    Thoughts on the new activity stream in the updated vbulletin?

    What is the activity stream supposed to do that new posts doesn't? I guess I don't understand the purpose.

    It's not gone. It's labelled Articles.

    I agree. I'm not a fan.

    I guess "new posts" is still there, too, but harder to find.

    Re: Activity Stream

    So the page Titled "Front page" is no longer at the front? Maybe an Activity Stream in an embedded, scrollable window on the Front page would have been OK. But to move the Front page for this?

    Again, sorry BOK but I like it even less now, but I'm only one person. Maybe others will think its cool.

    Re: Activity Stream

    When I click on the "What's New?" tab I'm sent to Activity stream Screen. That supposed to happen? Are they one in the same? I don't mind it but do want our Front Page back tab. Thanks Bok.

    Yes, it appears to go to that screen and then presents the links for all the individual 'what's new' content underneath those main tabs.

    Activity stream seems to be more like all types of activity rather than just new posts, the admin panel allows you to select what types of content go into it, though I just left it all at defaults. Blog posts, group messages, photos, etc etc.

    I don't recall the 'front page' tab at all as I didn't use it? I haven't upgraded the Free-DC forums yet but I don't see a Front Page link there either (it's slightly different as I have VBAdvanced as the front though I'd like to get rid of that and use the CMS instead at some point). Perhaps 'Home' there is the same thing. Isn't the 'Articles' tab just renamed from Front Page perhaps? It's likely possible to rename it if so.
