The new forum seems to have converted across well, but I immediately missed the "Latest posts" box that used to appear at the top right of the forum homepage. Luckily it is possible to regenerate a view that is equivalent, and it's a lot more customisable too. There are two ways to create a view that should suffice - the first is to add the "Stream" I have created, and the second is to create your own from scratch (slightly more involved, but it will give you a bit more knowledge to customise the view to your liking): Option 1 - Reusing a pre-created "Latest posts" Stream Click here to view the "Latest posts" stream I have created Add the stream by clicking , the "Add stream" To visit this page from any other in the forum click on which sits at the top right and bottom right of every forum page Bookmark the resulting page in your browser so you go straight to it when you want to visit the Modelflying Forum Option 2 - Creating and customising your own stream Go to the Forums homepage, then click on and select "Create New Stream" You'll be presented with a page like this: Add a Stream title, then select the options you want - for a view most like the old Latest Posts...: Show me - Check "Content Items only" Content types - Check "Topics" only (you may also want to add Blog entries and Status updates too, up to you) Read status - "Everything" Ownership - "Everything" Following - "Everything" Time period - "Since my last visit" or "Any time" Default View - "Condensed" Select "Save changes" The page will refresh and you will see your new Stream. Select "Stream options" and if it isn't already the default select "Set as your default stream": Bookmark the resulting page in your browser so you go straight to it when you want to visit the Modelflying Forum Important point - If you want to see the same view on different devices you don't need to follow all the steps above on that device as well; just navigate to your newly created stream on and bookmark the page in your browser Hope that is useful! ?
