There is one little modification I'd like to see to the board layout - I don't know whether it would be easy or not:

When I open up a topic (eg. "thongs"), I'd like to see the same info for the FIRST post in each thread as for the last post. That is, the identity of the member who started the thread. and the date/time on which it was started.

This would instantly alert me as to whether it's an old very long-lived thread, or a new one.

It would also help in cases where the subject is "My new blue thong" and I don't know (or can't remember) WHOSE blue thong it is unless I go to the start of the thread. This is why when I post a photo to the forum I tend to make the subject something like "SweatyAussie in <whatever>", so that I can see at a glance which are threads referring to my pics, and which are someone else's.

Maybe it'll be an option in the upgraded Vbuletin software. There's been 2 major and many minor upgrades to the software since it's been upgraded here last.

Just get ready for the galleries to blow! kaboom!

What was the upshot on this, deusex, I take the the new version doesn't have the "Thread Started by ..." feature?

You don't get the date/time but the name of the topic starter is displayed under the topic title. (Is this what you meant?)

That's true, and that info is better than none.
