when a thread starts: - 2007MAR04

[Lothar]

Hi Admins,

I have some problems with the overview information at the forum:
2 Examples:

Page: "New Discussions"
(1) There is written: “Hayley's Tour Diary - April” When you open this thread you can see it is from April 2006.
(2) There is written: “HWI EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!!” When you open this thread you can see it is from 2004.

It is a pity to get this information about the day when the thread started not before you open it.

My suggestion or better to say my wish is: Please could you add the date when a thread starts in the field <started by> .


I think for me it is more important when a thread started as who is the owner. Maybe you can show both information at this field.

A other possibility is: all writers add a information of the date in thier subjects - like me in this thread.

Hello Lothar!

I don't know if it's possible to add the date in the 'Started by' column, but Roger would know. Meanwhile I have modified the titles of the two threads you mentioned to include the year. From now on, I'll watch out for old threads that get revived, and modify the titles as appropriate.

Best Wishes from London,

Richard

Hi Lothar,

I agree it would be helpful to add the date in the "Started by" column but Richard is quite right in saying it can't be done. The only possible solution is to do as you have done by including the date as part of the title but that severely limits the length of the main part of that title.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I doubt if there is an ideal solution to this one.

Hi Richard and Roger,

thank you for your support.

Maybe my suggestion to put the date in the subject could be helpful.
