Topics are obviously (?) sorted here by first entry. New entries to threads started just a few days ago will thus never make it to page one. My comments this morning about a broken Vito 7212 never got beyond the middle of page 2 and are about to drop to page 3.
Is there a way to identify recent replies? Does anyone do this? Is it considered good form to start new threads just to get good placement?
Thanks,
Andy

Hit "older replies" and look for "new". That's what I do.

No. Once in a great while it makes sense. Otherwise we'll get into the scenario of "the thread that never dies". Most BBoards don't have close to the activity of this one, which makes it somewhat problematical because of the speed of drop-off. I go 4 or 5 pages deep all the time to look at what's going on.

Thanks, Mark. It would be nice to have a button which would show all threads with "new" appends, or to have the ability to sort descending by latest posting, but I can see how you'd want the default to be as it is so that "old" threads actually can die.
If this site wasn't so useful, perhaps "old" wouldn't be so new.

I really like it that the topics stay available this way because sometimes I can't get to the computer for a few days at a time. Great forum and thank you for the hard work on it, Mark Charette.
