Red Tracker Feedback

Would it be possible to get a 'condensed' layout/version of the red tracker? Not to say there's anything wrong with having the current one, but for how I tended to use it on the old forums, a second layout option for it might be better (option being the key word- the current setup certainly has some benefits!).

To explain:

I tend to use the red tracker in the official forums as a way of keeping track of what news Riot is giving out about updates/champ analysis/design discussions/etc. Generally I just vaguely remember either the last topic that was being discussed when I last checked or the last day/time I checked, and look to see what topics look interesting after that point.

It's fairly easy to do on the old forum's red tracker, as everything is condensed down to (amongst a few other things) the thread name, the time of the post, what forum it was posted in, and who it was posted by. After finding what posts I was interested in (by checking the topic to see if its relevant to my interests/checking the time to see if it was a response since the last time I checked), I just opened those links in a separate tab then read through the red responses/the context around them.

With this red tracker ( http://community.na.leagueoflegends.com/redtracker?show=all ) it's a bit harder to browse through in a similar fashion; with the entirety of the red post on the tracker page itself, there's a lot more to parse through to find that info and find where you left off.

This is just a minor complaint, as all that info is still there, it just takes a little longer to mentally parse through it without the nice, dense, summarized rows. And while it's kind of nice to have the red post itself on the tracker page, I tend to click through regardless to see the context of the discussion.

On a side note, I was about to ask if there were any ideas for a 'next riot post' equivalent for this site, then I saw the little 'Rioter Comments' side box!

Thanks for the feedback Windhorn! I agree there's a lot we can do to enhance the Red Tracker. A condensed view is an interesting idea. I appreciate your detailed description of how you use the forum dev tracker. Very helpful, thanks.

If you're looking for red comments on a very specific topic, you may want to try a search (such as a specific champion) and see if that serves your needs. You can also bookmark specific Rioter profile pages, if you like to follow their comments.

I'm nitpicking here, but it would be nice to have the topic listed before the Rioter, and have the topic and Rioter in bigger font. It would be easier to see what you are looking for. Like I said, though, nitpicking.
