I think the section that shows you what's happening with each user you follow should be categorized by user. For example:



^ See what I mean? Some users are more active than others, and therefore gain priority on a user who follows that person's homepage. (Now, if you're reading this, Prodigy, just know that I have nothing against you. Just an example! <3)

I propose that instead of there being multiple activity logs of each independent action from a user, there would be a “folder” so to speak, of each user, that would read something like:

ProdigyZeta7 shared *insert project*, and loved *insert project*!
click here to see all recent activity from this user.

Zparx loved *insert project*, and favorited *insert project*!
click here to see all recent activity from this user.

^ It would show the most recent two activities the user has engaged in, followed by a nice little link to all of that user's recent set of activities.

This leaves room for 5 other users in the “What's happening?” section!


Thoughts?

Hehehehe, I'm such a generous person.

Support. This would help a lot.

Actually, that's a decent idea!

(Instead of “click here to see all recent…”, how about the much more compact “(see recent activity)” as a link after the two items? Maybe in slightly smaller font? Or not…?)

EDIT: Was just thinking about this a bit more, and noticed it's fairly common for people to love & fave at the same time. In which case, that takes up both ‘slots’ of the brief activity report with a single project. Wondering if it could be refined in that case to lump those together - so, for example, it'd say “someuser loved & favorited thisproject, and shared thatproject (see all recent activity)”.

In terms of your edit, I was thinking maybe since loving and favoriting projects is more common, it would show the least common activities (sharing a project), or activities with more importance, first, even if they're not as recent as the love its and favorites. This suggestion is pretty much like a block of clay waiting to be sculpted into its final form by the ST. I hope they adopt it!

Edit: Also, I really like the “lumping” one project's love it and favorites together idea you suggested for the activity report! Oh, and yes! yesyesyes with your idea about the compact link!

See all recent activity

^ Something we can play around with as an example :D
(It's an actual link. Takes you to Google ;D)

I think this is a good idea. But perhaps it should just be cutoff after two from any given user?
Of course, this would make it very empty if you're only following one or two people.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by “cutoff after two”. Did you mean only show the two most recent activities on the account and not have the link to other recent activity?

I mean, instead of lumping them, show the most recent two.

Ahh that makes sense!
