TheAuthority Posted July 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2023 What happened to the "latest posts" tab on the right of the screen? It's say "popular now" and only shows 2 posts. Was it a software upgrade or an option that was changed? I enjoyed scanning the latest topics being discussed. It's still possible to ascertain that but I did like that side tab. Link to comment
1 limpid Posted August 1, 2023 Administrator Share Posted August 1, 2023 I'm a little confused. The "popular posters" section has always been there. What is it that you can't replicate with the activity function? You should be able to create a custom stream that does what you want. Link to comment

Can you get what you want from an activity stream? Click "Activity" in the menu. Link to comment
0 TheAuthority Posted July 26, 2023 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2023 I liked it but if I am the only one that used it then thats ok! Obviously the most recent posts always bring that particular thread to the top of the page you happen to be on. Just as an on, and off topic user, it was nice to see who had been posting where most recently. Especially being on a different time zone I often miss the "hot" period when people are going back and forth. Selfishly, if something is been talked about at when I am online I like to get involved if I can. Link to comment

I can't customise these by user unfortunately. The activity streams are quite customisable though. Link to comment

0 TheAuthority Posted August 1, 2023 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2023 Got to say @limpid I don't see the benefit of changing it and I do miss it Is anyone clicking on posters profiles who are listing as "popular now"? But if a topic was listed as "popular now" isn't that more likely to entice someone in who may not have otherwise ended up there? Come on @tomav84 back me up! Is it ok to bring this up in general chat and see if others are supportive? Link to comment
0 fruitvilla Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Doesn't clicking on "activity" give all activity and latest posts by definition? Link to comment
