In some of the Forums the items are shown in backwards date order - latest at the top, earliest at the bottom - but when I look at the Forum - ISPs and, in particular, this Forum, the items are shown in a jumbled date order. Why does this happen?
Click on User Options (it's under Welcome thyde9337 near the top of the page). Click on Display Preferences. Scroll down to "Sort threads by" and select "last post date", then click on Submit.
