The new Connect is now live! We’re thrilled to unveil this redesigned experience. Inspired by your feedback and with major inputs from a dedicated group of Connect Moderators, this new version of Connect is designed to offer a better experience for everyone in the community.
Local Guides, welcome, and thank you for being a part of this journey – we’re so excited to share this updated version of Connect with you!
Here are some of the key updates:
Easier site navigation: All content is organized into four categories but you can also choose to see everything in one place in the Topics section.
Improved search and discovery: You can now filter topics by category, tag, and country, or use the advanced search bar at the top of every page. Follow other Connect profiles to see a curated list of their topics and replies and keep track of interesting content by adjusting your Preferences.
Simpler topic and meet-up creation: We’ve made it a breeze to start your own topics — and meet-ups — from the same place on every Connect page: look out for the pencil icon! That’s right, you can now submit and manage meet-ups right here on the platform and have all recaps neatly organized in the same thread.
Most of all, we hope you enjoy the improved mobile experience. Connect looks sharper, runs smoother, and allows you to start and join conversations on your device. It’s never been easier to engage with our community on the go!
