Last posting dates confusing!!!!!

tripodjw (Elite) posted this on Saturday, 7th July 2001, 09:59

OK i know some of you appreciate the change so that the threads are labelled by when the last posting date is, but i personally don`t like it.

The threads were sorted by the last posting anyway, those most recently added to were at the top, so if you wanted to look for new comments you start at the top.

BUT some of those threads are old ones and most of the useful info in them has been read previously. I

always found it useful to have the original posting date on the thread so that i knew which were new since i last logged in, now i have to go much further thru checking over threads which i`ve seen before but were of no interest but have a name that may be related to what i`m looking for.

Can`t we have both the original posting date and that of the last thread posted within it.

Purlease!

I agree either both dates or go back to the original posting date.

Heh that would instill a lot of paranoia in the forums wouldn`t it. :)
