I understand what you are saying now Christine.

May I make a small request to you and your technicians?

If you were to change the ordering of the 'Latest Threads' and 'Latest Posts'
so that they were ordered from the time/date of the *last poster* rather than when the 
thread was started, we both would be in a winning position.

Here's why. In general, most people reply to the latest threads, rather than
old ones; that's why the way they are currently sorted works **most of the time**.

BUT... from time to time people read older threads and reply to them.
When this happens, with the way you currently have the threads sorted,
members could easily miss the latest reply, as they could turn up on 
page two or page three or four of the list (pages that they wouldn't normally look at).

By ordering the posts/threads dates by *last poster*  you capture BOTH:
- the most current threads
- older threads that might otherwise 'get lost'.

I hope you will consider this request. This method of sorting is the one most 
commonly used on the internet.
