On the homepage in the Prime skin, do the times of the last posts appear? All I seem to get are the days only (like Today and Yesterday).
They're still missing and it's hard to tell if there are new posts since you can't see the time.

If the symbol on the left is white, there are no new posts. If it's green, there are new posts since you last read that forum. You can also double click on the symbol to mark it as read if it doesn't change automatically so you'll know there are new posts when it turns back to green again.

Why not just post the time? :frown: I don't watch colors. <grumble>

I don't know, I prefer seeing the time too, but have been getting used to watching colors in the absence of the time being posted on the index page.
