date: 2006-10-31 Member: 58123Members
    Is there any way to join the group besides the link on the first page? My Steam and IE7/Firefox just don't seem to work together. The "join" button on the link just doesn't work, it simply brings me back to the same page. Any help is appreciated. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    PS: I posted this earlier up but I got no responses and I figured that maybe it was a one time error.

    Can regular members invite? If you give me your ID page I'll try and invite you.
