Hello Members!
Two years after the re-platforming and relaunch of our Community, which now serves more than 114,000+ members, we are rolling out some design improvements. The changes will offer an updated look and feel and ultimately, once fully completed, an improved user experience. Today, we rolled out a first set of updates to the 'inside' of the community.
What changed:
1. New Banner Images (site-wide)
2. New cards and action buttons - to category level pages ( aka 'landing pages')
Backdrop:
The design concept was initially born with the launch of our Qlik Gallery and was later incorporated into many of our social campaigns, such as these:

If you browse across the community you will see banner images have been updated site-wide.
Some Examples:

We also updated the cards and action buttons that sit on category level pages:

What is a category page:
Categories are the highest-level nodes in our community and are a useful tool for organizing content. From a navigation perspective you can find them as this screenshot below demonstrates. You can subscribe to a category page and we encourage you to do so!
