Steemit.com UI Release 0.1.170201

in steemit •  8 years ago  (edited)

We are happy to announce a new release of Steemit.com!

Here are a few noteworthy upgrades.


Author profile images on posts


Large-format Twitter cards

We've updated our Twitter cards to use large images — very beneficial for social marketing.

Images get 18% more clickthroughs, 89% more favorites and 150% more retweets than text.

Updates to flag display


There is a new stake-based indicator next to the flag icon on posts and comments. As you can see, the previous indicator did not accurately represent the "weight" of down-votes — sometimes even 4 flags are meaningless, while 1 can be heavy. It all depends on the STEEM Power of the voting user and their vote weight.


Multi-Resteems

This feature will be rolled out to all users over the next 24 hours. Now see when multiple people you are following resteem the same post.


Happy Steeming!

any chance we could separate our own blogs from the resteems? I haven't seen it if it is possible already

makes much sense

Got a screenshot of @walden before and after the UI-Changes:

Looks much better now :)

Wut? Sorry man but I feel like I'm playing those "spot the difference" type game!

Excellent, the upward march continues

Good to see this, thanks a bunch for sharing the good news our way. Namaste :)

Thanks Steemit devs, much appreciated all the work y'all are doing for the platform!!!

Great work guys. Thanks for the update.

fun

Showing dots instead of numbers is a good psychological workaround, however, I still stand behind my proposal.

Hey, dots indicating deepness of nests is a new feature or I was blind until now? :D
It's good, I used to scroll up sometimes to know where I am. :)

It was added in the previous release a few weeks ago. :)

I see again, people, I see again, it's a wonder! :D

I didn't make much comments I guess... But I know why, it's a mental drug, and when I start it, I cannot put it down, like today. And I don't do what I should in the end... The feature is nice, anyway.

awesomeness!

very nice improvements. I like the multi resteem the most.

Good job. Thanks.

Many great changes for sure. But we still need to work on those flags.

Redacted.

hey, who invited David :)

Awesome stuff, thanks so much!

Very nice!

It's cool..now,when you see a dot next to flag on this comment,you then know that i been "attacked" by "asshole account bot".
Just kidding,i love new changes! :))

Steem-tastic!

Fanta-Steem!

Nice, I wish I could change my picture!

Which picture?

Profile picture

You can do it here. (I didn't see that you have already got an answer.)

It didn't work...the Update box should turn dark blue but it stays faded and the circle with the slash comes up

I have no idea why. I recommend @ausbitbank's solution.

.. why can't you change your picture ?
The option is here ..

When I switch the url it won't let me update

Are the button not activating or what?

Yes, the button doesn't activate! I wasn't sure how to say it, but that's it, when I switch URL's the Update button won't activate...I get a red circle with the line.

OK, I got it. That means something is wrong with the URL you type/paste into the field. We could close out other unexpected things, if you delete the existing URL, and the button activates (it should).

If you get a red Invalid URL message under the field with the new URL, make sure that it starts with http:// or https://
It would also help if you would paste the URL of the image here that you want to use (it will be public anyway, like mine or anyone else's).

Is it a valid URL beginning with http:// or https://?


This is the URL

I don't get it, pasting that url into the settings box works fine for me ?
As an experiment though, perhaps save the image locally and then upload it to the busy.org server instead - via https://steemconnect.com/profile or go to https://busy.org and click your username pic in the top left (after login)

Sweet!

Congratulations dear friend @ steemitblog for the achievements.
The great work is appreciated

Excellent work gentlemen! Always nice to see progress.

Personally I believe the way the flagging is proposed here is slightly better than the way it was before. Silly as it sounds the flag has a psychological aspect to it and hopefully dots are less imposing than numbers to the masses. :)

great updates, guys!

So, I've never really used twitter. What's a twitter card, and how does one use it?

Obviously, it will good changes )

Nice! Anybody else got a dysfunctional fb share button on this post? On my OnePlus 3.
