The recent changes to the forum have sparked dissatisfaction among users, particularly regarding the inability to see who replied to threads and the number of views and replies unless logged in. Many users prefer to know the last poster's name and the number of replies to gauge a thread's activity before engaging. While some adjustments aim to enhance mobile usability, they have led to confusion and frustration, especially with features like the page number list and notifications being altered or removed. Users have suggested alternatives like using Tapatalk for better notifications, but the core issue remains the lack of visibility for key interaction metrics. Overall, there is a strong desire for the return of previously available features to improve user experience.
