Unread content

[Hawkez]

I see the same thing as AH64ID , I have tried to refresh the setting and filters and nothing seems to change.  It wasn't always like this.

That's the unread content icon. All it does for me is bring up the unread content, which still has the issue.

No it wasn't. 

 

It could be a software thing and it could be a setting thing, but none of the settings seem to make a difference.

 

@Mopar1973Man

 

What stream and filters are they talking about? How do I reset back to default settings?

Sitting here playing with mine and I dont think what Isaw was on mine was the same issue, just similar. When click that icon it goes to that page like you posted, I have just never used that page. I just use home page and it shows me all the unread posts or new topics.

Gotcha. I use the "unread content" button all the time. The home page doesn't seem to have any real method to its order of display.

It works for thechnologically illiterate.

@AH64ID Could you show a screenshot of the settings your using?

[AH64ID]

@Mopar1973Man like this?

 

Do you not have the issue Michael?

 

[AH64ID]

What do the developers have to say about it?

 

It didn't used to be this way. 

[AH64ID]

I’ve been using my phone more, and the glitch makes it very frustrating to search new threads. 

 

Any updates?

[Smarty Support]

It does make it a bit of a challenge.

Are we any closer to having a fix for this? Having to scroll through an entire page of "unread" posts from the same topic has gotten old. Definitely wasn't always like this. What's worse is clicking on one of those posts doesn't bring you to that post anymore, or the first one you haven't read. It goes to post #1.

Click the star or bullet not the link. The star or bullet will take you to the last read post. The link will take you to the first post.

Sometimes it helps to mark everything as read and start over. Now that I've done the same thing my list is clean.

That doesn't fix the issue. 

 

Also, I'm not receiving notifications again.

Microsoft blacklisted the IP address again. Crappy Microsoft email is the only ones that do this.

Actually, it is working as designed that I can see. When you pick and chose threads and it pulls out that post then others will stack together. It suppose to post every post up in the timeline. So if you happen to read one post and then you could have 3 in a row same thread. It suppose to show each post, from the member at that time. It doesn't just post the last post up. 

So when you clear your read list and start over then the activity stream is as in TIME. Each post is listed in the ORDER of TIME. Once you read that thread then ALL those posts go away in the list but if you ignore them the list grows and grows and it seems like the long list of the same thread because you never read the thread. Hence why the Mark all as Read works because now the list is empty and starts fresh listing all thread you follow in time. 

 

 

That notice. Today tag... Everything listed for today in order of TIME. Then yesterday in the order of TIME.  

If you want better control then do NOT automatically follow everything. Turn that feature off and only follow things you mark as follow. Then you only get the post you want to follow. Most are set up as automatically follow anything I reply to. The blue highlighted you want to UNCHECK.

 

 

You can manage all your activity stream better on the notification screen.  

 

[AH64ID]

Mine looks nothing like that. It may be working as intended, but it's not like any other forum and it's rather annoying to search unread content. 

 

I also don't think it has anything to do with the content I follow, as only one of the ones in my current unread content feed are anything I follow. 

 

Marking as read will clear it out, but it doesn't fix it for next time I logon and search unread content. 

 

 

 

new radio yaaay!, and My butt is finally level. should only appear once. Not once for every new post. 

No that's not the way it designed.

Sorry about the post.

 

Ok now to display what is happening. Its an Activity Stream in time. 

 

Every single post in time is listed in order of time. All posts since your last visit and reading. 

 

I had to log in and expand your page to show time.

 

I replied to new radio yaaay... at 6:52pm

 

 

Then Dave110 responded 7:06pm. These two post did actually happen. 

 

 

Now to make those go away go read the thread it is removed. If you skip over it and not read it then that topic remains. If your skipping the post constantly then it appears to pile up all one topic. The only way to fix this is to go read that topic or remove yourself from following the topic then it will NOT post in the Activity Stream. The other way is to Mark Every Read. But like you said this isn't a fix because the followed topics continued to pop up and list. Then if you continue to skip a topic then it stacks up again. The only way to stop that is NOT to follow that topic by going to your notification list and removing that topic. The other way is to stop automatically following anything you reply to.

 

Another trick on the Activity Stream...

 

Bullet or Star goes to the last post read - https://mopar1973man.com/topic/15708-front-driveshaft-woes/?do=getNewComment

 

Click the main link of any post in the activity stream the first post comes up - https://mopar1973man.com/topic/15708-front-driveshaft-woes/

 

As you can see the URL are very different.

Yes, that is what's happening what we are all trying to relay is that it wasn't always this way. This way is incredibly annoying, so much so that I rarely search for new threads. If it's not in the top 10 notifications (which I have seen as 1 thread before) then I'm not digging thru it. 

 

Is there no way to fix it?

Just updated to 4.4.0 software tonight.

So I guess not? 

 

Hard to believe it’s not a setting somewhere, since it used to be better and different.
