There seems to be some kind of problem with the threads. For instance in the COD section, it shows a new post in the seeding thread, but when I click on the COD forum, I can't find any thread on the list.

The same thing happened with the Help Section, I couldn't see the "Forums Link is Goofy" thread that Naz had made.


Edit: Holy ****, I just figured it out. The Forum is listing the threads in alphabetical order...

No, you've obviously only half figured it out!

Which is causing the newest thread is placed where it would be in aphabetical order, and therefor not show up on the first page.

And Wrigs/Anyone who isn't having the problem, here is a video I made to show what is happeneing: http://media.putfile.com/ProblemFilm1

This is obviously not any type of permanent fix. Perhaps something happened to the forum settings while merging a bunch of them.

From vBulletin.com:

Default Thread Sorting Option per Forum
You may now choose how threads will be sorted on a per forum basis. Options include the field and direction to sort using.

All fixed. I'd say 80% of the forum sections were sorted by title by default--not sure why--but they are all on 'last post time' now.

That's great. But it's sorted ascending. So the newest pages are on the last page... =/

I can try to set my defaults to "descending by latest post". I thought I was the only one having problems. Glad to know I'm not crazy..... well, about this anyway.

The alcohol or that the threads are screwed up, either way..not enough booze is my problem.

You guys don't just use the "new posts" feature?

Well that settles it. If Nv's hax can't auto sort the forums then there is a problem.

Oh and Dave is a bot
