Parts wanted forum issue

xdc351 · 01-09-2008, 09:52 PM

Hi guys,

Just noticed today that the dates in the 'parts wanted' forum appear to sort incorrectly. Posts when sorted by date order are in a random order (I tried sorting by oldest first, then back to newest first - no different). I have my prefrences set to show newest first and it works correctly in every other forum.

I've attached a screen shot.

Windows Vista SP1 (I know, POS, but I have to run it!)
IE7

Cheers,
Greg

i think the order they are in is the order they were posted.
the newest posted THREAD is at the top.
if you make a post in the 8th thread for exaple, that wont bring it to the top, but it will say that the last post made in that thread was today.
the other 7 threads above it will still be above it but they will say the last post made was yesterday or whenever the last post was actually made.
hope this makes sense.

I don't understand why that would be the only forum that doesn't order by most recent post, even when you TRY and order by most recent post!

That is the way the entire for sale area works. It is to stop people from constantly bumping their thread to the top.

Thanks for the reply Russell, I hadn't seen that.
