Following a Puzzlover finally means something

From the start, you have been able to follow the Puzzlovers whose builds you love. But let's be honest: until now, that "Follow" button didn't do much. That changes today.

A new notification: builds from people you follow

When a member you follow shares a new build, you now get a notification, complete with a photo of their puzzle. One click and you're on their build, ready to leave a like or a kind word.

It's the best way to never miss anything from the members whose work you admire: follow them from their profile or their builds, and let notifications do the rest.

While we were at it, we also fixed an oversight: in some cases, the "so-and-so is following you" notification never went out. That's fixed, so you'll always know when someone subscribes to your builds.

The notifications page gets a fresh look

Your notifications used to be a rather plain list. They're becoming a real feed of your corner of the community:

• Faces instead of icons. Each notification shows the avatar of the person involved, with a small badge indicating the gesture: a like, a comment, a new follower. And clicking the avatar takes you straight to their profile.
• The photo of the build appears right in the notification. You know which puzzle it's about before you even click.
• An "Unread" filter to jump straight to what's new, plus the "Mark all as read" button always within reach.
• A feed grouped by day: today, yesterday, this week, earlier. Your activity reads at a glance, on mobile and desktop alike.

The bell at the top of the site gets the same treatment: same faces, same photos, same clarity.

Happy exploring, and don't hesitate to follow the members who inspire you: now it actually counts.
