Changes to View New Content

[Mac of Cygnet]

A couple of things have happened to my VNC.  Firstly, all the included forums are listed under the VNC title - this just takes up space.

Secondly, new posts are appearing separately - the New Boater - Just topic appears 5 times in my list, and others 2 or 3 times.

I don't want either of these - how do I change it back to what it was?

This has been raised a number of times over the last year or so.

It was said it is a function of the forum software and shows 'popular / busy' threads.

Another thing is that this topic doesn't appear in my VNC!    It appears in  Live Topics on the home page and in my other streams, but not VNC.  Something odd going on here.

Maybe Nicola has declared UDI and all links have been cut.

Same for me! I haven’t changed my settings and I don’t like it!!!

[rgreg]

Me too!

It now looks like 'View all activity'  instead of 'View new content'

[Mac of Cygnet]

Well, I sort of fixed it, but on closing and opening CWDF, it reverted to what I described,  So I've cleared out all my caches to try again.  Will report back.  The most awkward thing is this topic not appearing in VNC.

Please see this topic I've just created

So I’ve done as directed the Legacy option does not remain, it reverts to VCN and I now have 7 posts with the title of this thread. This is pants.

You need to select the legacy stream (View New Content (Legacy), then set it to default and it will remain. Instructions are in the topic linked above.

And if I'm viewing threads not signed in view new content disappears although I've done the legacy thing. Ok if signed in

I believe this setting is tied to your account. Guests will always see default settings.

Thanks Rich. It doesn't really matter I suppose.

What's the point of ever logging out anyway? Why not just stay logged in all the time?

 

(Maybe you don't want Sachintander posting in the Brexit threads as you, while you're asleep....?)

Good point + iirc people can make themselves appear invisible if they so wish, meaning they don't need logout to do that. - Though not something I feel necessary personally but each to their own

However, if there was new content this morning thread appeared in bold with a blob next to it. ONCE, 

Now I see multiples of the thread in bold, which means that on a tablet less threads show on one page so I am likely to miss items.

Click this. Then save it as default.

Thank you, I’ve clicked on it I think it is now in defaults but it is not clear if this is done, I’m using an iPad

I've used a custom activity stream for quite some time so hadn't noticed any changes. Don't know what all the whinging is about.

Well aren’t you the clever one?

You haven't read the complaints properly then have you?!

 

Read this thread, then go to VNC and see if you can still find this thread.

Was that a rhetorical question...?

I've always had my custom view set to only show content I haven't read, if I want to find something I've read then I change the filter to show all content.

 

The problem with supporting any IT system is somebody always wants something different to someone else.

So I can now see the thread I have contributed too.

How do I get rid of the 4 listings of this thread showing in the last hour’s activity of this thread?

Picture the scenario of me starting a thread such as Happy Birthday Mike the Boilerman:

If twenty five people contribute to the thread “Happy Birthday” then the entire screen on my iPad is filled with the same thread!

Hardly user friendly
