Thanks,

I know you're working on that already and I know we all appreciate the hard work you have done. It's just so much easier to determine what's a new post, what posts have been made since last time I checked, and find my own posts by simply going down the list of posts in time/date order.

This is even more important than a threaded veiw.

Paul,

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. Being logged in, the new posts and threads with new posts have the orange icon next to the thread alerting me that there are new posts to check out.

With your suggestion, a post made to an old thread would not be sent to the top. And someone would have to dig for that post. If there is new, useful information to a thread, it should be at the top of the queue. I don't see a lot of post bumping on these boards.

As for the threaded veiw: the board's owner and mmccurdy have bent over assbackwards in the dark to please the loudest and whinest of members. I've never seen someone take a PHPBB and make it into aynthing other than a PHPBB.

By logging on, and utilizing the orange icons. I can identify new posts very quickly. find recent replies, read them or mark them read, and move on. I think everything is moving quite smoothly. Thanks to all involved it its development. _________________ Steve 1974 Inka 1802 Touring, New Daily Driver 1976 Inka 2002 Original Owner My Roundies are bigger than yours

Same here. The old method of leaving only most recent at the top was very annoying. Too many duplicate topics would result. I like the feature of in order by reply/latest post. _________________ -Justin -- '74 tii '76 02 '97 m3 http://www.bmw2002.net

Thanks for your feedback... your opinions are shared by many people, but people feel very strongly on both sides of the issue (thread "bumping" vs. strict date ordering). The goal is to have this become a preference that's settable in your profile, with the default being the old style (time ordered by when the thread was started).

I have been very busy with work and other projects over the past week, so I haven't had much time to dedicate to the FAQ. I'm going to try to get this in this weekend. Thanks for your patience.
