I too prefer seeing threads sorted by date. Computers are good at sorting.
The server can do it better and faster than my eyes & brain can scan the page.
Let the computer do the work.
If I want to find a particular project thread, I'll use the Search function.
It's easy enough to click Search and type "X0", "Cowclops" or whatever.
[I do wish the Search function worked on article contents as well as titles....]
And why do threads need to have the word "Thread" in the title ? Isn't it redundant ?
If it doesn't have the word "Thread" in the title, then it's not a thread ?
Does it serve any purpose, other than cluttering the page ?
******* The "I've got more asterisks than you in the title of my thread" Thread *******
I'm not advocating an asterisk race, but what purpose do they serve if everybody uses precisely three ?
We've got detente with three asterisks each. Cut it to zero. Less is more.
Edit:
The search function doesn't work so well if one types "XO" instead of "X0"
as I had done earlier in my post.
