Ok I just reloaded the thread page to see if replies bump a post to the top. It doesn't. Get rid of this forum it's a piece of crap. Sorry to be brutal, but active - meaning replied to - threads SHOULD be at the top. That's BASIC functionality of a forum, especially a busy one, where many people post and threads can roll off the front page in a matter of minutes. That's the single most important thing in a forum - to have the active posts first so a user doesn't have to go through 5 gazillion pages to get to the one they want. It would SPEED THINGS UP for crying out loud and it would dramatically reduce the load on your server. Never mind. I'll be coming in even less now, and only if I really can't find an answer elsewhere.
