How to customize your "New Posts" stream

[dunefreak]

Some people are still not aware of this feature so I wanted to put it out there in it's own thread so everyone knows how to customize their news feed.  

 

1. Click new posts. 

 

2. Make necessary adjustments to the options bar (ie: Content Types, Read Status, etc) how want your new posts to be displayed. There are plenty of options. Make sure you read them all and understand what they mean. Then SAVE as New Stream. 

 

3. Then when the page refreshes with your new posts listed, click the little check mark icon next to the title ("New Posts") and make it your default stream.

 

 

Now the New Posts link/ button will display the new posts and site content that you prefer to see when you click it. 

Note: this will only change the New Posts link underneath the menu bar. That will be your custom news feed. The NEW POSTS tab may be going away eventually since it is not customizable. 

 

The little newspaper/ "new post" icon on the mobile site will now also show this custom feed. At any time you want to edit or delete it, just click the edit or delete icon next to the title of the stream. 

 

If there are any questions, complaints, or suggestions I'd love to hear them.
