A new homepage, full screen video, and profile filtering! Oh my!

February is coming to a close, but we’ve made some updates to Current.com. Before you make the leap into March, check out some of our brand spanking new features.

Here’s the skinny:

-- Homepage --
Last month we unveiled a sneak peak at the brand new homepage on Current.com. We’ve gathered a wealth of feedback from members of the community, and today we take off the sneak peak mode training wheels. If you haven’t already, take a gander. As always, continue to let us know what you think.

-- New Video Player --
We’ve updated the look of our video player, and packed some new functionality in as well. The video player now includes full screen playback, and a menu that offers up the embed code, a direct link to the video, and the top 6 stories on Current.com.

Check out this clip for the JAM Awards to see the new player in action firsthand: http://current.com/items/88853165_jam_awards_world_prem...

-- Profile Activity Filtering --
Sorting through someone’s activity on their profile can be a chore, but no longer! We’ve updated our user profiles with the ability to sort someone’s activity by submissions, credits, responses, or votes. Visit any member’s profile and select a filter from the drop down menu in the activity section.

Here are a few more noteworthy updates to share:

-- Toolshed --
We’ve added a labs section to the site. There you’ll find some handy tools and widgets available to Current.com members. We only have two at the moment, but we’ll be adding more soon.

-- Topic Merging --
Our team now has the ability to merge related topics together into one thread, which will hopefully help cut down on some of the redundancies on the site.

Let us know what you think by adding a response to this thread or sending an email to comments@current.com. February is coming to a close, but we’ve made some updates to Current.com. Before you make the leap into March, check out some of our ... more
