all new posts

[2xy]

I came to this forum to see if this had been addressed, and someone posted about it a month or so ago, but the issue was deemed "resolved" and the thread was locked so I can't reply there.

With regards to the auto-refreshing of "all new posts," Cynthia Mosher said:

"One thing you can try is using the activity feed version of the All New Posts page."

Sorry, but I have no idea what this means or how to try using this version. Could you explain? Thanks.

When you click on Subscriptions you should see this:

There are two tabs - "Activity" and "Edit My Subscriptions" Try the Activity tab, which will be what displays for you when you first come to the page. To the right you see "Subscriptions Only" Leave that set with the blue button and you will get recent activity for the Products, Forums, Wikis, and Profiles you have subscribed to. You will see each of those - Products, Forums, Wikis, and Profiles - have a green button next to them. You can unclick any of them to disable that type of content in the activity results. So, when you click the green button next to Products it should turn grey and then you will see recent activity in Forums, Wikis, and Profiles. If you just want to see recent activity for Forums you unclick the green buttons next to the others. You should then see the result regenerated and get a list of all recent activity to forums you are subscribed to.

If you want to see all activity, not just those things you are subscribed to, just click the blue button next to "Subscriptions Only" and it will turn grey to indicate you have disabled it. The list will regenerate and you will see most recent activity, somewhat equivalent to "All New Posts". 

This is a very different set up compared to the way subscriptions and "New Posts" were on our previous platform so it takes a bit of working with it to get used to it. :)
