Introducing the New View

As many of you are aware, Meetup.com is forcing all meetup groups to adopt a "new view" for all meetup groups. While this view contains a bunch of improvements and neat features, many people may not like its Facebook-like appearance. Unfortunately, there is nothing that I can do about it :( So tonight, I've switched C&C over to the new view.

Here are the major changes:

  • The navigation bar is no longer located on the left side of the website, but on the top.
  • "Events" are now officially called "Meetups". You can access past and future meetups by accessing the "Meetups" option on the navigation bar. You can also see the next meetup, and other calendar information on the right-hand side of the home page.
  • The "Latest Activity" module replaces the old "What's New" feed, and dominates the center of the screen. It contains a feed of the most recent activity on the site, Facebook style.


DID YOU KNOW? You can quickly see our calendar by making a bookmark of the following link: http://www.cardsconve...

I've redesigned the site to reduce clutter to the best of my ability. I would like to hear your comments on the layout.

Regards,

Tony

Nice site Tony. I'm glad you could keep the same colors, and it seems easy to get around! :)

Is there any way to separate the comments relating to the meetups (events) they pertain to more directly? There are 3 discussions (cards past, skating, cards future) all together as if they're one thread. Just asking.

Hi Vicki --

Thanks for your comments on the new view. Unfortunately, I can't control the order of the announcements. They are meant to be in a chronological feed, as they are added to the site. I can remove "past meetup" comments or remove "future meetup" comments, so that they aren't in the way, but then you won't see them :(

I'll be tweaking the information displayed in this location based on user feedback, so continue sending them to me! :)
