Wondering if anybody agrees with me that LG's notification system for new contributions to Forum threads would benefit from a small adjustment.
At present, the name in the Author column changes every time a different person posts. My recommendation would be that the "Author" continued permanently to be the original post-er of the thread. The timing of the latest post would still alert us to the presence of a new contribution. Why do we need to know, before we open it, who that contributor is?
[ FOOTNOTE: What started me thinking about this was (naturally) a self-centred consideration. Stepanzo, the highest-ranked LG Morelli player, has just posted quite a substantial set of "Beginner's notes on how to analyse positions". As the author of the game I'm delighted that he's done this, and so I promptly posted a brief word of thanks. But now the thread bears my name, not his, which (a) seems unfair to him, and (b) might discourage any reader allergic to that-Moxham-fellow-apparently-banging-on-about-his-own-game-again. (I might add that I have actually been pm-ed by one LG colleague with a comment that it "would be nice" if I played other games sometimes.) ]
Anyway, irrespective of the particular present circumstances, what do people think? Original post-er to retain ownership of his/her thread...?
