SMILLER Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Looks nice. Cannot find an easy way to see recent activity as in: last 24hrs, last week, etc. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it's been saved you set that as your default stream, then simply click the link and it will load. You can create as many streams as you want. They are only for your use. amym1586 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It's taking me a bit of time to get used to it (but, then, I am famously useless with Information Technology), but first impressions are that it looks good!

galvania Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Oh dear. I am finding this a bit of a struggle! Like SMiller, I can't find the recent activity either. I don't only want to see the recent unread posts. Sometimes I read a post and decide to reply hours, or even days after - then I can't find it again. and I don't particularly want to see everyone's mails saying happy birthday..... Please answer in a dinosaur-friendly way, Cliff. And, by the way, where has the library gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I read a post and decide to reply hours, or even days after - then I can't find it again. This was something that took a while for me to get used to. The site now has Activity Streams. There are some that are built in, there are 4 that I created, and at the bottom there is a button that says Create New Stream. Here you can create your own custom stream, then you can set this as your default. No one else can see it, it's just for you. 1 hour ago, galvania said: and I don't particularly want to see everyone's mails saying happy birthday. You're getting an email for each user who is having a birthday? That IS NOT supposed to be happening. Please confirm on this one. 1 hour ago, galvania said: And, by the way, where has the library gone? It was named Downloads, I just renamed it to Library.

Cliff Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I really like this new version, I've been using it for about 6 months on another site I have making sure it was stable before I started it on this site. I agree it will take a little getting used to, but I promise you, you will grow to love it. amym1586 and goodchild 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodchild Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 It definitely looks good. I haven't used the search function yet, which I find to be the greatest indicator of success. On a side note: Cliff you're administrator for another website, in addition to this one, while also being a blood bank manager for a huge institution? Do you ever eat or sleep?

On a side note: Cliff you're administrator for another website, in addition to this one, while also being a blood bank manager for a huge institution? Do you ever eat or sleep? Thank you. The search is much improved over the prior search. This is an actively worked on version by the software vendor. I held off a very long time waiting for a solid and stable version, so it seemed like a really big upgrade for us. There will be a lot of small incremental upgrades that will happen at least monthly. I probably won't even announce those unless there is a great new feature. I am not the blood bank manager here, but the compliance officer. A little less stressful I imagine. I eat plenty, something I have been trying to cut down on, and sleeping is highly overrated. Linda0623, AuntiS and Malcolm Needs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does nothing when I hit it. I suspect this is a caching issue. Did you see the notice at the top of every page? If you do not clear all of your browser cache, I'd be surprised you are able to post at all. The prior version of the editor had a lot of settings that were stored locally on your computer to make it work faster. This version of the editor is significantly more sophisticated and many of those settings have changed and are likely stuck in the old mode on your PC. 3 hours ago, galvania said: Cliff - concerning the birthdays, yes, I confirm Anna Hmm, please let me know if it happens again, after this point.

Auntie-D Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I think I must be getting old - I find it a bit 'busy'. I always used to hit 'new posts since last visit' - this is now a bit of a chore to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always used to hit 'new posts since last visit' - this is now a bit of a chore to do. I agree, it's a bit of a chore, but only once. First, try clicking the circled link at the top right. This should have been set as everyone's default stream. I suspect that is the prior view you were looking for. Once that opens, I suggest clicking the condensed view option (I like this a lot better - much less busy). I'll bet this is what you are looking for? I know it seemed like a few steps to get there, but once this is set, the site will save it for you and you only need to click on the first link above. If that isn't the search you want, please let me know. The site has a bunch already built in, and I can show you how to create your own. Then you can set that first button to be whatever search you want. It's really pretty neat. Malcolm Needs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can select this from the bottom left of any page. You should have automatically be reset to this yesterday. 59 minutes ago, galvania said: I also get birthday posts every day - but no longer peoples' replies to them I am not sure what you mean by this. The site was only supposed to make one single birthday post listing all of the birthday's for that day. It has only been in place for a week or two and I have not seen one reply to them. You are receiving emails about this? Can you copy the text of one of those emails and PM it to me? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
