What a stupid idea to not show that now. Even hovering your mouse over a thread title doesn't reveal who posted it. That's not smart.

Yea, not a fan of the new layout. It's a bit clunky, but in time, like other changes, we'll get used to it.

I agree. It's really stupid. You also can't see when a thread was started anymore. How such basic functionality can be left out and/or removed is beyond me.

needs to show the name and date up front without having to dig for it.

yes but it puts the most recent poster under that. It's confusing. I mean, obviously I have the greatest avatar and everyone clearly knows when I have made yet another awesome thread, but that doesn't help the other 99.9% (~57 members) that post here.

OP has a great point. Excellent post. Move it to the right forum though so it (has a chance at) being addressed.

Or people with no avatar, where it just shows the first letter of their name.

Oh, OK (wrong forum)... lost sight where I was. It was past my bedtime and I was on the cusp of turning out the light and going to sleep. Forgiveness appreciated!

Yep, why not showing who started the thread, but only showing who replied?

Yes... maintaining the wealth of information on the thread list would be a positive development.

This is Forum Issues, not OT. Please do not post snarky insults, profanity, off topic ramblings, etc.
