I'm with you, @raymondbruce! Steemit needs to have some additional tabs and ways to access and sort activity. It is very inefficient as it is. I know there are people working on changes, and hopefully these kinds of changes will be implemented someday.
I've upvoted and resteemed this article as one of my daily post promotions for the @mitneb Curation Trail Project. It will be featured in the @mitneb Curation Trail Project Daily Report for 24 FEB 2018.
Cheers!
