Knowing who posted last on a thread

[Kayleigh]

Not sure if anyone will agree but I would find it helpful if i could see who the last person was to post on a thread.
I sometimes post then don't read the thread for a while. I will then go back to the thread to find I was the last poster. If my name came up, say, after the "Latest message: 28 Jan 04, 1:37:44 PM" banner then i wouldn't bother going into the thread. I never take any notice of what time I'm posting so the time indicator is not much help. When the site is slow this would save me quite a bit of time.

Hear hear! I've asked for something similar here

ahh yes prettycandles that would be good.
hopefully justine & carrie will look at these threads and think we are very clever and make the changes immediately because they are so wonderful
(helllooooo, anyone out there ?!)

will post on your thread too to bump it up !

hey clever people,
will ask tech if possible asap...

(preen)

Erm, I might be being dim, but haven't we already got it ?

My list shows

Nickname, Date & Time, First Sentence of post

Perhaps it's because I don't use the Active conversations, just ask for updates since I last looked IYSWIM

Twink - it shows all that stuff on 'last day' but not on Active Conversations.
Good idea Kayleigh

Ta ! Yes I can see it would be irritating to not have it, I know I'd waste time checking things without it.

I always use 'search for new messages' and within that 'messages since I last checked for new messages' It seems to be alot less hickledy pickledy then active conversations and you know what comes up you haven't seen. - It also lists the author of the posts.

I do occasionally use 'messages since I last checked for new messages' but i tend to use active conversations more especilly when i am at work and am dipping in and out all day.
