In the profile, it shows the date and time of the user’s last post. It used to show a link to the user’s last post.
When did that go away?
Yeah, you’re right.
They must be doing minor touch-ups.
Someone mentioned that the drop-down jump list was reworded.
Probably to make one less thing for the computer to do, as a conservation measure.
I don’t know if you realized it, but that would get out of sync anyway, one of many delayed-reaction things in the system.
I said this somewhere else, but just in case you didn’t see it the first time:
At least some of the slowdowns we’ve been having are traceable to some sort of glitch in the “show last post” function.
While the techs try to find the problem, they have turned that function off.
As soon as they’re able to restore that function without crippling the board, they will do so.
Sorry for your inconvenience.

I just tried your profile both ways, by name and by number, and the link is there.
The Search list shows a link by name

The Post itself shows a link by number

Yeah, I noticed. It shows up for Users (like yours truly) who posted since they put it back. Users that haven’t posted since they changed it back still show time and date of last post, but no link.
Thanks.
