Congratulations on your new podcast @PJUllrich and @gus

I had it on in the background earlier - thought it was brilliant - I am sure you will fill the Thinking Elixir shoes no problem.. while also allowing your unique personality to shine through, which I already like It was relaxed, mature, and full of curiosity!

Thank you also for the kind words about the forum refresh - you nailed that too - the new front end is designed to cater to people who don’t have the time to log-in daily (so the majority of users) while the base forum (at forum.elixirforum.com) is where our most regular users are likely to hang out. Many regulars might check out the ‘headlines’ when they first log on (homepage) then spend the rest of the day on the base forum.

After hearing your feedback we have changed the Latest label to Latest Threads to make it more obvious they are the latest threads, and the right hand col is essentially the public view of what the forum normally displays, i.e the threads with the most recent activity. We also upped this from 3 to 8:

They now also show an alert if there is anything new to see:

(Same for latest threads too).

Thanks again for the great feedback and good luck with Macro Mayhem - I am sure macro-mayhem is going to be a lot of fun for you and us!

Thanks @AstonJ, those small tweaks makes things more clear! I especially like the right col bump to show more threads with recent updates.

The forum redesign has been a huge undertaking and seems to have transitioned fairly smoothly. Plus you’re really responsive in listening to this feedback - kudos to you, and a huge thanks for constantly working on such a cornerstone piece of the Elixir community!
