Can Unread Activity Stream Show Topics Rather Than Posts?

Featured Replies

As the title say, is this possible? Showing multiple posts that are unread seems inefficient vs showing the topic in which the posts are in. Clicking on the topic in the activity stream would then take you to the first unread post.

Nobody else wants this option, or you already have it working?

An activity stream full of posts from a very active topic, only annoys users.

Hi @Chris027

Members can create their own streams:

My Activity Streams > Create New Stream

Select: Content Type (Topics); Read Status (Content I Haven't Read)

There is also the ability to create new default streams in the ACP. Unfortunately, the options are more limited:

https://your-website.com/admin/?app=core&module=discovery&controller=streams&do=form

As far as I know, our members make little use of Activity Streams, but I can see that your suggestion makes sense for those communities which make more use of them. The search system suffers from a similar problem: search for a topic title and it returns all the individual posts within a topic.

Thanks for the post @Como

As you can see, even creating my own activity stream, using the options you suggested, doesn't fix this.

I see other people have asked for this in the past but there doesn't see to be an appetite for Invision to change it. My community is telling me the v4 site worked correctly, but is not happy with how v5 is working. I can't confrim as my v4 site is no longer.

Look at this activity stream. Multiple items for a single topic, is kind of crazy in mine, and my community's opinion.

Stream Activity Issues

I like LOTPW, but its posts are flooding the stream. My main concern is it will be harder to find serious discussion. Is it possible for the activity stream to only post the newest post of a thread? E
