Wouldn't it be good to have a header in the 'Active' lists which showed who actually created the thread? I think I would find this more useful than seeing the name of the latest poster to the thread. The time of the latest post could still be shown, so we would know if there were any additions to the thread since we'd last checked.
Any thoughts?

The reason it occurred to me was that sometimes a member will say, 'I will/may put this all in another thread later'. A 'thread started by' header would facilitate looking out for the new thread. Without this help it can be a guessing game looking through all the new thread titles. Admittedly a very small inconvenience, but that's why I wondered if it might be a good idea.smile

Oops sorry, I didn't "turn" the page.

You can change how many messages per page too Nina, also in customise! I have everything on one page and use bookmarks to take me to the last one I read. That way I can scroll back if I need to without having to go back a page or two.

ninathenana Of course you can ask anything you like, but I don't understand your question. Consequently, I am unable to answer it.

Sorry absent ignore me, your post didn't seem to be relevant to the thread. That's because I didn't scroll back. Numpty me !
