I recognize the advantages of the format of this forum and I like a couple features from another which I frequent.
Under each thread’s title I’d like to see the name if the person who started the thread and also the date of the last response.
On this other forum, I find I like knowing the originator of the thread as there are some members whose comments I particularly admire so wish to follow them.
The date of the last post tells me if I want to catch up with an older discussion.
Where these items are placed is key.
