Northside Baseball Tips & Tricks: The Stream!

Forgive the images, they're from Twins Daily but how the stream operates is identical.

The new feed is pretty awesome and I suspect after reading this, some of you (particularly forum users) may set a custom feed as your North Side Baseball landing page. It's that useful. Instead of having to click through the (kinda insanely large now) NSBB site, you can tailor a feed to show basically whatever you want: select authors, topics you've followed, fellow users, unread content only... the list goes on.

First, to find your personal feed, near the top right of the screen you will see a newspaper icon in the red bar below your user information.

That brings you to the default view, which is Unread Content.

Here you'll see a variety of options to tailor your custom stream to do almost anything you like on the site. I'll spare you going through each item in detail individually, as it's all quite self-explanatory. You can choose tagged content, type of content (news, forums, blogs, status updates, etc.), read/unread only, content you've participated in or started, followed content, and finally, how it's sorted.

Depending what kind of device you're using, you can also choose Condensed or Expanded. Condensed just gives you the title and link while Expanded offers a truncated version of the content as a preview.

Once you've decided on your changes, you can save this stream using the save prompt below. You're allowed to have multiple custom streams so name this new stream and it joins the others.

Once you're done customizing your stream, Click Stream Options at the top right of the selection drop-down, and your choices become your default custom stream. Every time you click that newspaper or visit your stream, the selections you've made will remain in place.

That's it, enjoy the new site!

Quick note for long-timers: On the old software, clicking the icon to the left of the category brought you into the category. Now it sets that whole forum as being read. 

That'll take some getting used to!

By the way, the stream should work quite a bit better whenever I can get this damned icon issue sorted. Everything makes a lot more sense when the page isn't covered by empty boxes.

Anyone figured out how to duplicate the old Active Topics? Don't really want to see the most recent individual posts in reverse chronological order.

Also asking to see if I got the numbers issue at the end, which I assume I do. No rush on updating/fixing this, as my user name is dumb anyways.
