Forum - Last updated by

mzywiol

Hi,

In the forums tag in my opinion it would be much more useful if instead of the "creator" column there was a "last updated by", "last replied" or "last spoke" column, with a name of the author of the latest entry - it would make tracking the discussion easier (i.e. "if it's not me in this column, it means someone replied something")

Regards and thanks for an awesome tool!

Well if you look to the right of the "Started By" tag, there are tags for both (a), how many comments that thread contains, and (b), who last commented on this thread.

Cheers,

I don't see that, Arsh. I get the how many comments and the amount of time since last posting, but not who posted last. I agree that this would be a good feature, and if it already exists, maybe I need to adjust my settings or something?

arsheesh

Hm, perhaps that's just a feature only moderators can see; sorry, my bad.

No, I distinctly remember seeing it before I was a mod.

Also, I just logged out and opened the forum page and it still showed "last comment" with the commenter named.

Oh, guys, but I don't mean here, on this forum we're reading and I'm posting to right now.

I meant the forums that are in our campaigns.

Ah... gotcha. I don't really use my campaign's forum option, but I would think it would be fairly simple to adjust the formatting to match the general forums... but then, I'm not Micah, so I'm just pulling that assumption out of my nether-regions.

I am just happy for any campaign forum input I get. I read every entry so it doesn't really matter. I usually get a notification by email, and I'm sure it tells me who has made the comment.

I'm totaly agree with mzywiol, I think the campaign's forum could be more like a "classical forum" : a "last comment" column, the possibility to create sub-topic (for clarity)... etc.

Since it's been a while since there was any activity in this thread and there's no "Last updated on XXX by XXX" in the campaign forums (unless I've completely missed something?) I'd just like to give this a little bump :)
