If you'd like to curate the content you see on the community, one really good way to do it is to follow other members. This allows you to be notified (if you'd like) when they make a new post, but it also allows you to have a curated feed of just the members you follow within the activity stream. 

Many of you are probably asking what on earth an activity stream is right now, because it's not especially widely used - please keep reading to find out more..

Firstly, how to follow members. It's a pretty simple task - just go onto the profile of the member you'd like to follow and click the follow button:

Once you have a few members you're following, you can view all of their recent posts from one place on the activity stream. One of the custom options available on there is 'members I follow'

Once there, you'll see a screen like this (desktop and mobile views shown):

It's customisable with the filters at the top, so you can limit the time span, only show content you haven't read, and so on - you can then save those options as a custom stream to use whenever you like.

There are numerous other pre-built activity streams for you to try and edit as well - it can be a great way of discovering and following the content that interests you.

Hopefully this is useful, please feel free to ask any questions you have below.

is there no way we can have 'what's on your mind back?' Really helps when you post new threads so people are aware and stuff.

That whole system is being removed from the software this year, so there's very little mileage in bringing them back I'm afraid.

The updated version has a lot of new features which I think we'll be able to take advantage of, so although there won't be a direct replacement for the statuses, there's plenty to look forward to with it I think.
