Ask Team Vox: Going Back Home

Q: Why isn't there a "home" navigation button on every page? -- Emily

A: We saw that a few other Vox users had the same question, so we wanted to make sure you all know that the Vox logo always takes you home.

Look for the Vox logo in the upper left corner of your screen. Within the application pages (when you're in Explore, Compose, etc.), the logo is large and red. When you're looking at your blog or neighborhood or at someone else's blog, the logo will still be in the upper left but it will be smaller, and the color will change depending on the design.

Watch this video to see exactly what we're talking about:

Excellent. I was wondering the same thing. I'm loving the attention the devs are giving to our questions. Thanks to the Team.

so fancy.

It still seems like a Home link would be helpful to people who aren't used to testing such things out (less experienced folks, like my parents). IMO, you shouldn't have to read a help file or watch a video just to get to the home page.

the Vox logo should take you to the Vox home, not to the blog's or person's home. Just how I read it. I was confused too.

I often upload a video - the same format, source etc. - but today when I uploaded 4 video clips - they show message: This video is being processed and will be available soon.

Is there a server problem? I cannot access / view these videos!

I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to voice my concerns, but the Vox website is not showing up properly on my computer. I am not seeing any graphics or anything else for that matter, only lines of text.

"IMO, you shouldn't have to read a help file or watch a video just to get to the home page."

I agree, but Vox is basically for the masses, IE: the people that aren't used to visiting alot of webpages, or being online to meet new people from different places around the world. Not everyone is as computer/website saavy as you and I are =) In fact, most people don't even use the computer that much....I have no idea why not, since there's so much interesting stuff online, but I guess it doesn't interest them [[shrugs]].

I'm having the same problem as Emily. The Vox website is not showing up properly on my computer. I am not seeing any graphics or anything else... only lines of text. It's extremely discerning!

this has nothing to do with the question asked.. but why is vox messed up for me? this is what i see everytime i come to the page, http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/barnya/vox.jpg

lawr, it almost looks like you're seeing some sort of mobile version of the site, doesn't it?

I'm also having the problem with my site being all messed up: no graphics, no ability to post, etc. for a week now. I'm VERY frustrated.

Exact same Problem here, Driving me Nuts, Cant even post.

Are you able to delete a vox account?

Hi Team Vox. How 'bout including an access agnostic multimedia mobile blogging capabilities ???

What is wrong with the site this morning? It is all messed up..everything is white..was it hacked or something?

Fellow Vox Users...

Some of you mentioned that you had experienced an issue and were unable to see graphics. I'm happy to announce we've identified the issue and pushed out the fix today.

I apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions or comments please either submit the feedback via the Feedback link in the nav bar or email me directly at Rachel@sixapart.com

Cheers.

Wow. I just thought it was very obvious that the logo would take you to the homepage. I didn't know there needed to be a tutorial about it. D: People must be getting dumber these days.
