The Community Interviews homepage has now been refreshed with a unique new design that gives it more of a forum topic feel rather than looking like a traditional blog or website homepage.

The idea is to make the homepage feel like you are opening an interesting community discussion, while still making it easy to discover the latest interviews.

What's new?

The refreshed homepage includes:

• Forum-style topic layout – The homepage is designed to resemble a forum topic, giving Community Interviews a more distinctive identity.

• Latest interviews – Five of the newest Community Interviews are displayed directly on the homepage.

• More Community Interviews – A section at the bottom provides an easy way to continue browsing and visit the full interviews page.

• Reply and Quote buttons – These help complete the forum-style appearance and make the interview posts feel more like an active discussion.

• Smiley icons – The posting area includes smileys to add to the forum-style experience.

• Follow and Bookmark buttons – Visitors can interact with these directly in their browser.

• Reactions – Posts can be reacted to using the available reaction options.

• Clean navigation – The homepage brings the featured interviews and links to more content together in one place.

A quick note about the interactive features

The Follow, Bookmark and Reaction features are browser-based. They aren't permanently stored on an account or database, so they won't carry over if browser data is cleared or you use another browser or device.

The Quote and Post Reply buttons are included for visual and interactive purposes only. They help create the forum-topic experience but don't actually submit a reply, quote anything, or make changes to the site.

The homepage is essentially designed to look and feel like a forum discussion while showcasing Community Interviews.

It's a different approach from a conventional homepage, and hopefully it makes browsing the latest interviews a little more interesting and interactive.
