hey,

I think with small sites it would be a lot better to show the posts from all members to others, rather than just showing their friends.

That is the main problem I have heard back from people, unless they arent friends with people...the site is pretty much blank until they add people and them and the others are posting.

Can I make it so all posts are visible to members, just like on the index when someone isn't signed in?

just wanted to bump this as Im running a competition now and would really like to do it but not sure how.

Hopefully someone can help!

Thanks

anyone here able to help? I think this is really important for all sites, I think it should be an option.

When starting a site it looks so empty, who would want to come back with no updates if they dont have a lot of friends already on it?

Its like having a forum and only showing posts from users they added as friends...I know 99% of people that signup wouldnt even consider coming back

Really still trying to get this working...just not having any luck at all.

I thought it would be a simple copy / paste of code from the index to the dashboard..

in the feed of version 5 you have 2 feeds. my connections and public

Hes on free V4 mate

Yea I get what you mean John you want the news ticker on dashboard instead of just the friends feed right..

Yep thats right Al :)

I don't want to update to 5 because I have done a lot of changes and didn't make a note of them (Used to vBulletin updates now without having to change the code ;) )

I'm not sure why the same code from the index (logged out) isn't working on the dashboard, maybe on the index another file is being included to run it?

I thought I changed this but someone said to me that they still only see my posts (I have it set so I am added as a friend, so all my posts are shown)

Does anyone know if this was posted on here for how to do it? Ive been looking and searched google but cant see it anywhere
