Analyst444 182 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I check this forum almost every day. I've tried to create a customer stream that would show me only new "topics" or "Content I Follow". I do not want to see replies to "topics" I have not marked as "Content I Follow". I have not figured out how to construct such a stream. Can it be done? If yes, could someone please explain how to do it? Thanks. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,306 Posted January 13, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted January 13, 2016 No only show me new threads I haven't opened before option that I can find, it that is what you are asking. Link to comment
Analyst444 182 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Not quite. It's not a matter of whether I've "opened" a thread or not. I don't ever want to see a "topic" (thread?) on a list that was on the list the last time (or any previous time) I asked to see the list. Here's another attempt to explain it. The next time I visit the forum, I only want to see a list of new "topics" (threads?) that have been created since the last time I visited the forum or "topics" and replies (hence, threads) that I have marked as "following". I must not be explained it very well, What I am looking for is what I would think most people would want. That is, if I go through a list of "topics" (threads?) and don't mark them as "follow" I don't ever want to see them on my list again. If I wasn't interested in the original "new topic" posted by the original person, I won't be interested in seeing the replies. Link to comment
Analyst444 182 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I guess I should add that I'd like to be able to see "replies" to my "new topic" posts, too. - - - My "new topic" posts are always questions. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,306 Posted January 13, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted January 13, 2016 There is a since my last visit option. Link to comment
Analyst444 182 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 No, that's doesn't do it for me. - - - It lists any and all topics which have had a reply since the last time I visited, even if I didn't mark the topic as "follow". I guess I would ask everyone why do you look at a bunch of old topics you are not interested in every time you visit the forum? - - - As best as I can tell, that is what you get when you set the "Unread Content" stream.

Level 5* CalS 5,306 Posted January 13, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted January 13, 2016 Probably because there isn't a way not to? Though I don't know what happens if you check Only Content I Follow under Follow Status. Would that mean you wouldn't see any new content? Or not see new content after the first post? Link to comment
Analyst444 182 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I tried a couple more variations. I even modified the standard stream "Content I Follow". I still haven't been able to figure out how to get the stream I'd like to have. Also, I must not completely understand the streaming process. I modified a couple screams and got results that I wouldn't have expected. Thanks for spending some time on this for me. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,306 Posted January 13, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted January 13, 2016 You are welcome. It took me a while to "get it" with the new streams. I now only follow the forums of interest to me in reverse chronological order. But to your point, I am still seeing topics I would as soon not after the first time as replies occur. A don't show me any more of this topic check box would be nice. Link to comment
