Recently active should take into account that I was the most recent poster

Howdy,

First off: incredible job you folks have done on GS!

I just noticed that I keep clicking the top-most recently active item only to find that I was the one that made it recently active. It sure would be nice if the list noticed that and weighted it down a little.

Inappropriate?

I think the recently updated list as well as the list of latest activity on the Dashboard should just list who last updated the topic (e.g., "Last reply 2 minutes ago by Nick"). The same goes for the list of topics on the company's page.

I don't know about reordering them. Maybe I could have the option to completely hide my own activity from the list, but I don't see why I would want my activity to be visible but in the wrong place chronologically.

Great feedback!

We're completely revamping the dashboard and will be working to make the products and company feeds more consistent and generally useful.

Keep it coming!

I’m thankful

I've still got this problem. I know, it's much better, the way it is, and there is a large icon next to the name of the poster. But still: When scrolling down the side I've got problems grasping at first glance where the paragraph begins and whether this paragraph started with a "You".

Couldn't you maybe give a background colour to "You" and another colour to every other username on my dashboard feed? - I know, ... they already are links, so they are blue but still, when scrolling, there are other links and blue isn't that far from black.

I’m not as happy about the site as I were when there were a background colour.

I suppose we could color-code these. I think the general impulse is to keep it as lightweight and clean as possible, but this could be a good way to help people visually scan their dashboard. Thanks for the tip!
