Feature Update: New Email Designs!

What we heard from you

“Sometimes it’s hard to read the emails from Aardvark — it’s hard to tell which part is the question or answer, and how you’re supposed to respond.”

“The emails from Aardvark look too boring!”

“I would like to see the same answer options for email questions as IM questions.”  (from our Community Forum)

What we did

We just launched a completely new design for the emails that Aardvark sends you!

The new emails are easier to read, include more details about the person you’re interacting with, and give you all sorts of new options for how to respond. You’ll see special versions of the email when Aardvark sends you a question that you might be able to answer, an answer to something you’ve asked, or a message from another person.

For instance, now when Aardvark sends you a question, it looks like this:

You can always ask a question of your own via email by sending it to aardvark@vark.com — and you can just put the question topic in the subject line.
We hope you like the changes… let us know what you think in the comments or the Aardvark Community Forum!

    Have had some problems with the new format. When I reply to them, they come back to me as an error.
    I get a message asking me if what I replied was a question or whatever.
