Updated Recent Activity

Posted by firestormx on Jan. 9, 2011, 7:08 p.m.

Hey guys,

I made the Recent Activity a bit more user friendly, and similar to v2. I'm sorry it's taken to so long to fix up.

Should I make a "mark all as read" button, to reset the number in the footer to 0?

Do you guys have any other suggestions, or have you noticed any problems?

This blog is an exception to the "file a bug report, or it will be forgotten" rule.

…Mainly because I want people to comment, to test the RA.

Edit:

I basically made it show whether or not you've viewed something in the recent activity or not.

I also made it so that there is a "15" RA limit.

Relating to everyone complaining about how the bar stays on the bottom of the site: It makes sense. This site is a community and as such, the site should allow you to view what is happening at all times. Sure it's easy enough to go to the home page of a site and see the activity (64D v2), but the point is to encourage conversation. With the bar constantly at the bottom, people will always see what is new and what new thoughts can be thrown around.

suggestion for V4:

It should be well know by now: I'm shameless.

DFortune: If I'm on minecraft later, send me a message. I've got a tunnel I'm working on now. XD

Mazi/Kaz: I agree more with Kaz, in that I'd prefer for it to be everywhere.

Mush: check your preferences, and see if there is a checkbox in the "hide footer bar".

We need to find a more eloquent way of hiding the footer bar, without stopping you from being able to see the recent activity.

I think I'll do that now actually.

Edit: nevermind, it's too much work to design something for the left menu, if you have turned off the bottom footer. Will have to do this with Canadonian later.

Also, I didn't see your post Juurian, and…To be honest, I don't understand it. :(

At the bottom of the screen there is a little text bar with arrows, spelling out in words what the most recent activity has been.

Ah, I see. That's interesting.

Maybe I'll try incorporate that in somehow. Maybe an option to change the words "recent activity" to the name of the most recently updated blog.

Oh that might be nice. Maybe "Recent: LOL I'M A BLAHG"

Yes, add a "Mark All As Read" button. Please.
