as additional information. at the bootm of the page in any forum when the list of threads is up is a box called display options. It list sorted by "title Thread" order "acending" and Start "begining". which is exactly how the forums thread are started. It appears you have the option fo changing the display with drop down menues but when you change to like sort by "last time posted" order "Decending " and leave start "beginning" and push the show thread buttons. The thread come back up sorted by title, accening order from the beginning and this is what it says in display options. the order is on corrected by clicking on last post. When you do that the display options also change sort by "last post time" order decending and start "begining" if however you press the show threads button then it reverts back to the sorting by title in acending order. It appear that some sort of default is in place in the tread sorting on the forums. When this first occured ony the general forum sorted not following the last post order but when that occured it was in decending order startin with the "Z" as you will see some bosts with z added on this topic to make them show up. know for some reason the order has been chaned to accending but is has not fix the sort by which should be last post date and when that occurs the order should also be decending.
