This. A lot. I look at thread titles, but am far more likely to click based on who posted there last. I’d far rather see who posted last instead of “3 unread” or whatever.

I don’t see why. Clearly once I have missed three posts, I may have missed something that someone I care about posted. True, “1 unread” means I’m just gonna hover. Any other number is more useful to me than the last poster’s name.

EDIT: On further review, I see.

The minute since last post is very uninformative. Why do I care?
