Hey, forum designers... SHOW WHO STARTED A THREAD!!!

[Muse]

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.

 

[dawp]

it does show the avatar of the thread starter just does not name them

 

[Thebobo]

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

Because, until you posted the direct link, we couldn't get there from here. The root forum page won't load.

I really dislike the new smilies. It looks like I'm eating a giant Oreo.

Oh. Is for me up at the top under the thread title.

The link is there, the page itself doesn't load.

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!

I agree, we'll get used to whatever, but I'm hoping they can and will make sensible changes. PLEASE??????!!!!!????!!!!!!! With whipped cream on top???? Thanksgiving is coming....

 

[Pipeline 1010]

I'd also like the ability to navigate to the last post directly. Let's enact sensible forum control laws.

 

[mxnerd]

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

 

[Jaskalas]

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

[allisolm]

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

 

[Carson Dyle]

Wrong thread, reposted elsewhere.

Agreed. I will inquire about fixing this today.
