"Last updated" section on Manage Circle page

Title:
"Last updated" section on Manage Circle page

Area:
site interface

Summary:
Add a column to the "Manage Circle" page telling you when a journal/community/feed last updated.

Description:
If someone's activity (or lack of) is a criteria you look at when culling accounts in your circle, it would be useful to see at a glance when the account was last updated. Currently, you have to open the account's profile page and look at each one individually. It would be far easier if there was a column in the table displaying this information.

This data already exists for the profile page; it should be just a matter of replicating it on the Manage Circle page as well.

I can see the use for this, but where would that fit on the Manage Circle page? There are already six columns with all the mutual relationship stuff, and I don't think another one would fit easily. Though I guess a last updated date could maybe fit below the name in the first column... but for me a lot would depend on how this is fit on the page and whether I find it even harder to follow.

Yes. Maybe a new page or section listing users by last-updated date would cover what katieastrophe wants without cluttering up an already busy page?

[katieastrophe]

As long as that page also gave a quick and easy way to unsubscribe, etc. from accounts which appear to be inactive, instead of making them still go through the usual route, that could work, though I like the above comment of perhapstrying it beneath the name.

There would absolutely have to be a less obtrusive way of displaying when the account last updated--the People list is wide enough already without adding an extra column.

[queenbarwench]

The Circle list is currently a flat alphabetical list. Maybe the ability to sort the list by "date last updated" would be one way to implement this...?

[katieastrophe]

That could work for me.

(I honestly don't care how it's implemented - I just want some way to easily see who last updated and remove them from my subscription list if they appear to be inactive. I don't care whether it's on Manage Circle or another page entirely -- it's the feature I'm after, not this feature on this page.)

This sounds like a workable suggestion to me.

Is last date updated relative to your security access? For example, if a user is only posting private entries, that's the same to you as if they weren't posting at all. Does last date updated show the last time they posted a private entry, or does it show the last time they posted an entry you could see?
