GolfSpy MPR Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I wanted to post a brief tutorial on a Forum feature that I find essential: custom streams. If you just open "forum.mygolfspy.com," it takes you to the Forum home page, which defaults to showing the organizational categories of the Forum. But if you're a regular member, you don't want to see the structure: you want a stream of the most updated content. So start by clicking the "Recent Posts" button in the upper right of the screen: At the top of the Recent Posts page, you'll find this tool bar, which is where the magic happens: Here, you can customize how you want the content posted in the Forum to show up for you. My stream, for instance, is set to group everything by threads, organized by those with the most recent post. I show all the threads, whether I've read them or not (unread threads remained bolded). A big tip: I just checked the "tests_tests_pl" (not the most elegant name, and I'll look into changing that) to my "Content Types" options, and that now includes all the posts made to the new 2021 Official Testing threads to my feed! If you want to check out my feed, you can do so at this link: https://forum.mygolfspy.com/discover/26/ I think it's really cool that, if you create a custom stream and save it, it creates a static link that you can reuse and share. cnosil, cksurfdude, MattF and 3 others 6 Quote TS3 9.5°, Tensei Blue CBX T3 15°, Project X HZRDUS Black Epic Super Hybrid 18°, Aerotech Steel Fiber FC HYB S C722 21°, Ventus Blue 8S CBX Iron-Wood 25°, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0 639 CB, Aldila NV 95 Graphite, 6–PW CBX 48° T22 54° and 60° EAS 4.0, Garsen G-Pro grip TP5x and Tour Response Full WITB with pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great addition; this is what I have been looking for. It even takes you to the most recent posts!!!! The only issue/bug is that after I read the post it doesn’t mark it as read until I utilize the mark site read functionality. cksurfdude and GolfSpy MPR 2 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, after I opened the Edel thread I just posted in, when I re-opened my "recent posts" feed, it was marked read. If you just hit "back" in your browser, it often won't show it as read. cksurfdude 1 Quote TS3 9.5°, Tensei Blue CBX T3 15°, Project X HZRDUS Black Epic Super Hybrid 18°, Aerotech Steel Fiber FC HYB S C722 21°, Ventus Blue 8S CBX Iron-Wood 25°, Project X HZRDUS Black 6.0 639 CB, Aldila NV 95 Graphite, 6–PW CBX 48° T22 54° and 60° EAS 4.0, Garsen G-Pro grip TP5x and Tour Response Full WITB with pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal thread disappear after I read them, both when I hit the back button, and when I reload my “unread posts”. The test threads stay in the unread state for me.

Peaksy68 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 @GolfSpy MPR, you might want to edit the title.

GolfSpy_APH Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Not only does this deserve a bump as it was super helpful, but also a quick heads up for those that we are working on placement for the testing opportunities section. We hope you understand we are taking feedback from the membership and trying to both integrate the new system and make it as fluid as possible for all. That being said we have moved the section out from under reviews to its own tab which will send you directly to all the testing opportunities. Hopefully this helps and we will continue to try and update you with any other changes that may come up. cnosil, tommc23, cksurfdude and 2 others 5 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!
