this is my view in the "Day" tab. the blue time bar has disappeared. the one that advances with the current time. 

In the week view, the blue line is there but it extends across previous days but not to the current one or future dates. 

anyone know how to fix this?

    Some have a problem with the line going "into the past", which I personally am not against. It helps to see what the time is along the vertical axis.

    That said, I would prefer in the current date to see an arrow on both sides pointing inwards with a line between the two. Ideally, this line would not be drawn using pixel size because of the high resolution on many monitors vs low resolution. 1 mm thick is likely thick enough... maybe 0.5 mm.

    I also found this thread looking for a way to alter the appearance as I also find the node difficult to see and track.

    Another user slightly annoyed that the timeline indicator is on the wrong day!

    As most of the other users have commented on, it doesn’t show up on Mondays tasks, and is a day behind for the rest of the week.

    Dear MS don’t insult our intelligence, this is NOT a feature, it’s a bug that you have not bothered to fix, that is showing data that is 24hrs out of date, its not a retrospective bar, its meant to show current status?

    Its now the end of October and there is still no fix or answer to this?

    just shows how much you think of your customers!

    Hard to believe this is intentional as it is the opposite of intuitive. I never chime in on these issues but this simple issue is obviously a bug that needs a estimated fix date. Irritating to look at it everyday.

    I would like to add my voice, that this is a terrible design, if intentional. I also think it's a bug though, so would love to see it corrected.
