First post/last post thing is good or not good.

I'm flattered. 0_o

Your interest has single handedly made me want to actually do something to this so, um, take that as you will.

It looks good, but at the same time it doesn't. Right now it's a bit too cluttered and out of place for the eyes, but with a little tweaking I'm sure it would look good.

That is my main issue with it. It's like a clump of data on the side.

Maybe if you changed it to an "Author" column, have the name, and below the name in small text have the date without the time. I don't imagine myself wanting to know at what minute the topic was made, and frankly I'm more interested in who created the topic than what date it was posted (currently, the date is a larger font than the name, giving it more importance). This is in contrast to the "Last Post" column, where I'm personally more interested in the date than the last poster. That's all just personal preference though. =P

Or maybe keep all that, and just re-position them slightly and maybe change the font size/color.

Or perhaps forego the "First Post" column entirely and stick "by Whoever on Date" in small text below the topic title -- though that may seem a little too... commercial since all the other big forums do it that way.

Like I said, kinda like it, but kinda don't. I really don't know. I'm not really one to talk to about web design, since I don't have an eye for it. >.>

The whole purpose is to eventually have the table headers be clickable to sort the page (so I can clear out some things from the preferences page basically). But this makes it so I shouldn't have the author more pronounced.

I made some changes. The author gets his own cell now. Is this better?

Because I'm so inspirational, right? lol =)

Why yes.

I honestly don't know. =/ I think the problem is that there isn't much you can do. You said it best:

It essentially is.

Orginally posted by XtremeGamer99:

I just had a thought: Why would you want to sort by first post? Is this a necessary feature?

You know, it probably isn't. I'm really only trying to have it in because it's a feature now and on GameFAQs. Maybe I'll just take it right out. I kind of like being able to see when a topic was created though. ... For now I'll leave it as it is and if there are any better solutions I'll consider them.

But! *gasp* I did something else. You can click on message lists now and they are new and different.

ABCode has changed also so most of the posts are broken a bit.
