Me too. Too much clutter for my eyes.

I agree that it looks very cluttered now - will take some getting used to.

Perhaps only the date of the first post could be included rather than date and time? It seems if this was added so that people don't unsuspectingly click on ancient threads, that having a date alone would be enough.

I have taken some of the secondary suggestions into consideration including the following:

- Removed the time, leaving just the date of thread origination.
- Lightened the color of the new information.
- Made it grammatically compatible with the forums "Today" and "Yesterday" dates.

Lets see how this works for everyone.

Thank you Tim, toning down the date info makes an enormous difference. The handle of the OP also pops out very nicely - overall much, much easier on the eye. Appreciate the patience you've extended to us purists ^

The grey is better, but I still think a rollover would be even better. That makes it easily accessible for the 5% of the time when you care (like when you don't recognize the thread title) and out of the way for the 95% of the time when you don't.

Would still be nice to be able to completely disable it on a per-user basis.

Thanks, Tim. I really like having the date of the beginning of the thread.

OTOH, I find the light gray difficult to read, but I realize that I'm distinctly in the minority on that.
