add dates to /profile/* - Most recent activity - * added: (MM,DD YYYY)

Hi!

This would give some indications if the catalog / the account might be orphaned or not. It would save time opening the catalog where time stamps are available.

Thanks for such a feature!

>2 brightcopy: I normally have a lot of windows and tabs open (around eighty in total). The connection might be lousy. I mentioned "It would save time opening the catalog where time stamps are available.".

If someone wants to see if an account is orphaned, 2 clicks more won't be such a big deal.
Adding dates like that on the profile page is almost as bad as adding a "Last login date".

So what is the case when you are in such a hurry to see if an account is orphaned that you cannot check the catalog?

And who says it's "orphaned"? Because someone hasn't added a book lately doesn't mean that they aren't using the catalog (or the site).

What business is it of yours, anyway? (Sorry if that sounds rude, but I honestly don't see why dates should be added to my profile to satisfy your curiosity.)

>5 lilithcat: I have seen many profiles created in 2006. Some catalogs show only one or some dozens of books. I would say these users went away.
Today I looked at peolple from Iceland sharing my books. It was a page of an LT author using that strange Facebook link with an included email addresses. This might have been a valid url in 2009 so we should not blame users they have never ever checked if that hat links worked.
Maybe it makes more sense to show onlly last book added MM-DD YYYY if no book was added during one year. BTW. You can not see catalogs from private users. You may klick as many time you want.

So you want to see when a Private catalog was last changed? There is a reason this is a private catalog... the fact that you are curious is not a reason for their privacy to be violated.

>7 AnnieMod: Privacy is privacy. It seems that you like to chat. BTW: Users with private "''catalogs'" can still message them self. You may post a non private message and you will see this from any account.
I try to reactivate some dozens of people to build some language communities. "The curious people" will find theri information anyway. They do not need to discuss this in public.

Your subjects would be much clearer if you used the names for things, rather than the URL specifications. I've noticed you do this a lot, which can be confusing because some of your posts are actually about the URLs, so it's sometimes hard to tell at a glance whether the URLs are important or not. I realize that the profile isn't called "profile" in all languages, while the URL is the same, which is probably your motivation, but since you're posting in English on an English-language group you can and should just say

"Add most recent activity dates to profile"

rather than what you did, and specify in the text of the message exactly what you mean. 99% of the time saying "Profile" or "Home" or "Add Books" will be far clearer than saying "/profile/*" or so forth, without any potential ambiguity. It's not a major thing, but some people may skip posts when the subject line is full of URL syntax details.

>9 lorax: "Add most recent activity dates to profile"
Thanks lorax for the suggestion. I would be easier to understand if the title is "Add most recent activity dates to profile (/profile/*)" .
BTW: While sorting my bookmarks I noticed today that there are urls which are using localized parts. This is known from MediaWiki where for exmple "special:Recentchanges" is used beside Italian "Speciale:UltimeModifiche".
But it might be a LT se%curi*ty hol$e as the LT localized urls can be changed without being notified by LT users /stuff. I will contact LT stuff via private messaging first providing examples.
