We have created some tutorial How-To Videos that will help you navigate and explore the new features. You will see many familiar things, but some may be in different places. There are also some new shiny features that you will discover. Explore and see what you can find. If you have questions post them below so everyone can benefit from the answers.

You will see the VIDEOS tab in the top toolbar. Clicking on that tab will take you to all the allnurses videos. Once there, click CATEGORY and How To. I suggest you start with Navigating the Home Page - Meet the New allnurses.com.

Ditto...I've watched the video and it ends with the creation of a new activity stream but doesn't reference how to access it. After I name and save my new activity stream my "What's New" simply defaults to everything afterwards...yes Rose, it's probably right in front of me!!

By any chance are you missing the "make this the default stream" checkbox? I ask because I was doing the same thing until I realized a final step was required to actually see the stream I wanted.

I can't seem to find that checkbox...where is it on the screen? Thank You

In the "what's new" section after you create or choose a stream there is a little box directly to the right of the stream title and just to the left of the gear icon next to the stream title. Check that box to make it your default stream. After it's checked you can also uncheck it if you want to change the default view to a different stream.

Hope that made sense as the silly little check box isn't super noticeable in my opinion.

Gotta be some kind of glitch. Nothing like that. The gear icon isn't present during that time and after I click What's New and Streams...nothing drops down. I'll go to plan B...whatever that is. Thank You!

Yep Old Dude, if you don't even get a drop down menu with all the stream options there's definitely an issue. Kind of hard to choose a default stream when you can't choose any at all!

Make sure you are logged in to see the Streams option.

Now, select a stream that you are interested in...

When the page loads click the CHECKMARK icon to save the stream as your default...

Once the option is checked refresh the page or go to another page ... Now, click What's New ... your selection is now your default stream.

That's it.

Thanks Joe! That explanation with pictures was much easier to follow than the fumbling I was doing trying to explain it!

Hi joe I am still not able to view the desktop version on my iPhone 8 on neither chrome nor safari. When I click on the desktop version The page reloads but it is still the mobile version (the version does not change at all). I’m super frustrated... also keep seeing all old Posts on the home page.

Can you take a screenshot of your problem? It's not clear what you are trying to say/ask.

About the main page...

Yep, I agree. This will change now that things are getting back to normal.

OK, got that part...thank you! Now how do I limit it to just the forums I frequent like the "favorites" option before?

[tnbutterfly - Mary, BSN]

Before you save the stream, you are given options under FOLLOWING -

• Content posted in areas I follow
• Content items I follow
• Content posted by members I follow
• Everything (default option)
