Question Did we lose the "date started" feature in the last update?

Noticed that following yesterday's downtime around 11PM PST for security updates the "date started" information is no longer listed for the threads. Anyone else notice this?

Yep, noticed this. At the beginning I hated when they added the date thing since it clustered up the forum, but it grew on me since I could easily decipher which threads were new! Too bad!

Yes, I noticed (miss) this, too.

Is there a summary posted somewhere of changes made (or is this something FlyerTalk would consider, if there are changes to the features of the forum)?

Thank you for raising this new omission! ^

Will this be returning or is it gone forever? I liked having the info available to recognize that a thread just started or was very old, I found it to be useful in focusing my FT time.

I'd hate to see that start date feature go away. It made browsing much more efficient for me.

I just noticed that this morning.... I certainly hope this was just a glitch... I found that feature to be one of the best improvements to FT in years.... and not just because I recommended it....

Agree, please bring it back.

If not, then an explanation/reason for removing it would be nice.

What everyone else said. It is certainly a useful feature for the Mods.

Another vote for RESTORING this kewl feature!

Made looking at threads simpler since old threads (years old) that have been search(YEA)resurrected are less important (to me) than one created today!

We performed an update to vB late last night, this must have somehow inadvertently been removed through template changes or other means. I will be looking into it today. Thank you,

Yup, I overlooked something, you should now see the started date as you did before. Enjoy and thanks for the heads up,
