PsychoGoldfish just pushed a big feed update live. If you aren't logged in, you won't notice. Sign up to join the fun!
Get to your feed by clicking "YOUR FEED" on the far right of the navbar.
Important notes:
1) You will probably see a GIANT number of new feed items noted on the front page. This is because the new system has been running for a while now. The number will reset when you look at it.
2) The star in the header now only appears when you have new feed items. It no longer serves as a mini-feed.
3) The friends button in the header now only appears when you have pending requests.
4) When browsing your feed, click the GEAR icon on an item for an explanation of why it is there and the ability to exclude it from your feed. The page to manage these details is another week away so you won't be able to undo things you remove at the moment.
We'll be watching to see what concerns crop up as a result of the new system. It might feel like information overload at first but give it a chance to soak in!
EMAIL UPDATE
We updated the formatting of our emails this week, they now look like this.
The weird thing is that gmail appears to be sending the emails to the SPAM folder. They weren't previously going there so it could be something with the formatting, but to our knowledge we are following all of Google's recommendations. We'll be doing tests each day with changes to see if that solves it.
Can you please do the following?
1) Check your spam folder for emails from Newgrounds. If they are there, click the "Not SPAM" button at the top of the page when you read the email.
2) Check your email address on file and make sure it is up-to-date, so we aren't sending emails to a bad address.
If you want to be sure you are / aren't getting the emails, manage your subscriptions.

I agree with you, I preferred the star icon. If you have questions contact one of the staff members in charge of the correct functioning of Newgrounds.
