Saskatoon TechWorks Forum

is the lack of newest->oldest -by-post sorting in the forum index an account level setting, or something server-side? If the former, any way to force it to newest->oldest, and if the latter ; the same goes?

It's really disconcerting to reply to an older post, and still see it reside where I saw it to begin with. Not to mention how much it messes with the mind in regards to last-read functionality.

(kind of embarassing to ask, as I've been a forum junky for more than a decade ; but I've also not used or administered phpBB for almost as long)

I'm looking into this now, thanks for bringing it up. I don't remember ever seeing forums that go newest to oldest, but it WOULD be nice

... really?

Every forum I've ever used always showed the most recent-posted-thread at the top of the forum, aka; most recently replied thread at the top of the index per forum. Reply to an old thread, it gets bumped up to the top - kind of thing.

From what I've seen, topics will go from newest to oldest, but not posts... and I *THINK* this forum does that (note that the 2 at the very top are stickied)

ahhh, combination of phpbb and the current the theme made me not realize that the top couple of threads were stickied. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries, the inventory post probably doesnt need to be stickied anyway so I'll unsticky it

I'd also recommend at least a different icon-set, if not going for a different theme for phpbb altogether. While the icons for stickied / normal are pretty distinct, in the context of everything else going on in the theme, they tend to blend into one-another. (it may very well be the default theme for all I know, as I said - it's been many many years since I had anything to do with phpbb).

ps - I apparently confused matters over the past few days, with a poor grammatical choice in my post far above. I've edited it to reflect something a little more applicable, but I wanted to note that I'd done so - due to lack of history transparency.
