Don't remove it. It is pretty much the only thing I use to follow what's going on. However I would like it to be improved.

For example, have it load with the page instead of having the page load first and then "Latest Forum Activity" box loads and pushes the rest of the page down. This is annoying when you want to click on a topic and it moves down 300-odd pixels. And also I find sometimes it doesn't refresh at all like it just stops loading even though the user interface is convinced that it is still refreshing its content..

The bar is awesome don't get rid of it! improve it.

I love the recent activity! I think it could be greatly improved, but I'd hate to see it removed. The new side bar in IPB is a PITA.

Suggestions for the recent activity:

- Allow users to select what forums show up in the activity

- Create a NeoSpy page (rip off of DiggSpy - the old version, not the new BigSpy)

I'd like it if it loaded the first set of data before the page loaded, and not via JS - I can't count the number of times I've gone to click a "Delete Thread" button and it's jumped down when the LFA loaded and I've clicked on another topic or something :p.

I don't like how the title goes to the first post of the thread. It's also quite stupid that reading the first post marks the entire thread as read - but that's a limitation of IPB :p

Beyond that, the Latest Forum Activity is alright, sometimes I find good threads there.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
