Missing Forum!

I saw a post from what appears to be the Plusnet Blogs forum, I’ve searched for said forum but can’t find it. Yes I know what you’re going to say and that’s my point, I don’t want to see this junk in my feed. If I want to read the blogs I’ll click the appropriate link.

Re: Missing Forum!

blog posts will appear in the unread feed on the homepage. The homepage unread feed is for the entire community and the blog falls under that.

Re: Missing Forum!

That's all well and good @jaread83, but I am seeing these using this link, and as you can see makes a distinct reference to the forums unread posts so being [-Censored-] I should not see these Blog post entries.

He means that the link you sent is the unread page for the entire community. Blog posts count as being part of the community and they are not a seperate system. Blog posts will show up in the unread feed if you have chosen to view the unread feed for the entire community.

Re: Missing Forum!

OK I see what you’re saying @jaread83, but I was working on the assumption that as the Blog Posts are in a distinct area and there is no forum with that title that they would not be included using a URL that only references forums.

So with that said is there anyway that I can exclude these from my feed, as my original point still stands.

Re: Missing Forum!

You can't hide the blog posts on a per user basis. I might be able to hide all of the blog posts from other feeds at a global level but I don't know how this would affect the blog itself or if the community team would want this to happen. I will do a bit of experimentation and see what happens - if it doesn't impact too much i will ask if i can implement it.

Re: Missing Forum!

@Anonymous, I can only hide blog posts from the 'recent' feeds but they will always show up in the unread feed (at the top community level).

Re: Missing Forum!

No worries, I gave it a shot. The 'unread' feeds are technically supposed to be a level deeper than they are but when I created the front page I want it to be more like a dashboard for everything on one page. I don't like the idea of having to click through to multiple pages before getting to something that could easily have been shown on the homepage.

Re: Missing Forum!

Hmmm!  A bit of a conundrum here?  I share @Anonymous dislike of the Community Blog posts appearing at Forum 'unread posts' link level, equally I can see why 'The mysterious powers that be'  would want to have it included.
