with the format. Every damn time they do it there are problems! Did anyone else's activity page disappear?

"All Activity" and "Works Activity" come up empty. "My Activity" works. Even under the best of conditions those pages have been loading slowly.
 
In 'My Home' in the new control panel, 'All Activity' is empty ('Uh-oh, nothing here yet.'), but the 'My Activity' and 'Works Activity' seem to be complete. And yes, under 'Works', the categories are back.
 
F5/Shift-Refresh didn't work to restore mine.

Word from tech support is that the new loading screen is a diagnosis tool, which is gathering information from the multitude of platforms/browsers and recording errors, in order to diagnose problems, fix them, and make sure everything works across the widest range possible.
 
Yes, I saw that fix too. Mine's all good, better than it was, faster too. More useful than the old page ever was, I reckon.

The categories are back. They weren't gone very long.

I haven't been able to sort stories by comments or favorites for a couple days now. The "All Activity" and "Works Activity" pages load empty, and they take a long time to do it.

EDIT: I've now tried it with: Firefox on two different Ubuntu (GNU/Linux) installations on two different networks, Google Chrome on Android over a cellular network, and Google Chrome and Firefox on Android over a cable network.

Same result each time. Extremely slow loading, and the "All Activities" page comes up empty.

I just tried the f/5...Nothing!

Then I tried (space) f/5...still nothing. It seems like every couple of months I have problems resulting form some new BS.

Change is a necessary thing, and I think they're doing what they can to get all the changes working. Try to be patient.

It's really platform dependent then - mine opens in "All Activities" which shows what my faved writers are doing. To see activity on my own content, Works Activity shows that - it's all okay. My Activity then shows where I've commented on or faved a story or writer. All the data sorts work correctly, and quickly.

This is all on a Kindle using Amazon's Silk as a browser. I've definitely got better and more useful functionality than before, with nothing lost or glitchy.
 
Checked on my tablets with Chrome, and it's the same as desktop. No "All" but "Works" is functioning, though that doesn't show people who have followed me. It also won't "Load More" if you click the button at the bottom.

Came in on desktop through Firefox, and "All" loads, but only shows people who have followed me, where it used to show favorites, comments, etc. That's only visible on the "Works" tab. The "Works" tab will "Load More" but the "All" tab will not.

The missing category bug on mobile has been fixed. I never noticed the comment moderation button missing, but if it was, that's back as well.
 
Re: activity feed

I don't post very often, but I came on the boards to see if anyone else was experiencing this. I noticed it since early this morning (over twelve hours ago). It's now 10:06 p.m. my time (US EST), and the issue isn't fixed for me, not at all. I have the activity feed set to auto-refresh every so often, and I also tried switching browsers, restarting, F5, nothing. No dice. I tried Tweeting to Lit about it, but no answer (yet). Stuff like that has happened before, and I guess it's not THE biggest deal in the world...just disconcerting. Ah well. Just wanted to see if it was happening with anyone else. Cheers, folks. —SS
 
It's been several days for me.

Someone said be patient; I think I've been very patient. I have never seen a site that screws around so much.

Mine has gone much slower since the whirling circle box appeared. Preference must be being given to the Southern Hemisphere. lol.

Of course. Why on earth did you expect any other set of priorities? God's chosen country, mate; and obviously, Laurel's too ;).

Not for this southern hemispherian, unfortunately, My Home and each of the activities pages are gone but I guess they'll be back eventually :) It's been less than 24 hours for me so no biggie. Having said that it was a biggie until I found out for sure that it wasn't just me, :p
 
Everything is working for me (although often slowly) except the "All Activity List" which yields the annoying "Uh oh, nothing here yet."

I wonder if that's the only platform things are working on. Is anyone else not having the problems?
