I like that the stream drop down has been moved on its own.  Could you also add a one click option for it?

And something odd has happened to the theme, it seems to be in mobile view.

Please try emptying your cache... if that doesn't work can you submit a bug report with your browser info? Obviously it shouldn't be squished like that

I am digging the new placement for the streams button. 

Here is what the editor looks like.

Obviously something wrong with your browser interpreting size. If you can post a bug we'll have a look

A simple Ctrl-F5?  That didn't work.  Chrome, WIn7.

Done

I'm not really a fan of the new location.  It might just be the tiny print of medium gray on light gray, but it is practically invisible over there.  I don't see most of my users ever noticing it in that location.  Though, being honest, they probably were only marginally more likely to click it on the main menu.  I also don't like that all the interfacing for that stream is now on an obscure drop down menu.  Having a 'home' sort of page for the streams would be more useful for the non-power users.

 I could have sworn that was what you had...

Though, with the skinning and power of the new menu system, I presume I'll be able to tailor it with little difficulty?

At least it's where the New Content link is currently, that's a start.  Once it has a one click option, it will be so much closer to the current New Content link.

Most streams are giving me this message:

Give everything a few minutes It's still deploying to our live site.

Thank you IPS for adding Activity Streams back to the right side Utilities menu.

Happening to me as well. Chrome 45.

Only happens in condensed mode though, not the expanded mode.

We will fix that shortly

Well, it is condensed.

Same here. Already deleted cookies, Ctrl+F5, logged out, etc.

FF 41.0.

My first inclination was to click the check mark which asked if I wanted to mark all read.  I imagine all our members will be doing this also,

Oh and I liked the stream on a navigation tab, if it worked ok.  I can  just add it in myself,

Yes if you click Mark site as read it will mark the site as read.

In the chat earlier I suggested they put the Streams at the top and the Mark site read at the bottom.  We'll see if they like that idea.

Three notes:

1. Moving the Activity Stream to where the View New Content link was makes a lot of sense - it will be easier for people to find it and adapt.

2. Having the topic titles above who posted it and where is NICE.

3. I like the sidebars as it further highlights how useful this tool is.

Suggestion:

When a user likes something, unlikes, and likes again, don't show in stream again. This allows users to place something in the stream for attention whenever they want. It will surely be abused.

I tested it here. It popped up in the stream again. On my site I keep self-liking/reputation off, but it can still be abused by doing it to others' posts, and some admins keep that setting on (like here).

Side note, I really wish rep was separate from likes. Or in the least, if you allow self-likes, don't count those toward reputation. Otherwise everyone will make a post and like it just to boost their rep. They make 500 posts, they have 500 rep in the community... from themselves.

Thanks

Today's changes are great but...

In my opinion something like this would work better.

FAR RIGHT the one-click AA, those used to VNC may click site read by mistake. Stream selection to the left of that. Mark site read on far left.

 

In re to liking your own post it should not count toward the Popular Contributors box either. Liking your own post is not really an issue if that's all it does but it should not have anything to do with rep, ranking, etc. Abuse will happen so admins will just keep it off. I suggest we be able to allow it but it not count toward those things (for self-Likes), and only appear in the stream once if like/unlike/like happens. Thanks

 

Liking your own post is a group permission - I think it's turned off by default.

I know.  I guess the solution is turn it off. With it on those issues are present though. Thanks

PS. It's on here and you can make your content reappear in the stream whenever you want with unlike/like, or make yourself a popular contributor by liking all your posts.

And you could unlike/like others' content as well so that's still an issue. Maybe create a function if you like something again, mark it liked, but don't treat it as new (as it will appear as new in stream every time.)  

 

 

The new font size in the stream is MUCH easier on the eyes, and the fact content items aren't larger anymore, yes!

And tomorrow there will be content counts. Looking good!
