I think he meant that to see who posted last and when, something I personally would like a return of, so you have an idea if a post has been updated lately without having to go into it.
I guess the thinking is that the notifications tab now takes care of seeing if a threads been updated..which is pretty helpful (though I have to check if there's a way to unsub from notifications from some super popular threads). But yeah, I agree with the others in that seeing the last posters name, rather than the thread creator, made for quick skimming the various subforums.. maybe it's not needed anymore though.

Considering that it has been requested many times before I'm pretty sure it is in fact needed. The 'LAST' button is neither more intuitive nor more functional.
Changing or removing standard features won't turn such oldschool invention like forums into a legit mobile app thing. So why not stick to classic approach which is has worked just fine for the past 2 decades or so.

If you're logged in it will tell you on the left that there's X New Posts.
I commented on this in the suggestions thread, I like the new functionality but the pages seem to be designed around the assumption that everyone would always be logged in. The site design isn't very communicative to guests and people who are logged out.
Yeah, it will tell you that there is X new posts, IF you have read it before, and you have no idea as you said, if you are not logged in for example, when the last post was done.
