Thread order suggestion

**dj_stick** · Jul 22, 2004, 03:39 AM

Would it be possible to add an option to sort threads by order of the first post date? this would be really useful in the news forum, where older news can still be kept at the top of the list with constant posting

if the forum was ordered in such a way (by option, or default depending on feedback) the newest news posts will be at the top of the list

please don't mention that the news is on the front page (i know that) but it could also be useful in other forums

AFAIK that needs a forum hack which we don't really like doing.

Something for us to think about when we upgrade the server forum software

A server forum software upgrade would be sweet. The downtime will be well worth it.. Unless it takes like a month to do, then some of us may just perish

PhpBB is a massive step down from VB. any changes wil be made to a better package or version

btw your sig has been broken for a week now.

Invision Power Board is only free board comparable to VB. phpBB doesn't come close to that. Still, it's admin's choice what to use, not ours...
