The announcement was on top of every forum, where the usual place for all announcement. However, it was up less than 3 hours before the actual upgrade/relaunch happened at 8:00 pm CDT yesterday. It only specified how long the site would be down and didn't tell you anything about what features had been upgraded or improved.

Now all morning long, eager FTers have been hunting down what useful features have been imprremoved.

In the name of improvement, why would we remove useful field/s or features, such as the thread start date? Please put it back!
