On the last post, it shows the date instead of the time. What do you guys think of this?

Personally, I find it annoying that I can't see what exact time people posted it on. Don't you? :|

I agree. I would much rather see the time, that way, I know when the people who are in my RPG are on when I am, or when they last posted. Just the date is not that functional.

I also notice a change in the flag location (at least for the OP), and it now says Report this instead of Flag this.

It's weird, but I think the change was made to prevent necros.

Also, I think this thread should be to discuss all changes, not just the Last Post change.

Update: This change applies for all posts, not just the OP.

All posts except the OP got deleted, though I don't see what was wrong with those posts.

I've only noticed the two mentioned changes and I dislike both of them. The flag is in an obnoxious place now and the last post is much less accurate and useful if the post isn't a day old at least.

Update: That was most likely a glitch. The posts have returned.

I don't mind the flag change since we will just have to get used to the new location. However, I agree with your dislike of the new last post system. I already posted why I think it was made, but I don't think necros are common enough to warrant the change in the last post system.

The glitch happened again. Apparently, if you have already posted in a thread and you leave it, you have to post again before seeing any post other than the OP. I don't think this is intentional, but rather a glitch that resulted from the changes.

I don't really like the date system it doesn't show when someone is on or not or what exact time it is posted.I can get used to it after a while but like others I prefer the Hour/minutes system.

I found something new with the glitch I posted about before. Your thread is shown as having 0 replies and last post by you (referring to acmed). Also, the community shows this forum's last post as being in a thread other than this despite the fact that posts in this thread have been made since the post in the other thread.

Another change or glitch: There are more than 10 posts in 1 page. I am not sure if this is intentional or not.

Noticed it takes longer for me to go the forums and even type a post here.

It doesn't fix the 'clicking last post and getting to page numbers only', if that's what they're after.

I'm not a fan of the date over the time change, although i think the forums look much neater and the report flag is more visible for users.

I'm also experiencing some glitching, but that's bound to happen when something changes on a website, i'm sure they'll get around to it.

The glitch is still there, so I am testing for posts.
