Now I know some already know about this, but I've just started using it and it works a treat.

Go towards the top of the page to the heading "Switch Sort Options" and click on "Response Time". This will then sort threads in order of when there was last a response to them. That is, the thread with the most recent input will automatically go to the top. So if there has been a thread that you had some interest in that has had a new contribution, it will pop up again, rather than having to go looking for it to see if anything has happened there.

With the popularity of this forum a thread disappears to page 2 or 3 in days, never to be seen again. Would also help with frequently asked questions eg fridges. Such a thread would keep dragging itself up, thus resulting in less posts on the same subject.

David, I reckon this should be the default setting as it is more practical. Another forum I use is set up this way and I have always found it easier to use. It would probably reduce the number of posts and thus save you dough. Just my opinion.

Cheers,

Jim.
