What do you think of the new Spotlight look of ended projects?

Dislike:
1. if you backed "no reward" or more money than the reward you pledged you no longer see how much you pledged. Not a big deal for people who don't back many projects to go through their backer history to find a project and see how much they backed for. But for addicts... I mean super backers its a pain.

2. See creator info/projects they've backed - takes more steps

Like:

1. On the other hand I like the update layout. It gives a nice easy way to see project & updates (date & heading) from start to present.

2. I also like the button which creators can use to take me directly to website or pre-order option

What do you like/dislike?

Is THAT what happened?

I've been looking over some successful projects gleaning information to help me with one I'm getting started and nothing seemed to be where I thought it was supposed to be!

At first glance, I don't much care for it at all.

And at second glance, I still don't think I've found anything to recommend it.

I'm with ShadowCub. First, second, and third glances - they've helped us when no assistance was needed.

The only time I would recommend this spotlight mode is after rewards are received - they should turn it on after you've hit the 'got it' button on a particular project, or make it controllable in your Settings section.

oh yes I like the idea of waiting to use spotlight until you've sent rewards.

Might work for unsuccessful projects also which are trying other ways of getting funding outside of a relaunch.

I am finding it very frustrating to have to hunt and peck to find out how much I have backed for, particularly for projects that include a lot of add ons.
