MN are you going to put the name of the person who started a thread and the name of the last person to post on the thread, back?

It does sometimes help with the decision of whether to read or not

I agree. I think removing both of these is definitely a retrograde step.

SpindleInTheWind · 30/04/2022 22:50

Agreed

BIWI · 01/05/2022 12:03

... and also, please put back the date of the posts. That does (sometimes) stop people posting on zombie threads!

Agreed.

I can’t remember this and even how this appeared

Must not have taken much notice

Agreed.

I agree too, it definitely helped.

I'd forgotten that ever existed!
Was it only on the desktop site it did that? I'm on my phone (not app) and can't remember seeing that for ages. But I'm not that observant in fairness

I agree, seeing who posted last is a really useful feature.

It shows at a glance if someone has posted since you last looked (who's got the spare attention span to memorise how many posts, or time of last post you read). Plus fosters a sense of community, because you can look and see who's in.

Yes, I think it was.

But there's no good reason to make a desktop site just like a mobile site when it can be so much more and better
