Forum Display Options

[Terry Hanushek]

Admins

I have noticed since the major site changes were implemented a couple of weeks ago that the display order of threads in a forum have become inconsistent. Of particular concern are the forums in IT Forums category which now have a default display order of Thread Name Ascending. The Regional forums are have a display order of Last Post Time Descending. I believe that all forums used Last Post Time Descending prior to the changes; this is the normal default that I see in most vBulletin forums.

In order to change the defaults in the Admin CP, go to Forums & Moderators > Forum Manager > forum name. In the first section there are options for Default Sort Field and Default Sort Order.

TIA

it appears somehow every forum was changed. No idea how that happened.
I wasn't seeing the problem as I had over road the defaults in some forums.

I actually noticed this some time ago, and thought I was just something with my user settings. It would only show up if you went to a forum from the main page, but since I almost always use the "New Posts" option it didn't really bother me. I probably should have said something.
