Solved Move new introductions threads from latest activity to own sidebar widget?

[adam]

What do you think? Just excluding them from the homepage latest activity section. Would still appear in what’s new etc.

I would like to (re)move them from the "Latest Activity" top widget. they suppress the "real" threads with discussions in it.

I agree! It should be anywhere else but the Latest activity section.
But sidebar plugin sounds good 👍 👍

 

[adam]

Cool, I agree, 13-0 is fairly conclusive. 😅 Will get that sorted.

Done! Let me know what you think. Should give more visibility to more variety of threads while keeping our cherished new members welcomed. 😄

Perfect! Exactly what I wanted.^^

Agreed.

@Adam have you moved them back in? Or do they appear if someone answers an introduction thread?

 

[adam]

Very temporarily, I am working on making this an option that you can turn off and on in preferences at the moment!

That's a good decision. I often come to WW only to see its front page polluted with these threads. Tbh I never really understood these sections on forums. They're pretty pointless and 99% of the time they're empty threads. A simple bio on the user's profile should suffice.

It's some kind of onboarding process. The larger the forum gets the pointlesser they get. In a really active forum no one will read who has joined today.
