I don't care. I never used it.

May I ask how/why people got hooked on this last 10 posts thing?
I mean...I used it occasionally and I guess it was helpful but my life on PA is not effected at all due to its removal. Is clicking on the threads/pages themselves really that drastic a change? ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Maybe it's just me, but I feel the activity of the forum dropped since the "last posts" facility is gone. I'm posting much less, that's for sure. Is it a big deal? For me it is. I don't feel the part of PA anymore . "Active Topics" can't compare to this.------------- |

Can't compare to what? 10 last posts against all the posts that were made in an interval?  -------------

Sorry Rico, call me tiny-brained but that's how it is/was: Let's admit, no offense to anyone: the majority of people posting in the forum(s) - including the PA one are...well, they're not addicted or computer geeks maybe, but certainly hedonists who like to sit down in a comfortable chair and browse their favourite web page. Somewhat lazy at that (at least I am). I used to login, read a few reviews on a front page, lurk at a profile or two if someone's review is interesting enough, go to forums, scroll to last ten posts, read, comment, contribute..after I "exhaused" all the posts of the "latest 10" I would eventually go to take a look at the active topics...and found that I already replied the majority of most interesting threads. So yes, I am lazy to focus on new things(improvements), and I salute improvements in general, but I would like to see last 10 posts back. It was not only more fun, it was almost essential for me and obviously also for a certain number of forum members. Am I lazy, slow, not able to adapt? Perhaps... And please, no hard feelings nor stone-throwing because of my prejudice about an averge forum-poster. It's probably saying more about me than the others...  ------------- |

Agree completely. I've been posting less and less. The last 10 posts was a useful tool. Yes, maybe not something we can't live without, but its dissappearance certainly has caused more harm than its existence. I don't think any members ceased to post because the last 10 posts was on the forum page, did they? On the other hand, the opposite is true: people HAVE stopped posting since its dissapearance. -------------

You know, even though during the evenings (in this part of the world) it mostly read "Velvet Room" ten times, I still liked the feature, and consulted it a lot.
I often turn to this forum for the "human element," and the Last Ten Posts feature could tell you, at a glance, who was currently active on the forum, and what they were talking about (& whether it was of interest). Thus, it was good when what I was really looking for was immediate contact & response -- something more akin to an actual "conversation."
I miss it -- it was a quick, condensed and, most importantly, an up-to-the-minute version of the Active Topics feature.  ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

I have verified it today... The active topics function sucks... We were having a big discussion in a thread about MAlmsteen and it didn't even show in the "active topics"....
You see? Bring the last 10 posts! -------------
