Its next to impossible to find the most recent threads on a given sub forum because the sort just doesn't work correctly. Is it the website or is it my browser that's messed up? I've noticed this changes ordering at random times For example, here is the first page of data taken from the "Number Crunching" sub forum sorted by newest first: 1 hour ago 3 hours ago 2 days ago 15 days ago 20 days ago 27 days ago 16 Dec 2019 9 Dec 2019 22 Mar 2019 53 minutes ago 3 hours ago 4 hours ago 5 hours ago 10 hours ago 11 hours ago 11 hours ago 17 hours ago 18 hours ago 1 day ago 1 day ago 1 day ago ID: 2028503 ·  |

The upper group are 'sticky' threads, permanently kept in view because they're thought to be of enduring interest. The lower group will eventually fall off the front page. Each group is sorted, individually, into order of 'most recent post'. ID: 2028504 · |

In your account Community preferences, under "Message display" down the bottom there you can select "Don't move sticky posts to top" to make them un-sticky. Grant Darwin NT ID: 2028622 · |
