Thread: Bring Back the Old "Activity Stream"

  1. #1

    Default Bring Back the Old "Activity Stream"

    I posted this on my thread a few days ago, but perhaps not too many people have seen it. Thought I'd put it in the Suggestion area for better exposure. Here's what I wrote...

    Boo.

    I like the old way better. If the conversation looked interesting, you could click on the link if you wanted to read more. Now, you don't have any idea what's being said until you click on every link.

    I don't have time for that.

    My vote is to bring the old way back.

    Several people agreed with this suggestion, but perhaps Tom needs to see more widespread agreement before he makes a change.

    If you agree, (or disagree) please say so on this thread. Your comments are appreciated!

    I think Tom has been busy with other things the last few days and hasn't had enough time to answer your question. He'll be back in action soon.

    I think it would be an improvement, if it can be done? vB isn't the easiest program to work with, but if anyone can do it, it's Tom.

    I replied on John's thread so I'll reply here too. YES! Please bring back the old first few words thing. I really miss it...

    I actually am not sure what the old way was. I never really used the "What's New" page.

    I will look for what other forums are saying but unfortunately if we go back to the old way we could never upgrade the forum software again since every new upgrade and bug fix versions, would have the old way and they upgrade about once every month or two.

    If other forums are complaining it's possible they will take that into consideration and make a change to the current format.

    Try the "WHAT'S NEW" link in the menu, I think it has the info they are missing.

    You mean when you hover your mouse pointer over a thread title and a box pops up with the first few lines?

    Tom, if you go to the Forum main page, and look at the "Activity Stream", it now only states that "Person A" posted in "Person B's" account talk. The previous version showed the first sentence or two, so we could see if we wanted to read more. We miss that.

    Doesn't sound like the new software update allows us to see what is being said in that conversation unless we click on every link, which is too time consuming.

    Perhaps nnuut is right. I'll try going to the "What's New" page from now on to see what people are talking about, and see if I want to click to read more.

    Thanks,

    JR

    Oh, OK. I misunderstood. I thought we were talking abou the new What's New page activity stream. I actually CAN bring that old one back. I'll get it done. Sorry for the confusion.

    Not having the video pages, or the photo pages, like they used to be is very bad now. No way to look at the media in separate threads- it's all jumbled up together. In addition, it doesn't list in the "recent activity thread" so you can't see what is new for "photos" or "videos".

    I liked it the way it was before.

    My 2 cents.
