Just interested... what's the update time on the list of popular discussions that comes up on the Dasboard when you don't have any recent activity to be informed of?

I'm wondering because I was looking down the list and saw a topic I'd posted in shortly before, but it was listing someone else as the most recent message   (Now 19 minutes after my message according to the little timestamp doodad)

While I'm asking about this, is there any way to set the Dashboard to always show the list of popular discussions? I always tend to have "recent activity" in groups/topics that I posted in ages ago and have since lost interest in...

Hey SK, I'll have to look up the specifics of the Popular topics list - but it is updated frequently if I remember correctly.

Setting the Dashboard - short answer would be no.

You'd have to go into those forums you've lost interest in and Mark All as Read or Mark as Read from the My Forums page to clear all unreads first.

Ah well, that's what I was doing 

Thanks anyway 

No worries
