Forums needs a "Last Post By..." Column

from GalCiv2 Forums
I wish there was a "last post by" column like you see in many other forums. I just find it kind of annoying not being able to tell whether your post has been responded to or not. Anyone agree?

I'm more irritated by the fact that if my post is the last post, then the thread never gets marked as "read". It stays at "unread/new messages). If they fix that, we will know if there are any new responses in threads we've replied in.

That's weird Star Pilot, I don't have that problem, the forums always report a thread as read if I reply in it. Maybe it's your cookie settings, or do you click on the forum again after you reply, or do you hit the back button? I hit the forum link, and it effectively refreshes the list.

I click on the forum link. Has the same behavior on GC1 forums. I'll check out about the cookie settings. I may need to add another stardock server to my "trusted" list. Thanks for the tips!

Hmm... I think i've noticed what you are talking about Star, there seems to be about a minute lag in what the forum says I've read and haven't read sometimes, so if I go into and out of a few posts too quickly, it won't change the icons right away. Maybe I just haven't noticed till now because I have a hard enough time with my ISP disconnecting me every few minutes recently, making it usually more than just a few seconds between thread reads.
