Did i miss something

Yea, I see it too. I like that we can rate posts and view
profiles too.
I don't like its not a real profile and that its really just
a timeline
of what posts you've made. I wonder if these are just minor
updates or
if they're getting ready to do a major facelift, because
Groups needs
it.

Yeah, I see it too, there's a new format.

The Google Groups has had a makeover.
I enjoy profiles, rating posts, etc. but would like to be
able to star
and label groups, watch topics and have more flexibility
with
managerial privileges.

Rating would cut the crap out and lets the Good stuff to
show more
prominently. This is one of the most important features now.
