A couple things I miss

[afishhunter]

Sorry to bother you, Sparks.
I miss the date the threads were created.
It helped to prevent replying to a years or decades old thread.
I miss the "Last post by ____" information.

Unrelated question:
Due to financial restraints, I have never been a paying member.
I am 98.9% sure that before the software change, I was able to have my picture as my avatar. I cannot set my picture as my avatar now.
Am I wrong, and thinking of a different forum, or has it changed and basic members are no longer allowed an avatar?

Above every post there is a bar. At the left it shows the date of the post.

This has always been a feature for paid subscriptions

Not to hijack this thead, but I have a question. Where can I find the instruction manual for the new layout? Quite honestly I am lost, I can log on and do a basic reply but that is all I can do. I want to learn how to create new threads, make quotes to replys etc and the general user functions. Just logging in requires multiple steps. I fully understand the fact that change sometimes has to happen, but software developers need to provide full instructions. Just because I hold a driver's license to drive a truck, don't assume I can fly a 747, but unfortunately software developers assume that or they would provide an instruction manual and functionalities that are both standardized and as clear as the brake peddle is on the left, gas on the right and the steering wheel in front of me.

Thank you, Sparks. I must have been thinking of another forum.
The things I miss appear when I use my tablet, just not my phone.
Prior to just now, In did not know that.

One thing I miss... or at least I have not found it yet.... is being able to see users brown a forum or a specific thread.
