Done. I have added the date of the last post to the Favourites page.Thanks! Looks great! I was thinking in a broader context, i.e. lists of boards in general. For reference:
https://web.archive.org/web/20220816160434/https:/...I find this information to be an unobtrusive way to let one get an overview that works just as well for anyone visiting the site. Especially when you're faced with lists of hundreds of company related boards. If it says 0 for example, you can make an informed decision whether you want to visit that board. It saves time, and discoverability encourages authors to also write in smaller less active boards.
Time and date indirectly give you that 'x new posts' without coaching you into mindless consumption. Even more so if you change sorting condition. It does away with all the stress.
We want to keep the ratio of writing (real, not brief comments) content to consuming content much, much higher than everywhere else. The mechanisms to achieve that are subtle.Sounds great. I'm thinking of writing a post about some thoughts regarding the 'Shrewdness' mechanism, but doing so would further reduce my 'Shrewdness'. :) In short, and just an idea: perhaps using for example a top percentile could strike a balance between encouraging 'real' writing and not discouraging e.g. helpful comments or interesting discussions? A post like this one for example arguably doesn't belong in a list of 'best of', even if it's thought out and took some time to write. Yet, I think or would like to think, that it adds value.
