FYI Google+ community posts are now sorted by relevance rather than recency by default
You can toggle it back to chronological order.

Thanks for posting this Peggy K
ReplyDeleteIt has been very frustrating lately.
Thanks for the heads up Peggy K
ReplyDeleteVery nice Peggy K. Most useful. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteThis will be bad for User2User and most communities is my guess. It's not good if a post is missed. It will kill the Help community if a popular post is always sitting on top. I don't understand this.
ReplyDeleteCraig Long I fully agree.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion is that each individual will be better served if they select the chronological view - that is what I have chosen.
However, when all is said and done, in the end it is the user's choice.
I certainly won't be posting much anymore in new communities. To view popular posts you don't have to join a community. You can see popular posts by just viewing the community. So there will be less members joining communities.
ReplyDeleteCraig Long I think it makes some sense for large more general interest or sharing communities. So if you go to a "beautiful nature photos" community, you should see the "most relevant" images (however that's decided). But it's bad for help communities for sure.
ReplyDeletePeggy K Yeah but if I post things and they don't show up then I might leave the community. It might be great for hiding unpopular spam posts that get through the filters though.
ReplyDeleteCraig Long yes to both of those. Everyone: send feedback to Google+ directly letting them know what you think!!!
ReplyDeletePeggy K Most certainly :)
ReplyDeletePeggy K Yes I will.
