The default behavior of the topic listings is now chronological by when the thread was started as opposed to when the last reply was written.
This mimics the behavior of the old forum.
If you like the thread "bumping" behavior (when a new reply is added, the thread is moved to the top of the list), you may enable it in your profile.
To do so, log in and click on the "Profile" link at the bottom of the forum, find the option called "Topic Sorting (Thread Bumping)" and select "Last Reply Date (Bumping ON)."
We've implemented this option since people feel very strongly on both sides of the issue. The default was chosen because it mimics the old site. We appreciate everyone's continued feedback, and as always feel free to leave comments and/or questions in the Site Suggestions forum. Thanks!

Thanks for trying to meet the preferences of far too many forum members.
I really appreciate your trying to improve the format of the forum while trying to retain the better features of the old one. _________________ '73 2002 "Gretta"
