Working on it Please bring back "updated since last visit" clue on main page

Baron, a lot of people have commented on this. It was the same story back in February with the earlier redo. You could eliminate 90% of the complaints by adding this feature back, adding the join date/posts info and changing the overly bright color scheme, hopefully back to classic ET.

People are trying to tell you that they find the user experience degraded. It's not personal, they just loved the old ET. Surely these are not insurmountable technical issues. The fact that I can click around the site and get the info is not a satisfactory answer because as a practical matter, few of us are going to do that.

To you, it may seem like all it takes is a couple of mouse clicks and boom, it's done. Well let me tell you, it's not that easy. That's why you don't see this same feature implemented on all the other forums. So sit back, grab a beer and just let me do my thing.

Thank you.

I understand it is quite some work.

And it is (was) an advantage ET has over other forums.



May I ask for another rollback?

It's quite helpful to see with one glance if a user who is posting something is a newbie (so potential spammer, troll or just lacking experience).
Would it be possible to show again some hint behind the user's name - something like date when joined ET, number of postings or so?

Sorry to bring this up again but I see no change.

For me using ET without this feature is inefficient.
Therefore I didn't look into the new posts/threads page for quite some time now.
 
You can switch over to the Classic color scheme view by clicking on the word "Modern" at the bottom left of the page and then choosing "Classic". It's still a work in progress but it should tone down the brightness quite a bit.

Thank you for the reply.

Tried this for several days now.
Sorry, can't see any effect.
The triangles look all the same for my eye.

What do you mean by "triangles"? A screen shot would be helpful too.

I know each screen dimension on mobile devices cause you innumerable headaches, but chrome on the Android works just fine now. I am on an S5 and it looks pretty good.
 
I don't miss the old format and I liked it a lot. The new forum features are excellent. The best feature of the old was the home page showing the "top threads" without updating whether you'd visited one of those threads. IMO, that should be prominent on the home page, with a link to forums and "recent threads"

You lose none of the functionality while keeping some of the old.
