What’s up at Netvibes?

Behaviour change on Public Pages

We’ve recently made a change to Public Pages behaviour and we wanted to notify you. The change affects the way tabs and widgets are displayed. A few months ago, we added the possibility to have “transparent” widgets. Making a widget transparent means that you can see the background image through the widget (unless the widget forces a color).

With the recent update, we are going further by hiding completely the widget title, making your Public page look even better to your visitors.

The same kind of change has been applied to the tabs: when there is only one tab, the whole navigation is hidden.

Please note that these changes only apply to your Public Page as your visitors see it. If you’re logged in, you will still see the titles and the tabs.

So basically, it does not change anything for those only using private pages?

It would be great to be able to hide title/options in private pages too. In that case the title/options should be displayed only when there is a ‘mouse over’ event. CSS should be enough for that.

All very well, but can you get the basics working again?

The mobile version of netvibes used to be very easy to navigate, but now it’s over styled and needs javascript, and so fiddly, you may as well not bother using it.

Plus it doesn’t seem to remember which articles you’ve read on the pc and sync the mobile version.

Thanks for improvements.

Agree with 3 _ Pete:

"The mobile version of netvibes used to be very easy to navigate, but now it’s over styled and needs javascript, and so fiddly, you may as well not bother using it"

So, please, give back a super simple Wap.netvibes version!

Links in webnotes are not working properly anymore (even on my PC)and that was one of the key point in having a wap version of netvibes.

I agree on the comment above with the mobile version. Using javascript on mobile phones is still in it’s infancy, and most phones do not run javascript at all, and if it does it never works right. Sometimes keeping things simple is better.

Netvibes is great!
I want to thank you SO much for suggesting Shareaholic. It is fantastic. I thought it was only for Firefox, but it can be used by many browsers, including Google Chrome. I’m in Heaven.
