Um...has the "show" feature in the Red Tracker always been there?

Either the mods secretly snuck in an AWESOME feature, or, i am horribly behind the times.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can go to the Red Tracker, and click on the little, gold "show" button next to a Rioter's name. Their comment, including the comment they replied to, then drops down. You can then hide them again by clicking the "hide" button in the same location.

I completely found this by accident, when I didn't fully click on the title of the thread where the comment is. Oh yeah, thats another thing. You don't have to click the "show" button. You can just hit the middle of the "bar" of the comment, and it will drop down.

Seriously wish I knew about this earlier, and if it's been there all of the time, well........I'm just a little embarrassed.

I don't know about specifically the word "show," but the ability to click the mass of blue to expand it has been there for some time (at least a year).

...I'm debating whether to claim it's all Wuks' doing to get him some extra praise and saving you the embarrassment, or acknowledging the truth that the feature has been around for as long as I can remember. The show button in particular may be new (I can't remember), but you could always click on the section background to reveal that particular post in the same way. :)

Alas, it wasn't my doing :o

The "Show" button on Red Tracker items has pretty much always been around, so I can't take the credit for that. With the recent changes in Help & Support, there's not really a need to invest further resources into improving Red Tracker at this time. We are, however, looking into and implementing changes that affect the Boards as a whole, so keep an eye out for things that we've rolled out so far like the design and user experience changes; as well as proposed changes such as more prominent Summoner Icons as part of user identification on posts and a better reporting system.

Don't be embarrassed, though! Things are changing all the time, so it's understandable that it may be difficult to follow what's new and what isn't :)
