Forum Update:
When viewing a forum, the site will display threads that have been created or updated in the past week. While this setting is adjustable for each member, the default was entirely too short for some forums. The default time for most forums has been reset to provide up to 20 pages of threads. For some forums, this represents just a few weeks of traffic. This is a full year in some of the less used forums.
Thread Sort Order:
The messages in each forum were initially sorted by subject title. This has been changed to sorting by the last post to each thread in descending order. The net effect of this change is that threads with the most recent activity will bubble up to the top of the thread listing.
