Welcome to the new FORA.tv

Kudos to Allan Claghorn and the entire FORA team on the launch of the new site, features and tools. What’s new to see?

At the top of the home page you’ll see tabs to visit the primary categories on the site:
Politics, Business, Tech & Science, The World, and Culture. Notice each category has subcategories; it’s all there for easy navigation to the videos of greatest interest to you.

On the right-hand side of the page you can check out Today’s Top Programs – the current most popular videos on FORA.

After choosing a program, you’re directed to the FORA player, featuring video highlights…
…the full program……DVD style chapters…a transcript with built-in search functionality….a brief description……speaker bios…diverse options to share and download…associated links…and related programs.

Right below the program you can weigh in on the conversation…or by giving other users a thumbs up or down.

Register and create your own online channel with MyFORA. Here, you can build your own library by bookmarking your favorite chapters or full-length programs and starting your own “Think Tank” discussions by uploading content you’ve created.

Keep track of your recent comments and viewed programs. Customize your profile further with a personal bio, add other users to your “Friends” list, share your favorite links, and manage your subscriptions.

We’ll be giving you more tips and background on the new site in the days ahead. Please share your comments with me and the team at fora-ceo@fora.tv. Thanks for visiting,

    The site is incredibly, incredibly slow: streaming is fine, but the actual loading of pages takes forever.

    Hey, Mr. President: I’ve never had trouble before getting the Embed code so I can share videos on my blog. Now there’s a java script code there. I’m missing something simple, right?

    He’p!

    And yes, I’m logged in, which brings up another thing:

    The log in box at the top right is not clearly showing. I have to go to the manual box to get to a login page.

    Interesting, don’t you think?

    Thank you.
