New Feature: A new perspective on FanPosts

The SB Nation Tech guys released this feature today, allowing you to view FanPosts in "list view":

When we first released the new SB Nation platform and transitioned all your communities back in March-May this year, early feedback included many ideas on how we could make the active community conversations in FanPosts easier to follow. We kept notes and for the past few months our team kept talking about different ways to improve on what you find behind the 'FanPosts' tab in the top menu bar.

Today, we launched a new view of FanPosts: the List View. The key features are:

  • Just the facts - scan the list quickly instead of reading through full posts
  • Where is the party at? - the most recently active FanPosts, as determined by recent comments, are sorted to the top of the list by default
  • Forever popular - since FanPosts sometimes get pushed off the recommended list quickly, we added the ability to look at what was popular in different time frames - the last day, the last week, of all time (hall of fame)
  • Flexibility - there are now six different ways to look at FanPosts including the ability to switch back to the classic 'Full View' where we show the body of the post old-school style

As always, this is just a first step on a continued evolution. We figure you'll have some great feedback and we can work together to make sure FanPosts continue to be the best place to have in-depth conversations about your favorite team and sport. Please jump into the comments here and let us know what you think!

Click the "FanPosts" button in the top horizontal navigation bar to see this new feature in action.
