Feature release: Changes to story page layouts
Hey community members,
We've just released some new changes to our story item pages, and I thought it might be a good idea to list some of these here. Alongside some submission tool bug fixes, we've released a fairly substantial change to story item layout. Here's a list of the changes:
We've also made a few changes to our methodology for handling profile removals on Current, but that deserves a blog of its own, so keep an eye out for more details.
Of course, we also want to know what you think of these changes! Leave a comment, shoot us an email at feedback(at)current(dot)com, or head over to our Get Satisfaction page to let us know.

We've just released some new changes to our story item pages, and I thought it might be a good idea to list some of these here. Alongside some submission tool bug fixes, we've released a fairly substantial change to story item layout. Here's a list of the changes:
- We've made a significant change to font sizes in the item headlines, description, and comments.
- Comments, views, and story submission date are all relocated. These pieces of information deserve more prominence, so we moved them up below the story headline.
- New "more from" module below item media.
- The primary URL for a story is no longer anchored below the title of the story. We feel pretty strongly that a story can comprise of multiple URLs in the description, so making one URL directly associated with the headline seemed confusing. Now the primary URL for the story appears just above the description (below the image and the "more from" section).
- The ID card (avatar and username) of the story submitter has been moved to the top of the page. Now you'll know who submitted the story you're reading with a quick glance at the top of the right rail.
- Huge "share this" buttons below description. Now sharing with your favorite social network is easier than ever. Many people we spoke with never realized that we offered some of these options, so we've made them more prominent. Share away!
We've also made a few changes to our methodology for handling profile removals on Current, but that deserves a blog of its own, so keep an eye out for more details.
Of course, we also want to know what you think of these changes! Leave a comment, shoot us an email at feedback(at)current(dot)com, or head over to our Get Satisfaction page to let us know.
