G'day All, Just to be absolutely clear, this is about "Tidings". The first paragraph of that node begins with: "Your site maintainers are constantly improving the appearance and functions of PerlMonks to make your experience here the best it can be. To find out what has changed recently, or since the last time you logged in, peruse the headlines below." Unfortunately, while "constantly improving the appearance and functions of PerlMonks" is certainly true, reporting such via Tidings is not. I make a point of checking this node every time I log in (that probably averages more than once a day). I rarely see any updates; the last was 16-Jul-21. I don't wish to single out any particular changes, but it seems many occur without notification in this node. Purely for example, the recent "User Profile Element: CPAN author ID" would seem like a prime example to be notified in Tidings. I've been a registered user for well over a decade; as such, I'm familiar with some for the foibles of this site. For newer users, or less frequent visitors, this may appear as stagnation. Let's avoid that by either using Tidings regularly or retiring it to the monastic archives. Discussion appreciated. — Ken
