Members of the Microsoft Dynamics AX group had a little pain in the past where the community required to have the site added to Internet Explorer compatibility view and Lifecycle services running on the same domain not. So they had to switch the settings to be fully compatible on the features. This compatibility view mode is not needed anymore.
A new syntax highligher has been added in the forums to have a better layout and visual support for coding.
The badges have been redefined. There are now monthly leaderboards. This makes it for new members easier to compete against members active for longer periods.
