The forum just got a facelift. In addition to filling more of your screen space with discussions, there are also a few functional changes that some people have asked for:
-
When you click Discussions in the sidebar, you'll now see more boards without having to scroll through them all (unless, of course, you're on a small/smaller screen, in which case nothing has changed!)
-
Each board will now either show how many unread notifications you have for threads you're following, or who left the most recent comment if you're all caught up on notifications. The latter is what was shown on the old forums, but having an indication of which board your notifications are coming from should help you hunt down updates in the threads you're interested in.
- When you click on a board, you'll now also get a little yellow bell next to threads that you're following that have unread replies. Again, this should help you see where your notifications are coming from a lot easier.
-
The top bar and sidebar are now the same as the rest of Notebook.ai, so you can more quickly jump around to and from your ideas and your active discussions. I'd like to bring in more integration (like previews when you link your notebook.ai pages), so unifying the two formerly-separate parts of the site is a step in that direction.
-
Images are now allowed to be much bigger in threads, which is especially exciting for the new Writing Prompts board!
As a bonus, user profiles also got a bit of polish as well. Nothing functional changed, but the page should load a little faster and looks a bit better. I plan to add more "profile"-like features to it soon, such as editing your bio/information, as well as following other users (if you'd like!).
Here's a quick before and after. You can check yours out by clicking "Creator profile" in the top-right of any Notebook.ai page. It only shows your public pages (so, if you haven't shared anything, nothing will be visible), but if you're logged in you'll see your private pages as well – they're only visible to you though!

After:
Please let me know if you see any issues with these minor design tweaks! I am looking forward to making the site better little by little each day.
Happy worldbuilding! :)
