Yeah I noticed the tooltip… That one funnily enough doesn’t have the post count either, but it shows a brief list of badges people have… and the “Basic” badge takes up the first spot for everyone.
By the posts I mean that before, in the category list the right-most column showed what the last active topic in that category was, who posted there as well as the time stamp. It was a very convenient way for me to see what’s new in a category, especially stuff like the announcements. The “new posts” section just lumps all categories together.
Overall I just think we should at least have the option to trade some of the web 2.0 blank space for information. I’m not sure how much Discourse allows for that but it would help it along greatly.
In other feedback - the theme keeps reverting to dark mode even though I switched it to light.
