Dashboard: Activity Feed Filters

Dashboard gripe: in the activity feed it doesn’t always remember your filter settings. For example, if you set it to “global feed, reviews only” the list correctly adjusts to only show the “X wrote a review for Y” items. But if you click through to read the review and then use the browser back button to return to the list, sometimes it remembers that you’re only looking at “review” items, but sometimes it resets to the default “show everything” view.

The books/videos filters for the dashboard activity feed will reset any time you visit the activity feed on someone’s user profile. I always just have my dashboard activity feed set to books, but if I look at my own profile’s activity feed or other user, that feed’s filter is set to everything by default, and then that feed’s filter setting overwrites the dashboard filter, so the dashboard activity feed also shows everything (or whatever filter I selected last on the user’s activity feed).

@pm215 @gillianfaith My current plan is to safely remember the activity feed filter settings, and to apply them everywhere they can be used (my dashboard, somebody else’s dashboard, the media page, maybe somewhere else?)

Would that work for you to just have one set of filters, and whenever you change them somewhere, they will change in all other places as well? (Or do we need more than one set of filters?)

That works for me, since I usually only look at one type of activity anyway. Having the same settings persist across all activity feeds keeps things predictable.
