Last night, I was searching for an IM buddy of mine from a couple of years ago so I thought I would search within this community. Is there not a Directory (of sorts) of members?
Last question. How does one see what the posting date of the topic is? I know I can click on that thread and look at the stats under the OPs post. I may not want to read an old Topic.
It is more of, as a default we don’t want it. If you want it, write a plugin. Which I don’t necessarily disagree with. They need to choose a default they feel fits the majority of their customers and if you wish to alter that, you should do the customization on your instance.
I’m not sure why their default was to remove it when EVERY forum shows it today, but it is their decision to make, we can always alter our instance if it becomes a major problem.
Also, and I need to test this here. There is supposed to be a “warning” when you are replying to an old topic/thread. I’ve yet to see it myself, but I also haven’t attempted to reply to an old topic/thread yet.
