Forum Display: What do you find the least useful?
When reviewing a forum we have :
As a user (not admin).. What is the most useful information to you? What can you live without? Personally, I find the Threads and Posts count useless. If it's a big board, I also find the Last Poster and Last Postdate useless. |

Interesting question. Since I am 'comfortable' at this site, I must say that I really don't pay much attention to any of that anymore. I just go directly to where I want to be.
As a newbie though, I would look at thread/post count to see how active the forum is because I would want to go where everyone else seems to go. I would assume the really active forum is the place I want to start. If a forum has hardly any threads/posts, I would assume there is a reason - like that is the wrong place to post! As I got more comfortable at a forum, then I would start looking at the Last Poster to see if I recognized a user. After you read several threads (as a newbie), you get a sense of who knows the place, who is helpful, who you want to avoid, etc, so seeing who the Last Poster is would be useful to me. |

interesting..
thank you - for your detailed answer there's really no wrong answer here .. I'm just curious if anyone else feels the same way I do. I find many of the options "bloated" code.. and yes, the options really do make a difference on smaller boards. On big boards - where a lot of it is constantly changing .. I believe it's not necessary. anyone else? |
