[c=#004A59][big]• "Show Less" from a user[/big][/c]

If you would like to [b]stop seeing comments[/b] in you home feed [u][b]from particular users only,[/b][/u]
instead of [b]Muting or Blocking[/b] those users, you can now use the "Show Less" option.

[u]How to find this option:[/u] [b]Click on the Flag/Report/Mute icon[/b] which appears in the user's Comment in the home feed - (We'll likely add this option in profiles very soon as well.)




[c=#004A59][big]• Hide your Comments from appearing in Feeds[/big][/c]

If you [b]don't want your post comments/replies appearing[/b] to others in the [b]home feed[/b], you can use this new privacy feature to prevent that.

https://similarworlds.com/settings-account
» Privacy Settings
» Allow other members to see your Comments (Latest Replies) in their feed


Please note that Recent Comments did always appear in the home feed even before the recent changes (on desktop version of the site), although not as prominent as they are now.

We understand that some may feel uneasy about their comments appearing in the home-feed, so we have made this feature to resolve this concern some may have.

Having your comments appear in the home feed increases the amount of activity/replies/hearts your comments get, as they will be more often seen by those who may be relevant to you.

[c=#004A59][big]Other recent improvements to Similar Worlds:[/big][/c]

• Improved Navigation Dropmenus, which now auto-opens upon Hovering.

• Further Dropmenu improvement to support visually impaired users and those who have difficulty with auto-opening menus.

• Friends Only and Friends/Groups now also have the "Comments in Feed" option.

• Show "Edited" date on edited Comments.

• More relevancy of the users we show you in various parts of SW.

• Don't show Blocked users in the Search Friends results when sending a gift, further improving relevancy.

• Display Search box also in the Friends page (previously, it only appeared in the Circle page).

• Multiple Improvements to Scrolling and Navigation on SW.

Thanks for the great updates. I noticed when I go to privacy settings and take the mark off so others cannot see my comments in their home feed and save it, it converts right back to allowing them to see it. The check goes back on.

@JerseyGal Thanks very much for pointing that out.
You seem to be correct. It looks like a glitch we have.
We should resolve the issue within the day or a few hours.

@Andrew You're quite welcome.
Thanks to all of you for continuing to listen to feedback and update the site. It's greatly appreciated!

@JerseyGal @Andrew I'm having the same issue, plus I am seeing posts from some I have muted.
Nuno · Admin
@JerseyGal Hello. The privacy setting should now save properly. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.

@Magenta Does this happen while you use the "Everyone" feed? Could you please give me an example of a post that appears, next time this happens? Please feel free to send me a PM with the details. Thank you very much.

@Nuno Thank you for letting me know. Have a great Monday!

@Nuno
It was last night and I am trying to remember. I adjust it a lot but it may have been, or "all posts".

If it happens I will definitely send via pm. And thanks very much. :-)
