Well I've answered my own question. I got my LEXX box and posted the excellent pulls......and it is buried deep on Page 3

I think I liked the old way better.

Hi All:

Hmmm...Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of flexibility here. I've done a good bit of discussion this week with Infopop and it's really an "either or" situation. Either we go back to sorting the box breakdowns by last post date, as we had them, or we leave it as it is.

I beleive there is a third option and that would be to sort them by when they were originally posted but I don't think that would be very helpful to us for our purposes.

It's unfortunate as I sort of feel like there is a divide here on this. Some of you wanted it the way we have it now. And now some of you are saying you don't want it this way. So I think I will post a poll and go with whatever wins. Please vote in that to state your preference, ok?

And now I will answer some of the questions you've posted recently.

Is there a way that you can set it up to sort the most recent posts by clicking on post date. I like reading the new breakdowns and its a pain to sort through all 5 pages to see what the most recent ones are

OK, I am not exactly sure what you meant by that Mike but maybe some of what I posted above or will post below answers it.

Um, not that Infopop gives us. I suppose a hack could be worked up but that's beyond my skills, unfortunately.

I thought there might be a way to accomplish this by including direction to this affect in the html statement, but Infopop says no.

The only other way might be to have a differenct page or area that would sort them in the other order but it would not work exactly as everyone is asking for.

I forget

Not really. Sorry.

I don't really like it, but would be happy with a "recent posts first" option.

Isn't that what we had previously?

I like the alphabetical format, but it is frustrating to not see what's recently added to the forum... is there not a way to sort threads by dates?

Again, isn't that what we had before?

Please vote here.

Thanks.
