Re: last: tag
1) If you concern about space - change data / time format from (an example here):
16th Jul 08:36PM
to:
07-16 20:36
2) last poster column was important for me. Please keep it.
3) I do not think that asterisks pointing to user's info are important on fav page. I'd eliminate all of them as an extra unnecessary clutter.
Thanks

said by koam  :in the Last Post column... - kill the ordinal text "th" "st" etc. unnecessary. - kill the leading zero on the time stamp...ditto both are just clutter. The leading zero in the time stamp allows the time to line up regardless of what time it is, to wit: 12:45 takes up the same amount of space as 04:37 -- it's aesthetically more pleasing that way, not clutter.

the leading zero should be a leading space and the numbers should line up vertically. there's no need to display the zero |

The leading zero isn't the problem. The formatting is. |

said by justin :I'm going to leave it as it is for a while, and work on some other stuff with the layout. There is lots of useful information that could be displayed: how long ago in minutes a topic was updated, how big the last post was, whether a mod or vip has posted in a topic, whether someone you 'follow' has posted yet or not, whether there are lots of deletes, if a topic was resurrected. I could go on. One or more of these things could have been in from the start (instead of a clickable "last poster" name) and some people would have developed habits that involve checking for this, and would simply hate to see it go. The only answer is a fully custom layout for logged in users where you select the columns you want to see - and maybe that is where it has to go. Thanks for leaving it as it was for now. The last poster information was very important to me as well. As someone stated, I often skim and look for replies from people's opinion I value and read the thread, even if the thread isn't directly relevant to me.
The fully customizable layout seems like a lot of work, however.  |

I will keep my actual opinion of how it looks to myself! I found the last poster info very useful and would prefer it in the format it was in! It worked fine on my iPhone the way it was; agreed with cyber sexy librarian!  |
