Questions

I used to see when my connections made new connections in my home page stream. Where has this gone and how do I switch it back on?

ANS = I don't know where they have gone, I am still seeing them from my connections (not all as this is related to their settings) but the setting to adjust what you see in your stream has annoying disappeared so you can't do anything about it!
