We will keep the black CTA banner for non-logged in state.

   2. Can we show most active members (minus ClimateX team members)?
5. Recent activities zone
   1. Make title clickable

   2. Laura and Ning, do we agree?– This makes thing look "fresher" on the page right?
7. Image

8. Card Type Banner
   1. Clarifies whether card is a video, post, podcast, or project
   2. Ning needs to create new version that includes this

Ning and Laura

1. I feel like this Learn Lander should have a header – when clicking in from the Learn Top Nav – that distinguishes it a little from a Search results page.
2. How many entries per page before we show the pagination – 10 entries?
3. I'd like to think about a sort toggle in the top right of the page
   1. Most recent - either date of last comment or date posted if now comments
   2. Most active – whichever post has the most comments
   3. Other ideas
      1. (Most popular? – some combo of liked and active...we might want to wait on this for a bit)
      2. (Most viewed – we should see if Mike can use this metric for sorting)
   4. The toggle should make it clear which sort is currently active.
      
      
      

1. Results feedback
   1. When arriving on this page from Learn top nav click, text should read:
      1. "<##> Posts, Videos and Podcasts to explore"
   2. Following interaction with filters, text should read:
      1. <##> results
   3. Results should be sorted
      1. In reverse chronological order – most recent first
      2. Date is
2. Topics filter
   1. Lists topics (in alphabetical order)
   2. No numbers beside each topic (as depicted in design)
   3. Behavior:
      1. One clicked box shows all entries with that Topic as primary or secondary selection
      2. Two clicked boxes shows all entries with EITHER Topic A or Topic B – (super set of either Topics, NOT a subset of only those with both)
3. Type filter
   1. Lists types
      1. Currently Video, Podcast or Post only
4. Card banner – Post, Video or Podcast
5. Card Author – image and name and date of card creation
6. Card image
   1. With Icon overlay to show what type of object it is
7. Card details
   1. Title
8. Add Comment button
   1. Click anchor links to "Add Comment" button at bottom of Card Detail page. (doesn't actually let you make a comment yet)
9. Icons
   1. Comment icon
      1. Shows number of comments
      2. Clickable icon goes to "Add Comment" button at bottom of Card Detail page
      3. Laura and Ning - should the "Add Comment" button be a "Read Post" button?
   2. Like icon
      1. Shows number of likes
      2. Clickable icon goes to "Like Post" button at <where?> on Card Detail page
         
         

Mike – this is the basic idea of what we'd like

We'll go with whatever variants are most easy to execute from you end.

We need to auto enter location for new visitors using geolocation

Should we ask users to give us their primary interest?
