Re: last: tag
I am still playing around but I don't think "last poster" deserves its own column. Hard to see why a column of last usernames needs to be scanned vertically.. |

The reason for fiddling with this layout at all is to give more space to the topic title for browsers with less horizontal screen space such as the iphone browser. Trim off the un-necessary fat basically. |

Why not just nix it altogether? if one wants to see who last posted they can click the little "e" thing or hit end on a thread without an e.

And for those of us who don't allow mouseovers on the site? But did look to see who last posted on something.....
And with all due respect, I realize it's your site, you can do what you want, but how many hits are you getting from browsers like the iPhone to warrant such a drastic format change? If it's really to get more spacing for the titles, and I would assume the date something was last updated, then why not most the who posted last to the last column on the right. The it doesn't take up room for the less horizontal screen browsers and those of us who actually look at the column can still use it. |

When I used the iPhone, websites such as CNN automatically displayed their "mobile" version without any user interaction. |

I liked the old format. The last poster gives you a quick idea, over time, of who is posting in a thread. It sometimes encourages me to read the thread, especially if I see users who are sharp, posting. I will then read the thread to see what has been said.

That works fine for those that use the mouse over feature. Some like myself have mouse over turned off.
