No, Today's Posts are not the same as New Posts.

(What does your New Posts list do differently? That is the difference.)

My apologies to Capn for my outburst. It did feel like you were telling us to shut up about the thread we were discussing on the thread about the subject, but I overreacted. I think this heat makes me grumpy!

Anyhoo, I really am trying to learn about the features and am willing to go with the majority thinks is the best way to display those features; my opinion is not so useless as to be discounted, however.

Truce? :p

So the old "you can't disagree with what I said, or meant, because I didn't say, or mean, anything" ploy still works? Otherwise known as the "you aren't allowed to disagree with my position because I don't have a position, I just accidentally hit the post button" ruse.

Well, I came in really late... but I just have to put my :2cents: in. ;)

I prefer the timestamp. And I prefer it because it is easier for me to navigate, and it was easier when I was a lurker and wasn't logged in most of the time. I almost always know what time and day it is so there is no figuring or using calculators with me. If today is the 9th, and there is a post that is from the 5th, then I know it was 4 days ago. I don't even have to think much about it. It also makes it easier for me to see when people post if I haven't been to a thread in a week. All of the posts say one week ago, and so I don't know if they were the same day or not. Posts over several days are all lumped into one catagory, and I don't like that. I want to know if the drunken post was at 2am in the morning, not just if it was today.

I guess I am just more aware of things like that and I like numbers. After all, I work at a bank. All I see day in and day out are numbers. :worried:

I think part of the reason people like the timestamp is because since it was around for so long, they are used to it and prefer that extra information. And like I said, just because it confuses you and discourages you, doesn't mean that every lurker feels the same way. I know I didn't.

And what is wrong with just prefering something? I don't see why it is such a problem for you to log in anyway... and if you check the "remember me" box when you log in you will stayed logged in. Jeez. :D

edit: Oh, and thanks UT for the change. I like this way much better!
