solved jamroom.net profile has lost forum hompage

Going to jamroom.net/ultrajam/ no longer arrives at the forum. I have an activity feed instead.

I'm redirected to your forum when I go to your page:

https://www.jamroom.net/ultrajam

Im redirected too.

Me too!

But I verified it several times earlier. Could well be my isp.

Ok, narrowing it down, it's when I'm logged in and I click the Ultrajam link at the top of the user menu that I arrive at my timeline instead of the forum. It does that from any page on my profile.

If I click that same link from a create or update form I arrive at the ultrajam forum.
If I click from another profile ( https://www.jamroom.net/backstage or /the-jamroom-network/forum) I arrive at the forum.
And entering the url into the browser also leads to the forum.

But clicking a https://www.jamroom.net/ultrajam link when I am already on my profile leads to a view of the timeline.

Do you have the forum set as your Account Settings > Customize > Profile Index?

Actually if your profile name on your profile page didn't link to the activity stream, there would be no link to get to your activity stream.

Yep - this is the correct behavior. An "outside" link into your profile will always arrive on your profile, but once on your profile clicking on your profile name will take you to the timeline (or as Douglas has pointed out you'd have no way to get there).

Ah I see. Thanks Douglas and Brian.

I wouldn't actually mind having no way to get there. I never read it and don't post to it - it's just an extra page that I have to load and click through to get to any content.

As long as you don't click on your profile name when already viewing your profile, you should never see it.

However, your followers may want to view your timeline to see what you've been up to

Maybe people use it, not sure. To me it's the equivalent of a stats graph in the dashboard - something you might need to look at once in a while, not something which should appear as an interstitial.

I'm not convinced that you can actually see what someone's been up to by looking at their timeline. If I look at my timeline not logged in, it doesn't seem to reflect what I've done lately on jamroom.net or show anything of value (there's an obvious reply to that). It's just a list of repeating pics of me with an uninformative bit of text by the side - given the choice, the last thing that I'd want to display to someone when they click on my brand name.

It's also a bit confusing having two different profile index pages - sometimes you arrive at one and sometimes at the other. Both have the same url clicked but clearly different content. That still feels like broken to me, even now knowing that it is intended behaviour.

I can certainly see questioning the content - that's fine, and it may be of no use to you, and useful to someone else who might like to see you've updated some of your marketplace items (for example).

However, the profile tweaks module does a redirect on access to your forum, so you'll never end up with your forum showing on the same URL as your timeline.

So I'm not sure what to propose here - I don't think there is an issue, but I can understand if it's not the exact setup you would want.

There isn't an issue, and it is easy enough to change on a jr5 installation by editing the skin. It was just a personal opinion on the jamroom.net site.
