I click on the areas and see nothing there...

...click on My Feedback. It means you have feedback from TER on a problem report or contact us. If it's on Messages click on Messages to get to your PM's. It means you have a PM.  The number means you have that many PM's or that many replies from TER.

and have since the new version went live.  But I can't find any unopened feedback messages, at least on the final few pages of my feedback. I'm not going to look further back than that, as I have nearly 45 pages of feedback here.

... I have a red two next to reviews and a red two next to my feedback. I haven't written a review in three months, and never will again thanks to the insane review policy, and I have not submitted a problem report recently either. Just another resaon why the new version sucks.

Why do some posts have the date and time in red while most posts do not?  Is Joe McCarthy watching from above?

past 48 hours old (those in red). After 72 hours they go back to black. You'll also notice some are bold black some are not. I don't remember which is which but one is less than 48 hours old the other is older than 72 hours. This on the classic TER as the new TER doesn't give specific day, date, and time. It just says x minutes ago, or hours ago, or days ago, etc. .

I thought the man was tracking me, or it was a hint to the Asian ladies that I was a creepy old man.  Warning Buck Rodgers!

I prefer the complete Time Stamp (Posted on: 1/23/2014 2:09:26 PM) over the current shorthand (Yesterday, 4 days ago, 4 years ago ...) because the time stamps are useful in finding a specific thread. I haven't gone searching yet, but I sometimes remember "May or June of '12 because it was just after I got a new car" or "Jan of '10 when I was on injured reserve after a skiing accident."  
.
Somebody give me one reason why they would remove info that is otherwise causing no harm.

...was better and gave my opinion that they needed to use it rather than the "new" minutes, hours, days, etc. their reply was basically it's what everyone else is doing.

Everyone else is using better forum software!

And more sensible and logical descriptors in their databases (whether it's Disney collectibles, comic books, electrical parts or anything else)! (Reviews / Build "a few extra pounds"????? "plus"???? "plus plus"??? How about "plus plus plus"????
