New Staff Tracker is awful to recognise

This is from the old forum.



and now it's our new thing.

Everything is merged into a single line, and It's really bad to recognise who's talking what in which and when.

If I show an example as tables...

This is our old format:
Thread titleTime / AuthorForum category
Some post amazing!time time
by Cordovan
Suggestion
Wonderful post aaytime time
by Linn
Announcements


Now our new format is:
Cordovan replied to the thread Some post amazing!
something something he wrote something...
Today at some time
Linn posted the thread Wonderful post aay in Announcements.
something something to announce something wonderful...
Today at some time

This is an incredible downgrade.

EDIT:


I also hate the date format.
Why should we know if it was sunday or monday when it's just not today or yesterday? What's the point of saying that? just telling it's said within a weekend? I don't think that's really working because it's not intuitive to know which day it was said.
Let's say "Monday". Can you guess which day it is? You can't, because it's not said as today or yesterday.


I mean, you can guess, actually, but it needs your brain to calculate the exact time. You know it's within 7 days, and you need to compare days. Okay, it's not really intuitive.

I'm not a fan of the Staff Tracker either.

It's hard to know what to click on sometimes, because the links aren't colored or underlined compared to regular text, and sometimes clicking the last word will bring you to a post and sometimes it brings you to a subforum. Everything is just monotone and it all runs together in a super ugly way.

Would prefer if new threads were ordered/formatted like:
Linn posted in Announcements the new thread Wonderful post aay.

instead of
Linn posted the thread Wonderful post aay in Announcements.

IMHO, this whole new forum is substandard to the old one, snout to tail.

But, not my circus - not my monkeys.
