Great. Metro Tiles are taking some getting used to. Maybe one of those glitz, not functionality features. IMO

Metro Tiles This is the one that everyone will notice straight away, on the main page the previously static tiles are now animated and show some of the content from those topic areas.
Hi @steve , gotta just say not a huge fan of the tiles changing. Having the number of threads in there, or an unread number would be great but keep the title on at all times. If you want to have a small scrolling section for "quotes" that's fine, but the title should always be on. It's really for us old guys, because I can't remember my own name if it's not up all the time

I do agree in a lot of ways. Trying to remember which one is which can be frustrating. Maybe a heading over the tiles with the group name and then using the tile for scrolling content? In any case, something needs to be static so that it's easily identifiable which group is which at all times. The rest is awesome!

I'm torn on it. Once you know what they are, I like the tiles. But it can be pretty tough to figure out what they are supposed to be.

It looks like it got tweaked a bit. I like it much better now albeit the different sizes are screwing with my CDO.

This is what I mean. If they are all set to have the picture, title and description as well as the, what appears to be, four most recent comments/threads, that'd be better. The one bigger than the rest is making my eye twitch...
-
I personally dont see the value of them changing. I sit and watch the tiles til I can read the forum heading

Good feedback guys. As you can see, we agreed on the "Live Tiles" and moved to this alternative view with the titles still in place but a view of recent content right on the main page.

I like the new style that @ajstringham screenshotted above. Better use of the space and I can still tell what the categories are.

@scottalanmiller oh wow I just went to long sleep yesterday. I am surprised with this changes.
@ajstringham where are you? -

@ajstringham where are you?He had a time change here so it is later than you are used to with him and tomorrow he has to work early. I suspect that he is asleep.
-
@joyfano Yes a lot of changes! I really like what all was done this weekend. It is really maturing here.
-
@scottalanmiller I like the changes too!
hahahaha pretty sure he is sleeping -
The platform is not very old, so I am expecting to see a lot of changes coming on a regular basis. I can't wait to see the site after it gets themed too. Right now, as I understand it, they are running on a generic theme while waiting for the graphic designers to put things together.
-
I am excited for additional changes...

Other than the official MangoLassi theming, I think that the biggest thing that people are waiting on is email notifications. I've not heard any rumours of a roadmap for that yet, though.
-
yes that is one thing .. I wondering before why I haven't received any notification form MangoLassi..

Yes, no functionality for that yet. I've been asking. That is some much needed functionality.

I don't, but maybe we can find one. It is the Skype list that is used.
