A calmer CommonYard
A new home with your yards on the sky, calmer cards where a poll's result grows as you vote, a plainer post screen, notifications in plain words, and What you made in place of Your studio.
CommonYard got a new look from top to bottom today. Everything works as before; it’s easier to read.
The home
Your yards float on a sky that follows the hour and the weather, with the one you’re reading biggest. Under them sit Find a yard and New yard, then what moved on your own posts, then the newest posts. When a game is live, a strip says so, with Join. See Get started.
The cards
Every kind of post has its own colour and a calmer card. Tap a poll’s choice and the result grows in front of you. A petition shows a ring for how close it is to its goal, and you sign on a SIGN HERE bar.
The post screen and the thread
The post screen matches the home. Under a post’s replies, MORE POSTS carries on with the next ones, so you can keep reading without going back.
What you made
Your studio is gone. What you made — under YOU, and behind the square button on the post screen — holds everything you’ve posted and every game you made, each with Edit and Delete. The + on every bar now opens the post screen. See What you made.
Notifications, in plain words
The notifications page and its settings were rewritten. What you hear about has one switch for each kind — replies, yards, games, points, news — and Quiet at night. See Turn on notifications.
GAMES
The games page wears the same sky, with the hall of fame’s leaders on it and the four doors underneath. See Play games on CommonYard.
