September 4, 2008: Guess Not!
Can we some updates on this development (another tentative date, availability of FT during relaunch transit...etc)?
TIA.

First thing I noticed on the new FT is that the thread list in a forum no longer shows when a thread started 
That's a big minus as you can't tell what is new. 
Can we get it back please!

Seconded - I know one of the goals of the upgrade was to "de-clutter" FT, but the thread start date was important in helping one scan what was new that day as opposed to an old thread brought back to life. I already miss it a lot...

The top line of links has disappeared. (Where you used to find, "Forums", "Members", etc. with dropdown links to the FT Store & the blogs.) Will those be coming back?
The "Public Profile" pages have also changed. It seems to track visitors to your page & allows visitors to post messages. Any other new "features"?

What's with the bookmark links below the posts? if the desire was to de-clutter, I figure you'd remove not add things.

Another emphatic vote of support for this. One of my biggest frustrations is clicking on a year-old thread that someone decided to resurrect for no clear reason.

Now all morning long, eager FTers have been hunting down what useful features have been
In the name of improvement, why would we remove useful field/s or features, such as the thread start date? Please put it back!
