christopher-w Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) First time I've really seen the new sidebar topic summary in action. Works really well especially on multipage threads.It gives a real flavour of what the thread is all about. Just a thought on this, it works so well that I am wondering whether something similar couldn't be used in topic lists. I've got a feeling it would do a better job than what we currently have: Edited January 8, 2021 by christopher-w bEARS, zyx, Davyc and 1 other 4
Management Matt Posted January 8, 2021 Management Posted January 8, 2021 Appreciate the feedback, thanks! We're constantly looking for new ways to improve content discovery. There are already widgets you can use to show popular content when viewing a topic list but we're definitely open to any ideas. christopher-w, OptimusBain, zyx and 1 other 3 1

There are already widgets you can use to show popular content when viewing a topic list but we're definitely open to any ideas. Would be really great to have slightly more control over the widgets. For example, on our community, we'd love a recent activity block that: Showed the name of the thread, but with the avatar and username of the person who just posted in it (rather than thread creator). Showed the forum section where the thread is (so in this case, would have a small label saying 'feedback & ideas'). Additionally, perhaps some way to incorporate a user's custom activity stream within a sidebar block. The activity streams are such a great feature, but underutilised when buried away within the activity page. Having user's be able to see a shortlist of their chosen content (based on their own settings) right there on the homepage sidebar would be brilliant. Edited February 4, 2021 by theipsguy bEARS 1
