Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 15, 20159 yr Will we be able to configure the activity stream to look like New Content used to look? It was nice and clean with only two lines of text per entry with 20 entries per page. Now it's multiple lines and I need to scroll to the bottom and select more to see how much there is to read. I do not like it at all and would love to be able to modify it for my site to have what I had. This really looks terrible compared to the old look. Much less user friendly.

September 15, 20159 yr +1. Unfortunately the current look is not user friendly. The novice user is forced to make numerous settings to get quality content.

I took a quick look and didn't see I could do it as an end user here.

September 15, 20159 yr Management We are still evaluating the cosmetics of the Activity Streams. Now that it is here live and getting more usage I am sure we will continue to make improvements
September 15, 20159 yr Author OK, new Post: I strongly like Charles commitment to improving the product!

September 15, 20159 yr Is it just me or the Activity Stream is much slower here than it was in the test site? Also slower than the old View New Content. Its taking me +/- 20 seconds to load.

I think I might actually be starting to like it. Honestly, if it weren't for the video that you reluctantly created I would still dislike it. All you said was how powerful it was. As an end user I could not see that. After seeing the ACP and what it can do it's impressive. I still won't use it, I'll likely create a default bare bones one and force that on users, at least for a while. I have found that on my active site, they really don't like change, any change, even if it's good change.

We think people will enjoy that ultimate user flexibility. Besides, it's up to the user.
September 15, 20159 yr Management I feel if we went from strongly dislike to starting to like it in less than a page we're on the right track here
