This is so convenient! I usually love seeing the awesome entries in the new category challenges and have to sift through the different boards at the same time. Now its so simple I think its very innovative and helpful!

Yay! I'm glad people like this! Now I can't wait to get some challenges started!!

Ooh I might be able to get mine up today for the quilting board! If silly work doesn't get in the way!

The next quilting challenge is up and running, with some great prizes!

YEAH!  I like doing challenges (get to keep the stuff and all!), and I'm looking forward to being able to choose ones from boards I don't frequent much

Love this improvement!  I'd just given up on other challenges because they were so hard to find.

I am wondering, though, is it possible to have our cake and eat it, too---to make it so we can see on the challenges category  itself which sub-boards have active challenges (I mean without having to click through to each individual challenge board)?

That would be awesome! One way to kind of make that work right now, is to click on each category. Then, after you go back to the main page, any boards you that have something new since you've been there last will be in bold (if you're on the main challenge page, and you can see the child boards of each category), or the face icon to the left of each category will be in bold (if you're on the actual category challenge page). Does that make sense? Not a perfect solution, but something to work around for now at least.

Yea, you can kind of tell when you're in the Category Challenges board, since there you can see all of the last posts in each child board. You should be able to get an idea based off of their titles. The only other way currently would be to sign up for notifications on each board.

This is what I was coming here to post about. Maybe there could be a post in the main category that gets updated with the current challenges?

That's what I do.  I went to each of my favorite categories and clicked Notify on their news sections.  Usually the Moderator will post an announcement that links to the new challenge over here.
