Forum Threads / Topics Out Of Order?

I'm almost embarrassed to ask because I'm thinking that I'm just missing a simple setting or 'sort' button somewhere, but I can't find it.

Is it just me, or is this forum not sorting threads / topics by date correctly?

Usually the the topic w/ the most recent response gets moved to the top of the forum, but that's not happening here (at least not in the PD version 6 and above section).

When I go to page 2, things seem to get out of whack. I see posts w/ a last message timestamp of 7/19/08 ahead of posts w/ last messages from 7/22/08. Even stranger is that a post that is on page 1 also shows up on page 2 - checking the link of both - they go to the same exact post:

http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/3465.page

Also - this thread, which I assumed is (or should be) a sticky:

http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/2405.page

Doesn't show up as a sticky....

Soooooooo - is it just me, or is the forum acting up?

I thought I was crazy. Regards,

Marc,
Unlike other more boring forums, this one occaisionally has a visit from the forum fairy who has been known to steal people's posts. I don't think its anything personal and sometimes he (or she) puts them back later. But, of course, it might just be me (or in this case you)

OK - I replied to a post the other day and when I came back to follow-up, I couldn't find it w/o using search. Then as I started digging in and reading other topics I started noticing the dates...

I thought I was losing it!!

Thanks

Hi all the above.....

I moderate on the forum which means I tend to clip the wings of a few or do something that entails some sort of moderating (moving a post is the most frequent task). When I do that the date order of postings reverts to the original date order. For example: If someone has dug up an old topic and added to it...that topic will go back to it's original posting date.

Now as to page 2 issue... yep we are all aware of that... issue... and we all have to live with it.

Use the Recent Topic link to find posts can be helpful.

Please note I only zap posts on those that don't or haven't conformed to the terms of this forum. Thankfully only a few don't.

Adrian.... actually it's a Dragon that visits.....
