FYI -- forum updates

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.

Also I see the 'Star' Icon has gone from 'New' Notifications in the drop down menu, that was rather useful.

I’m assuming the count begins from when the add-on software was installed, but I’ll check on that.
