Separation of topics created by oneself and others in the personal dashboard
Hi there,
I do have a problem with the real information overload created by creating, answering and subsequently subscribing to all these topics, both to those self-created and to those from others. I did propose several measures against the mess already, but that's not enough.
You must have the possibility to separate the news in your dashboard at the most important and common position (from my point of view):
a) News in topics, that I created. (and maybe answered / commented too)
b) News in topics, that others created and I subscribed to. (and maybe answered / commented too)
So in this case, it isn't about answering, commenting or "voting" as the divider, it is about the question, who created the content in the first place.
Why is this so important?
I think I will remember the topics I subscribed to exactly and I know the ones created of course too. And will interact on these topics anyway, so it is often not about to find a single comment or comments at all (because I'd maybe reaally like (to only use) comments, they're so cute! ;-P), it is always centered around a certain topic.
The other point is, that even if I would be able to drill down the topics to some with a "My topics" search (which you'll soon be implementing, I'm sure. ;-)), it wouldn't help, if let's say I maybe forgot the important keywords or just think about the wrong ones.
(I assume that the topic wasn't created that long ago.)
The normal way, this one topic would get lost e.g. in the huge list of new activity on other topics created by me (if the topic I search is not created by me...). The new way, I could find the recent topic very quickly, as it'll show up immediately as the (almost) first item! This is of course correct also the other way 'round (maybe I'm not creating many topics, but mostly following and commenting.).
The more people who like this idea, the more it gets noticed.
The company is considering this idea.

Inappropriate?Well said. I think we agree with your prognosis that the dashboard needs a new model that makes it easy to quickly and easily get value out of your involvement across all the topics and products. Thanks for the very specific ideas!
I’m thankful

Hi Thor, because I'll heed the advice of starting a topic for every single idea separately, I'll be more specific and go more into the details of an idea, yes.
