This morning we released some upgrades to the mailbox. We’ve been listening to your feedback and conducting Beta tests behind the scenes and we’re now ready to release the upgrades into the wild.
We had to take the site offline this morning for a few hours. We apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Everything is now running as normal.
In summary, waves are now integrated into your inbox. Any wave you reply to becomes part of a new conversation.
Why the changes?
One of the most frequent things we hear from members is their frustration in not receiving a response from waves and emails. This is the first stage in a set of improvements that we hope will encourage more members to respond to their messages. These changes should also make your mailbox load faster.
Simplified Mailbox Design
We have removed much of the visual noise on the Inbox and Conversation views, so you can focus more on reading your messages. We have replaced the ‘bubble’ design on the Inbox with a cleaner, simplified layout. Similarly, the Conversation view has been simplified; in particular the ‘Sent’ and ‘Read’ dates have been removed at first glance. Simply move your mouse over the message to reveal these dates.
