'Remove, Report, and Ban' Post Option for Community Moderators We're happy to announce that moderators now have better tools to keep their communities healthy and happy with a 'Remove, Report, and Ban' option on community posts. Accessed via the post overflow menu (aka three dots), the option will remove the post and member from the community, report the post to Google for us to look at, and ban the member from joining the community again. As always, this feature is rolling out to community moderators over the next several hours. Enjoy!

Reshare to Google+ in fewer clicks As of today, when you hit the share icon on a Google+ post, you'll automatically be taken to a Google+ reshare of the post. Previously, users were given an option between Google+ and other social options. This was done in an effort to reduce the number of clicks it took you to reshare Google+ content on Google+. While there is no longer direct share capability to other social sites, copy/paste from the address bar in your browser still works just fine. We hope this will make your experience here a little bit more seamless and thanks for the feedback that got us here!

Making the G+1 button load more quickly The G+1 button is shown billions of times per day on web pages around the world, so it’s important that it load as quickly and efficiently as possible. To make it easier for people to load and share the pages they’re interested in, we’ve created a simpler G+1 button sharing experience. Beginning in a few weeks, clicking the +1 button will open a streamlined new Google+ sharing dialog, and the G+1 button will no longer display a +1 count. If you’re a publisher, you can rest assured that these +1s do not affect search ranking and the size and layout of the button will remain the same. These changes will only affect the G+1 button outside of Google+. The +1 button within Google+ will continue to work the same way it always has. If you’d like to view all of the pages you’ve +1’d over the years, you can download a list using Google Takeout. We hope this change makes it that much easier to check out and recommend all the interesting things you dis

Our top bar got a (minor) makeover As some of you may have noticed, we've replaced the red in our top navigation bar with white in certain destinations on web (iOS coming soon) to make everything a little nicer on the eyes. Based on your feedback, we think you guys are gonna like this. Enjoy!
