Hi Mark and EXProductManager. Still loving the new site; still figuring stuff out. I have a few more site navigation questions:

Messages & notifications:
- How do you filter notifications by both type (message, conversation, etc.) and by participant?
- In my notifications, sometimes it says "conversation with…" after the little envelope icon and sometimes not. How can I always have only the icon display?
- The quotev button in Jive works in a way that I'm not familiar with. How do I quote from another's content?
Editing content
- How long are you able to edit a blog, discussion, or comment?
View Options
How can I see all the recent activity of one of someone that I follow?
My Ex Feed
- Why doesn't a custom stream stay visible when I re-enter my Ex Feed?
- I created a custom stream based on a tag. Not every content with that tag is showing up in the stream I created. What should I do?
General site navigation questions
- Can I add a tag to content created by someone else?
- Can Admin add a "date posted" to items in the content thread?
- I had trouble creating a multilevel list here. Is there a way to paste multilevel list formatting from what I write elsewhere to here? Should I just attach a document?
- Is there a protocol at becomeanex for how to indicate that you've edited something after other people have already responded to the original content?

Thanks.

Correct Answer

Messages & notifications:
The quote button in Jive works in a way that I'm not familiar with. How do I quote from another's content?

Click the reply button on someone's post and then click the quote button and it will bring their comment into your reply/comment. For some reason quoting the root post isn't working at the moment. It seems to not work initially and then it started working. Currently it is being looked into.

Messages & notifications:
In my notifications, sometimes it says "conversation with…" after the little envelope icon and sometimes not. How can I always have only the icon display?

I think it says in conversation with when the conversation has no title. When it has a title the in conversation with disappears.

Not sure what you mean by only have the icon display.

Messages & notifications:
How do you filter notifications by both type (message, conversation, etc.) and by participant?

Doesn't seem to be this option. What is the reason you want to do this? You can search Private Messages.

Editing content
How long are you able to edit a blog, discussion, or comment?

Indefinitely.

My Ex Feed
Why doesn't a custom stream stay visible when I re-enter my Ex Feed?

I'll have to look into this.

My Ex Feed
I created a custom stream based on a tag. Not every content with that tag is showing up in the stream I created. What should I do?

What is the tag you're trying to follow? Tags are explicit. "The Red Dinosaur" would be different than "The_Red_Dinosaur" Please note that underscores in tags are preferred for best practices.

General site navigation questions
Can I add a tag to content created by someone else?

Social tagging is not turned on currently

General site navigation questions
Can Admin add a "date posted" to items in the content thread?

I'm not sure what you mean here. If you sort by Date Created it will show when it was created. Can you provide a link or a screenshot so I can answer definitively.

General site navigation questions
I had trouble creating a multilevel list here. Is there a way to paste multilevel list formatting from what I write elsewhere to here? Should I just attach a document?

Multi-level lists work for me.

Attachments could be missed. I wouldn't recommend it. Pasting from any word processing application. Especially Word is usually a disaster. It's best to do it within the community.

General site navigation questions

Well the date will update on the root post. I do typically add something like Update: to call out something drastic in a root post however if it is something like a spelling error or something minor then I probably wouldn't call anything out.

  That explains it. Quotes are really handy.

  Hmm. Sometimes I've had the option not work. Let me find an example and I'll get back to you. Thanks.
  EDIT: I figured it out, I think. You cannot edit a reply to a comment. At least, that's what I was trying to do last when it didn't work.

  I understand tags. I am talking about a tag that I created, that I copied from one post and pasted to another post, so the tags were identical.

  Sorting by date created gives the newest posts first, it doesn't say what the creation date was. You have to open each post to see the date. Can you filter to a specific date? If so, how.

    Certainly I would like something that indicated when something was last edited and by whom. Perhaps there will be in the future.

        Yes, Jive recommends you use underscores between words for tags(keywords) that are more than one word. I saw tagging wasn't consistent so I cleaned up some of the tags to improve searchability of some of the recent content. I have tagged the item in question. Try setting up your custom stream again and see if it works. I'll also do it.

        I've tagged the tag #the_ex_café to a stream. An @Mention of @the_ex_café is different than a tag. Now when new replies or new content is posted with that tag then I should see the custom stream pop up in my stream.
        
        There was a little maroon dot next to My Following Tab in the My EX Feed area. I saw there was today's Welcome to the EX Café Wednesday 02.08.2017 listed as there were recent comments. I clicked in to view them and then expanded it to view more replies. Then once I had viewed them and refreshed the page, the custom stream disappeared. Now I am waiting on more comments in the stream which should activate the stream to re-appear and show new activity.
        
        Hope this makes sense.

    in the messages, you have to filter them for jive. for some reason jive doesn't like to filter them for you and place them in categories (which I believe would be more efficient), to the left column. When you go into your red bell, filter by messages (PMs), mentioned is when someone tags you, shared is a link, notification is those goofy mission thingies, connection updates is people following you, which now that they have lifted the requirement on Private Messaging, I don't know why they require this any longer or even what it's used for.... any answers, Mark

      Having them all together in one view reduces the likelihood you'll miss one. I like that they are together but that it allows me to separate them out if I need to be more granular. Probably more efficient to some but less efficient to others.
      
      Not sure what you mean by "why they require this any longer". It's not a requirement, it's how it was built and simply how it works. There isn't anything that I can configure.

      My kingdom for a category! or topic!
      After I've filtered to find only messages, I want to filter by participant, and topic. If category (message, mentions, shares) displayed as a submenu, we would be halfway there.
      Thanks Lori.

        I think some things are hard to find because most people are not putting a subject on their Direct Messages conversations and are starting a new conversation every time they send a messages instead of continuing in an existing conversation so everything is threaded. I know conversations weren't threaded with elgg so perhaps this is just a habit carried over from a terrible system. The new Direct Messaging is a lot better now that things are threaded and you can actually see what you are responding to.
        
        I get a lot of notifications and I have been able to easily find everything I was looking for. Mostly I just look through the search in the upper right if I am looking for something. Having a multiple level sort is a nice to have where you can sort by Author and by Inbox notification type. I'll put in the request to Jive. I'll see how their other customers respond.

        You make an excellent point. A lot of notification and message "issues" may sort themselves out as we all get more familiar with the platform features. I appreciate you seeing about multi-level sort for us. Thanks again.

Moved to Community Help as it is more about the platform and not about quitting.

    Yes anything about how to use the community should be asked in Community Help. Asking questions about quitting should happen in Conversations.

https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/content?sortKey=all~creationDateDesc&sortOrder=0 Columns are Title, Author, Created, Views, Likes, Bookmarks, Comments.

  As mentioned on call Monday this link isn't available in navigation. It's an Easter egg of sorts. Most communities have so many communities and sub communities that this view would be overwhelming. Definitely a little different for our community since it is structurally much smaller.
  
  Megan and I are evaluating where we can have this link.

      Yes https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/content is sorted by recent activity newest to oldest and then you can sort by Newest to Oldest by date created. We have no control over the Default Sort option on Content pages.
      
      Here are some of the other content direct links:
      https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/
      https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/discussions/
      https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/docs/
      https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/videos/
      https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/thread/
      These are all links to take you to specific content types across the whole site. I'm not sure why the link doesn't work for Events or Polls. I'm looking into that.
