Prioirity: Something just above "Ignore this forever".

Does anyone know how to permanently save the forum thread sort order?

Most forum sort order is by date of last post for a thread, decending (newest threads first).

The educators forum appears to have a default set of "by title". I can change the setting for a given view period, but if I navagate away from the forum, and come back, even in the same browsing session, it's back to the "by title" sort order.

    Hi John,

    I'm having that same problem in the Educator's Forum as well. I thought it might have been some mysterious cookie. I'll bring it up with Jim when I can.

    Please make sure you pass the priority on to Jim... :D

    As of version 3.8.x, these settings are not stored between excursions into a forum. vBulletin support says that it's certainly try-able with the appropriate code changes.

    All I need is the code. :)

    Perhaps we (meaning Parallax, or you) could just change the default for the educators forum?

    The settings are global. A "one size breaks all" kind of deal. This is the kind of detail I would like to fix as we go along. But we those priorities.
