I’m sure Newbies would appreciate it.

If so, is there a workaround (patch or plugin) that would accomplish this?

Cheers!

What I’m looking for is a way to truncate Activity Wall posts with an excerpt and a read more link. Not a forum post shown on the Activity page…

Should a ticket be issued for this? IMO, this should be core…

Then again, if a plugin could be created, end of problem.

I don’t know if it’s BP compatible though, keep us posted.

That lessened the indentation between nested replies but there’s still a +/- 10px indent after each one of them.

At least, it looks a lot better now. 😀

Thanks

What I would like to accomplish is to change “What’s new ?” with “What’s on your mind?” (or something similar) in the activity post editor.

Thanks,
Gene

If someone knows how to turn it off or a snippet of code to limit nested comments, please feel free to share.

Would anyone know of a snippet of code which could be inserted in my custom.php file which would accomplish this?

@brajesh Thanks for coming up with a solution.
