Does it consistently happen to you? Does it only happen with certain threads or with every thread? Is this happening to anyone else?

I miss the "Bookmarks" and "Wiki Edits" from the left column on each post... Those I used quite often when just casually browsing (not on an answering mission :P ).

What happened to the "0 replies" that was specific to the forum you were in? That's what I miss the most. Both 0 reply things I find at the moment return threads for the entire forum structure. I liked being able to go into the *BSD area (where I'm most likely going to be able to help) and just having one quick link to show all the zero reply threads under that area.

I know you can do this from the search window... but frequently I forget to change something and need to go back. It just makes the whole process so much more involved.

It's a stupid thing... I know. But I'm lazy at times and just don't want to bother going through a search screen for that.

It's under "Forum Tools" in the header of each forum.

Edit: Apparently, I was incorrect. Just went to verify and it's, in fact, not there...

I would be delighted to find I had just missed it when I looked. But I looked almost everywhere. If it does still exist, and someone could tell me where it is, that would be great.

scuzzman, Just click on a members username in any post and this info is still there.
frob23, You can add any arbitrary forumid to the 0 reply search. Adding a link to forum tools may not be a bad idea though.

I'd like to mention that I also miss the "0 replies thread" on the welcome screen. Often times I jump online for a quick second and just like to see if there is someone I could help out real quick. I used to get an email with "0 replies" but I don't seem to get that anymore.

The "0 Reply" link is now on *every* page of the site, under quick links (and in the nav). The 0 reply email will be coming back in the future, in a modified format.

I really miss the 10 Latest Posts or whatever on the old home page.
And I miss the 0 Reply email.

The home page info was just an HTML display of the RSS feed, so the info is all still there. The 0 reply email is coming back ASAP, with some added functionality.

So the RSS Feed is so different because it's just not updated as quickly as before? Because I'm now running that RSS Feed and it isn't at all like what was formerly on the home page. Before, those threads always had no replies ... except maybe at times when the new posts were very, very slow. Now, most of the RSS Feed threads have replies, even immediately after reloading the live bookmark.

You might have too great a server load to keep them running just as before on the home page, but from reading the amount of posts, this issues seems to have caused a good number of LQers to be posting less.

Perhaps it's an issue of convenience for users versus ability of the server...

Not to whine or nag, but when will 0 reply return? And, more importantly, where will its return be announced? An e-mail to the old subscribers would be really nice.
