Thank you, Andrew!

this is super exciting! i’m about to make great use of the timelines feature!

(also, quick question, when you block a user are they notified of it? I don’t have anyone to block I’m just curious how it’ll work)

@Cocoa-Nut They're not notified of it, and your block button then turns into an unblock button in case you want to reverse it. When they're blocked, any shares from them in the stream will be completely hidden, and any comments by them on the forums will also be hidden with an almost-imperceptible "1 hidden message" line that's there if you're like, "wait, who are these people responding to?" but hard to see unless you're looking for it.

It should also prevent them from commenting on your page shares, but I'm not 100% sure that got finished by the time the release went live, so I'll make sure it goes into tonight's follow-up "fix-all-the-bugs-everyone-reports" release if it's not already there. :)

One thing I noticed is that blocked user's messages still show up in PMs (old ones, I'm unsure of how a current one would appear). It would be nice if they were blocked there too, but I get if that's not possible.

I can’t find the feedback page for the timeline, is there anywhere else we can find it?

@StevenUniversefangirl Once you've dismissed the message at the top of the editor page, you can also find it as the last link at the bottom of the Help Center (under My Account in the sidebar), but it's also here if you want a direct link. :)

Thank you

Oh this is great! <3 I've only taken a quick look around but so far all the updates look fantastic, and I love the dark theme!

You know what would be really cool? A "like" or "thumbs-up" button. For when you don't have anything to say about someone's character on the stream but you want them to know you like it

^^^ Yes!

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANDREW!!!

I can't access the "Around the World" portion of the stream; it just gives an error 500

@Icefire Looks like there was a bug there. Pushing up a fix right now that'll get it working again. :)

:) thanks Andrew!

Hey Andrew, if you block someone will they still be able to follow you?

@PatienceKills Ah, currently yes, but they won't see any of your content in streams/threads anyway. I'll prevent following altogether in tomorrow's release though.

A classic move. Well played.

Hey @andrew, just curious, do the timelines have a view option like all other pages and documents? If so, I’m not finding it. Also I’m assuming they save on their own since there’s no save button.

One thing that I would really like to see (not to sound ungrateful hopefully) are more sharing options than public and private. Like, only people I follow can see this, this is a Share Url, stuff like that.

I agree! I have lots of things that I'd love to show some closer friends, but don't want displayed for every user.
