Possible LES UI Improvement?

edited December 2023 in General

Outside of all the awesomeness here there's one thing that's just been driving me crazy. There's no way to tell when a post was originally posted without clicking to see the first post.

I was thinking something along the lines of this:

Nothing special, but enough to indicate whether something is fresh or rotten. So you can look at that list right there and and see @Ympker wished us a Merry Christmas two days late* and @not_oles is there necroposting a thread from 2009!!!**

More specifically, It'd help differentiate whether a provider is running a current sale/special/limited offer and if it's likely still active or not. Sale from October on the front page today? Probably not active. Christmas special? Yeah, that sounds right, but when it was posted 3 years ago, not so much.

    Better approach imo is just to hard-lock stuff that is super old.

    The new clueless will create new threads anyway

    Where is the required "debian please" poll option ?

    Thank you, I've voted now.
    Your a lucky guy. Every time in the past when I've tried to edit a poll it deletes the poll.

    I think it may have axed the results! Forgot to view before I tried to get all sneaky sneaky on you.

    Complains about the UI, yet uses the damn dark mode...

    @FrankZ - can I? Pleeease?

    :)

    On a more serious note, I'm not sure if that's possible to do with Vanilla.

    Xenforo (my tutorial link) does it nicely - shows the nick & avatar of the thread starter and the latest replier (is that the word), along with the dates.

    But LES works great on a technical level and migrating to a completely different platform would probably be too much work for questionable gains (if any, really).

    Yep, that is what happens. It's a Vanilla feature.

    Probably to prevent fixing the elec... the polls.

  • I use this userscript. It's not a date, but it's better than not showing anything.

    I wrote a JavaScript for Lowndtalk, but I rarely use LowndSpirit, So I did not write scripts for LowendSpirit.
