Hub Stats and Hub Group Interface Updates

This week I'm also pleased to announce updates to the Hub Stats and the Hub Group interface.

We have updated the entire system for processing the Stats that show on each of your individual Hubs, and we've added a Countries tab as well to let you know which countries your Hub receives the most traffic from. You can check out the recent Forum post for the full announcement. We hope you like the new system!

We also released a recent update to the user interface for managing your Hub Groups. You can access the interface in the Groups section of your My Account page. You can find detailed instructions for using the new interface by clicking the "help" option to the upper right of your list of Hub Groups. You can also read the full Hub Group announcement in Marina's recent Forum post.
