Title. I have now 12 "new" notifications even if I already viewed all of them here. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
I would like to be able to choose if your registered date is public or private in setting
This data is retained for 30 days. After not visiting a particular topic for 30 days, the data about your last visit to it will be deleted.
We've had discussions before about long-lived topics, resurrecting old topics, etc. and the general consensus is that they were good and encouraged. Unfortunately, with the limited 30-day memory for topic read-vs-new comments, resurrected posts become a real pain. The current activity-sorted all-time front page has three topics from 2018, each with over a hundred comments. It'd be nice to read the new activity, but that takes either some tedious Ctrl+F with various terms ("minutes", "days", etc.) to find newish comments or re-reading everything.
I'd like to avoid relying on a third-party extension to handle this (browser and device support, issues with syncing multiple devices, etc.), and I understand the privacy goals. What are people's thoughts on making read-comment memory user-configurable, even if it's just "default 30-days" and "all-time"?
I've found that I prefer to see comments sorted by order posted, rather than having the most upvoted as the first item. I'd rather read through the thread before deciding the relative merits of any post, and find that "most upvoted" often isn't necessarily the most insightful, especially on long discussions.
It's not a huge effort to change the view, but I don't want to encourage my own lazy habit of looking at the first post and saying "good enough".
May I request that a setting for default sort method be added?
