Hubski's interface isn't as smooth as it could be, and today's update is an effort to improve it.

This update brings three major changes.

These are:

1) You hub now contains information about you. If you want to learn about another hubskier, visit their hub.

2) Your control panel which enables you to set alert preferences, etc., can be reached by clicking on your name in the upper right. Only you can see this page now.

3) When you click on names or tags, a small menu appears. This menu will let you follow or unfollow that user or tag directly, or navigate through to the hub or tag page.

I am going to be making some adjustments to this, but I'd like to begin trying out this new setup. The menus that dropped down off to the side were neat, but is wasn't very clear what content they were attached to.

In addition to these updates, some users have posted some bugs on #bugski. I have fixed a couple of these, and will continue to work on the rest. Keep them coming!

BTW, see this #bugski tag? Now if you put #'s on either side of a word, it makes that word a tag, and links to the tag page.

As always, feedback is welcome.

p.s. Welcome to you new Hubski users! This week has seen an uptick of new users joining us. Many of you are quiet, but we know you are there. If you know someone that might enjoy the site, let them know. We appreciate it. New blood keeps things interesting.

p.p.s. This is probably a good time to refresh your browser cache. :)

EDIT: It seems the feed is just a bit slower. I'm going to do something to remedy that.

thenewgreen: Let me say, bravo. I think it looks great. At first I was concerned because I hadn't followed your p.p.s... but after fretting my browser cache, it looked much nicer. Much more easy to navigate.
