A Relatively Quiet Week
For me, at least, most of this week was focused on tuning up the new community after the migration. Some minor visual improvements were made this week in response to feedback, including adding some useful message views to the More menu. The new platform and the number of hands involved means it takes a little longer to roll out enhancements. More is coming soon, so bear with us.
One thing we did add this past week was a dedicated space for the VSX product. Some might say it's long overdue, and you're right. We've had a lot of VSX-specific threads over the last couple years, and now we have a specific space to put them in!
Here are the threads to watch from the last week:
