On this topic, if you want a more traditional top down approach, going to the categories page as your landing page would provide similar functionality. It shows the latest top threads, and highlights any you haven't read new posts in. Given the TTL and poppycock forum have a tiny amount of activity compared to OW, I think seeing the latest postings would work out in time. Currently the import process is just dumping all posts at basically the 'same time' hence the slight jumbling.

Also, in regards to keeping up with new content. In the preferences for your profile you can track Outwitters and DL. this means any new activity there will automatically get put towards your unread count. So visiting your unread section simply gives you a timeline of things that have happened for categories you're interested in.

Thanks for pointing these things out - I'll be sure to give them a try.

Can you be more specific as to which functionality in myBB helps with this that discourse is lacking?

Jesus gave a good example, I think. Not as much a problem on desktop (more screen space), but it seems that mobile threads are a bit cluttered.

This was a mistake on my part. I may also not have stressed enough how the current theme is a work in progress. The CSS was broken for a little while. It's fixed now and displays everything you mentioned in the above quote.

Thanks for letting me know this isn't a Discourse flaw Smile. Is it possible to include hours and not just days? I've never really liked the "x days ago" way of looking at time, as opposed to an actual time, but I suppose that's the new trend.
