Since Hubdub launched we’ve tried to continually improve the homepage (check out this blast from the past). So, based on recent feedback from various sources we’ve made some further refinements. We’ve tried to:

• Highlight the explanation of what Hubdub is for new users by making use of more colour
• Reduce clutter by dropping featured questions, reducing the size of the tag cloud and removing the paging from the top of the question list (it is still shown at the bottom)
• Highlight activity of existing users by moving the “Latest activity” box up on the right hand side and enlarging the stats on live predictions and open questions
• Encourage predictions and demonstrate the concept better by featuring a single question at the top of the homepage and category pages with prediction buttons
• Give credibility with a quote from The Independent
• Highlight current hot topics for easy access via “Popular now” links.

We hope you think these changes make Hubdub easier to use and understand - let us know your thoughts in the forums.
