The time may be fixed, but other problem persist.
You still can't tell which ones you have seen or not, by half white dot or brightness change.
Fixed.You have to go look and when you click a thread it dumps you into "Flat View" now.
That's the best theory I've heard so far.
as there were columns:
- started by;
- last posted by;
- last posted (time);
and then suddenly all these goodies are gone now

I think that is what surprises me the most about DPR. They do not seem to know the concept of a staging lab. Changes seem to be implemented with little forethought and no testing.
Even this editor is now the most dumbed down of any I have seen on any forum. Ever. There is no way to enter a code for quoting. On a forum! Brain melts.

It's fixed now. Use the "feedback" link so Dpreview will see it sooner than reading forums!
Not everything is fixed like we had before as mentioned by jpr2 in http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50150320 .
The only thing I see fixed (with FF 15.0.1) is the list is now back to sorted by "last post" time with the most recent at the top.
I still can't tell which threads I haven't seen and I have submitted "feedback" about it. John

top DPR staffers used to pop into UI oriented threads like this one: straight after the last big upheaval, but no more

Well, they answered by fixing it, mostly. It would be nice to have all the fields there though; the number of posts in the thread, the day it was started, and the time of the most recent post, as well as an indicator of anything yet unread.jpr2 wrote:
three days has passed and still no reaction from DPR
I don't know if it's better to report problems here, or use "Feedback". In the past, I found that "Feedback" was pretty much a null mailbox, designed for typing practice and nothing more. Perhaps that is no longer the case. I reported the non-working "n" keyboard shortcut and "Next" above the post in threaded view this morning, and it was fixed soon after, but of course, that may have nothing to do with my "Feedback".

What I would like to see is notification in our 'My Threads' page when someone posts to a topic that we posted to two months, four months, or even four years ago!
I've seen topics in the front page of a forum that looks interesting, only to find that it is often years old and sometimes surprised that I posted to it already.
This is something I have asked for many times over the years . . . and I am not alone with this wish.

Why not put Recent back like it was right before this thread started? It was better then.
