As many will already know, Miiverse will arrive on 3DS in a December system update, which will join shared eShop funds and Nintendo Network ID integration on the portable. Nintendo has today issued an update on the Wii U and browser-based iterations of Miiverse as early preparations for the new arrival.
Due to the imminent arrival of many 3DS-centric communities and users, the update notice outlines three changes to the service.
1. New display options in the community list
You can now display more communities at once, with the newest communities displayed first. You can also use a filter to display communities based on categories such as “Wii U software”, “Virtual Console” and so on.
2. A change to the profile page
Your profile no longer displays the total number of Yeahs you have given. However, you can still see the number of Yeahs on individual posts.
3. A change to the default display setting within a community
Until now, when you entered a community, the newest posts were displayed first. From now on, posts by people who have played the game will be displayed by default.
One change not detailed in the update message is that you can no longer easily save copies of images from Miiverse posts when using the browser version, which is a pity.
As Miiverse is a web-based service Nintendo can update at will without lengthy downloads and disruptions, so we'd expect more tweaks as the 3DS iteration arrives. Let us know what you think of these adjustments, and whether you're looking forward to Miiverse on the 3DS, below.

It was for november the update right?
@okamiki The 3DS update is in December.
@ThomasBW84 when u say you can no longer easily save images anymore what do u mean? I loved saving the images is it still possible or just more complicated?
Cheers
@PinkSpider if you really want to save an image just upload it to some place to store it anyway. Miiverse down scales the quality while if you just upload it to somewhere directly it will be full quality.
@PinkSpider Before you could right click on an image (such as the Smash Bros. Sakurai screens) and either open in a new tab of just save from there, now you can't
Nice updates, although not being able to save full images from the web version is a bummer. I used that to save artwork I created in Art Academy.
@Warruz how do u upload it then
@ThomasBW84 we'll that sucks what a shame
@Pinkspider Just got to any img hosting service you prefer or really any place you can upload a media file instead of going to miiverse. Then when it asks to upload an img you will have w/e is displayed on either screen as an option not scaled down.
So will we be able to take screenshots on the 3DS now and post to miiverse?
Don't care about an update if it isn't the 3DS Miiverse update.
@ThomasBW84 DownThemAll for Firefox is the answer.
@ThomasBW84 You still can fetch the screenshots somewhat easily though;
1. Press F12 to open the developer options for a webpage (IE, Chrome) or Ctrl + Shift + K (Firefox)
2. Click on the screenshot (don't forget to click on the search glass first in Chrome)
3. You'll see a link to the screenshot
I can't wait for it. I'll be able to communicate with friends again like I used to in SwapNote before Nintendo went mommy-and-daddy about it.
@Tedikuma If you're a Windows user, try using "Snipping Tool" to capture your pictures.
@WiiUExposed True. An even better way is to check the page's source code and pull the image URL that way. Just search for "screenshot-container".
@ThomasBW84 Not sure what you mean about not being able to save images from the Browser Miiverse. I can do it in Firefox, and why would you use any other browser?
@Tedikuma I also tried changing the "Page Style" in Firefox to "None" and it allowed me to save the picture.
@Warruz You can't upload images from the Wii U anywhere. You can't even save them except in Miiverse (which is stupid really)
@Alshain01 Yes you can. Go in game and and hit the home button, then go to say imageshack.us and press upload. How do you think i got these AC4 screenshots in 720p? I dont have a recording device(yet).
@Warruz Well that is interesting. Does it work with Photobucket?
@Alshain01 i have no idea, but you can give it a try. As long as it uses java to upload files it seems to work.
@Warruz Awesome tips. Gonna have fun with Photoshop today.
You still can't make or answer friend requests in the web version...
So having friends will be an WiiU exclusive feature? (Or at least for the ones who have a WiiU, but thats the same in fact)
@IKAY they have already stated the 3DS will not be getting the Wii U friends list in this update (more stupidity IMO)
Player Posts as default is great news!
@SanderEvers @jpelgrom Nintendo can't hold us back from glorious Smash Bros. screenshots!!! HAHA.
@JuanitoShet
Sort of. You won't be able to communicate through private messages, so don't expect much communication with your friends.
You can also use the printscreen key to copy what is being displayed on the screen, in windows. Then, go to a photo editing program and Paste. Trim the image out manually and save as whatever file format is available.
P.S. Photobucket does work through the Wii U internet browser.
Glad they removed the yeah bar, finally no more yeah beggers!
Also, can't wait for Miiverse for 3DS. I can finally post stuff about Pokémon X/Y!
Any image hosting website will do. I use photobucket to to get Wii U screen shots online.
@SanderEvers Hey, that's cool! Good for people who want to watermark their screens or edit in some way before uploading! I like it!
Woot! This is gonna' be awesome
For a Miiverse update, I would like them to connect 3DS Miiverse messaging to the Wii U messaging.
I know that would involve them having messaging on the 3DS Miiverse anyway, but they could cut down on genitals being sent around by not allowing drawing on the 3DS Miiverse. The character limitation will prevent the image from being detailed or realistic and they could also get rid of the screenshot sharing on the 3DS version since it can't do that yet anyway.
Better have the Plaza feature..
3ds miiverse will have drawing.
@SanderEvers Sounds nice, but on the 3DS I can only send pictures, saved on my 3DS. No screenshots. Tried it with my StreetPass-Plaza...
@Warruz I'm going to have to try this... I've wanted larger screen shots. Thank you.
That makes me happy
