DeltaOne Posted August 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I use an Activity to follow threads, then "go to first unread post". I've been following one thread that has disappeared from my Activity stream. I've removed and re-entered it, I've logged out, deleted cookies and logged back in. Nothing seems to work. The thread does show up in Manage My Followed Content. I'm using a Mac and Safari. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a custom stream for following particular threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is what you are seeing but one thing I have noticed is that if the moderators have deleted some posts or combined threads that the thread might disappear from my Content I Posted in activity stream until someone makes a new post.

But recently it's been dropping a thread or two. The first thread to drop seemed to be fixed by logging out and back in. And a recently added thread showed up at first but was gone the next day.

I don't use Content I Posted. And the two missing threads are still there...I looked them up manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I have seen from time to time happens when posts have been deleted from a thread or the moderators combine threads and add posts from another thread.

Gotcha. One of the two is showing up now. I'll watch for the missing one to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you follow the threads, new postings will also appear in your notification list. Not ideal, but at least you won't miss posts if you check notifications.

I'll check again....or maybe you'll send info. I did get the missing thread back by increasing the Time Period setting. I changed it from four to 26 weeks. But that shouldn't have made a difference because both of the "missing" threads I've been talking about had new content in just the last day or two.

It's been some time since I looked at this. My recollection is that there were two time periods, when the thread was created and when the last entry was made. Either my memory is faulty or things have changed - even odds on which. 🙂 Could it be that Time Period is refering to thread creation date?

In reading the filter text "I am following and posted in for the last 182 days." suggests that the user must have a post within the Time Period.

Seems like that shouldn't matter, I just want the stream to show me new activity since my last log on...and 99.9% of the time it does that. But once in a while...something messes up.

DeltaOne Posted August 16, 2023 Author #14 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Just to wrap this up, my custom activity stream now seems to be working fine. Only thing I changed was the time period. I'll try Chrome (instead of Safari) later to see if the Show Filters option appears. Also took the opportunity to change my Cruise Critic user name from Paul from Maryland to DeltaOne.

The Show Filters link is just a contraction of the display fragment you posted. It only appears on devices that the CC software considers to narrow for the full display.
