I am very much missing the current local time below the posters forum name. I am not sure if this is a general change or just on my iPad, but I found it helpful in locating posters in culture, time and space.

 

[splitimageview]

Thanks for your feedback! It’s very helpful to know what’s important to users.

Will look into this today.

current local time below the posters forum name

member's local time should now be working.

for those who aren't aware of it, hover over a member's name and it will show local time here:

Thank you, very helpful. I don't have to hover, it is just there as the third line under any avatar photo in the left column.

 

[splitimageview]

yes, that appears on the Default theme, and the Shades of Grey theme.

However it's not yet installed on the Development theme, which is, ahem, under development! 😉

Choose themes (styles) at the lower left of the browser:

Personally I don't like the 'Who read this thread' in the footer, don't see the point in it, the old 'Who's reading....' was more subtle.

one doesn't have to scroll down to the very bottom of the page if you don't want to see who has read the thread.

makes the page too busy for some threads

 

[splitimageview]

I don't mind the “who read this thread” change, but is it readers from the starting post or recent readers? For long running threads it could get quite large and at that point kind of meaningless. If I have added something recently it is nice to know if it has been read and by how many. For instance, I posted in the W/NW double exposure recently and it shows 11 readers. I am sure that many more looked at the first pages before my post over the years, and in fact it shows 3K views total. I find the 11 number useful but am not sure what it encompasses or means.
