Yes I agree with both those points, Nina
I've given up with the mobile site for that reason, and also because I can't go to 'I'm On' which is where I look first.
Annoyingly, my phone reverts to the mobile site of its own volition, and GN then wants me to log in again as well.

I miss seeing the time and name of the last post. No such luxuries on the mobile site.
Also on other forums I belong to you can go straight to last page from the active page. So for instance on 'Ask a Question' you wouldn't have to open the thread and then click last. That's would be useful.

I prefer to know the name of the last poster. It helps me decide whether to read the post or not wink

It's worth considering, there are some posters whose threads I make a point of reading, and there are some that I avoid!

I think it doesn't matter who started a thread. Often threads wander. They should. Often they stray away from the original subject for a while, and then return to it. The conversation is more important than who started the thread.

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?
