Hello everyone. We've been hard at work on many of the great suggestions that you've sent us. This week we've been cooking up some changes to the group home page, and hope to make them public very soon. The changes will make the home page more of a dashboard - something closer to the feel of the old group home page. Specifically:
- We're adding back a running list of new members. (It will only be visible to those who are signed in, though, to protect your privacy.)
- We're expanding the list of posts displayed from 5 to 20.
- We're converting the list of new posts to an "active" list. That is, it will show not only new posts but also posts with new replies. This will make it like the list of new comments that was on the old site's home page. So if you were to sit on the new group home page and refresh it all day, you'd see every single new post, and every post with new replies, pop right to the top of that list. You wouldn't miss a thing. And if you are away for a while, you can always get a list of everything that's new, or has new replies, by clicking "New" and then "Active."
- We're adding direct links to the discussion topics, so you can jump right to the discussions that you most want to read.
- We're moving the posts to the left column, since that makes for easier reading.
- And finally, anywhere on the site that we give you a list of posts, we're increasing the number of items per page from 10 to 20. Earlier this week we expanded the list of replies per page from 10 to 20, also.
We hope these changes make the home page much more useful for you.
