Hi Admin (obvs the glitch sorted itself out!)
Thanks for the improvements so far.
Re: Latest Activity.
Latest Activity is NOT an Activity Stream but a snapshot of posts at a given time, not a live list of posts, as per the Activity Stream on the old Forum. If a thread has more than one post, only the last post shows up, click on that and you miss out on earlier posts unless you happen to scroll up.
It is the absence of this live Activity Stream showing posts, not threads, which is a huge drawback, in my view at least. Because there is no live stream, it is necessary to check regularly for new content, or not.
Latest Activity is not a catch-all. Take a look at these 2 screenshots – I’ve shown the filters applied – by your reckoning, there was no activity between Deb’s post @15.47 and Admin’s post to Barry @17.04. Latest Activity does not show the post made by Lcfcno1fan @16.57, which I found under New Topics and is excluded in the filters suggested/default, so posts will be missed. And yes, I know I can change my filters in Latest Activity and do 2 searches but it’s more work, it’s becoming a common theme…
I dont know if there is scope to configure a live Activity Stream or a Latest Activity which captures every post individually?
Take Care.
Love Ellie.
