The MVPs were just notified (and encouraged to share) some of the more visible items that are changing on the App Hub forums. Here's a list of the ones people should start to notice.
* You can now mark an entire forum as "read" so that you can easily read new posts when they arrive.
* Education Catalog classifications have been updated
* Sales data pipeline improvements have been made so that erroneous data will no longer be shown to creators
(Note that feed is separate from Top Download list freeze issues, they seem related but aren't)
(Also note that sales data still may occasionally be delayed due to ongoing system maintenance)
* Fixes to improve membership sign-up
scenarios
* Fixes to improve the readability of the Japanese
site.
* The site can also now be updated with security patches and fixes without requiring lengthy downtime
Some good things, some thing that some of you might not care about and others will care greatly about. The great thing is that things ARE being fixed and I'm giving a hearty cheer for that!
