    Default Thread sorting

    Lately, whenever I visit this site , the threads are sorted by "Thread Title" . It used to sort by "Last Post Time" , "Descending Order". I can't figure out how to make the threads sorted by "last post time", the default setting and it always reverts back to "thread title".

    Ideas?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    I had that problem for about two weeks as well, I tried everything to fix it, but when I went away from the site and then came back later, it was all screwed up again. It just recently fix itself....not sure why??

    Default Re: Thread sorting

    I use the "New Post" button on the upper header bar every time I visit. That gives me all the new post since my last visit in chronological order.

    For good measure I also do a "Mark Forums Read" just before leaving the website. I always find the "New Posts" works for me.

    Default Re: Thread sorting

    Having managed forums before, its a setting in the Admin panel an administrator should be able to set up as the default sorting for threads.

    Without it, its really annoying to have to resort the page every time you switch to a new forum subsection.

    Actually, you can set up your own default sorting. You don't need the admin to do it.

    I would like to think I am somewhat technically savvy but no settings I have been able to find seem to do the trick.

    You probably inadvertently changed the sort order. The column headings are in fact links, you will want to click the "last post by" (make sure the arrow points down) to change it to that order. It should stay that way for you until you change it again.

    Well, I probably did inadvertently change something but the sort order still reverts back to thread title instead of last post date. No worries, just takes a couple of extra clicks to sort to my preference.
