'Recent Member Connect Activity'

Can't find a way to turn it off yet, but I think it might still be in the process of upgrading.

If you click on 'Show more activity' it gives a list of boxes you can uncheck - but it seems to reset them all to checked as soon as you go back into the Home page.  Hopefully it's just a glitch

I amended my posting to 'Sorted' .

You just go in to Customise and turn it off with the arrow.

Incidentally, does anyone know how to get rid of that awful 'Recent Member Connect Activity' on the home page. It suddenly appeared in the last few days and I like it not  :(

Just click 'maximise image' to get the old view.

I managed to get back to the old view - now I can't get the new one!  I don't seem to have a 'maximise image' option.  What am I doing wrong??

Sorry Gadget - missed that.  I've turned mine off now.

But my question about the new layout still holds   :D

I think they've turned off the New Look . It's now back to the old look. Maybe they were experimenting or doing a test run and took it back down.

I missed it.

Is there any advantage in using the new search versus old search on census, I just played around switching between the 2 for a couple mins.

The new search seems to be inferior to the old

I use the old search

The new look seems to be still there

Linda - On the far right hand side of the "old search" are the words New Search, just click on them.  To get back to Old Search click on the words Old Search on the far right hand side.

I go between the two, sometimes what comes up on the new doesn't come up on the old and vice versa.
