Live Feed "Last Visited" idea


When a person logs into Runboard they are taken to their "Live Feed." Unless the person knows how bookmarks work on Runboard they can get lost here since no links are intuitively visible to the new user.

Solution idea, in that huge blank spot on the right hand side of the "#profile_topinfobox" why not place a "Last Visited" set of links (maybe just the last couple or three) to help the new users out while they get their Runboard legs...

Re: Live Feed "Last Visited" idea


Ha. I remember the very first time I signed up. I finally opened up a new window/tab and went to the board I joined up for, and was happy to see my username on the 'online' section. LOL

The 'control panel / behind the scenes' page confused me for a bit. Mostly because it freaked me out, (it wasn't what I was expecting), and I had to 'calm' down. After that, it was a breeze to move about in there.

Re: Live Feed "Last Visited" idea


Hmmm... "Miscellaneous info" isn't very descriptive, and #profile_topinfobox_right is empty at the moment. Maybe that spot could have links that all lead to the "Miscellaneous info" section, but labeled:

My last visited boards (only shows if they have visited any boards)
My last public posts (only shows if they have public posts)
My public bio (includes registration date; always shows)
My boards (only shows up if they own a board)
My bookmarks (only shows if they have bookmarks)

I think this is worth some consideration. emoticon


@Jox,

If you don't mind, could you please send me a PM with any suggestions you may have for user control panels? Feel free to forget everything about the way they are right now, and just start from scratch.

Re: Live Feed "Last Visited" idea


hmmm ... it's not as bad now as it was then. There are more links and info and such. However, if someone is expecting to be redirected to a board, the page they get could disorient them somewhat.

If they were to be redirected to a board, the black bar at the top of the page is very helpful. Back in the day it might not have been as easy for them to find their way back to their control panel.

I'll have to think on it. If you don't get a PM in a few days, remind me. I tend to wander from one 'project' to another and forget what I was working on for several months, even years.

I've been working on a project I started working on at the beginning of this year. I set it down in March, and picked it back up in August, and laid it back down again, and am again working on it. I always write the date at the top of the page, and when I check the dates I'm always appalled at how much time went by. How could I forget I was working on it for so long? Yeah. I've got a bunch of them, everywhere.

I guess the good thing about that is maybe they'll all get finished at about the same time, and I can have multiple works getting published in close proximity. LOL

Re:


Joxcenia,

You sound like me! If you ever start looking around the places I go here at Runboard you will find dozens of projects that I am working on but some of those projects are well over a year old now! Other things come up, then new project ideas occur to me and it seems like forever before one of the projects gets done.

Whenever I log in from the navbar, it redirects me to the page I logged in from. Is that not the behavior you would expect?

I usually log in from the main page. But, I was going by memory of when I first signed up. I don't recall the page I signed up from, but it took me to my control panel after registering, and I got flummoxed. (My memory could be a tad wishy-washy though.)

You're more than welcome.

Well, then, I'm in very good company. It only matters that they get done at some point. And it is often said that everything happens as it should, so they'll get done in their own time. emoticon

If you can remember what it used to do 8 years ago, then your memory is better than mine. As long as it isn't confusing now, that's what matters. emoticon

Or, you can just say what my family always says: "I think you dreamed that."
