Hi all,
This seems to be a new feature on the SAAC forum. It appears a thread is listed every time there is a comment. It pushes other recent threads off the recent thread list. See attached image for example. The one topic is listed five times, original post plus four replies. I did like when a thread had a reply it would move to top of recent thread list. Thoughts?

This was mentioned elsewhere, but I agree and would like to have it back the way it was.
Another problem with it now is that I lose track of previous threads when they get quickly buried by new replies.
Can we have a vote on going back to the old method?
I'll 3rd that thought ;-)
It looks like it requires an optional module to be installed.

I 4th that thought. One person could make 15 reply's to the same post and knock every other post off the list. I like seeing 15 different Topics.
I already voted against it. The moderator here uses his own preferences. It makes it look like there is more activity going on here then there really is.
Now this topic doesn't seem to be appearing in the "Recent Posts" section! ?

Nothing from "The Lounge" ever appears in the "Recent Posts" section.
I just use the "Unread Posts" button at the top of the page and go through them one by one, so the "Recent Posts" list on the main page is not a concern to how I use the forum. I find that using the "Unread Posts" button, I am able to keep up with all new posts since I last visited the site. If I don't finish reading them all, I just leave the page open and come back to it later, but I am using my desktop computer....I'm not sure how others use it on tablets or cell phones.
The "Recent Posts" has always been only a small sample of what is recent and not everything recent in a day or two is listed because it cannot fit them all at times. I find all recent posts in the "Unread Posts" button regardless of how long it has been since I last looked at the forum. It could be several days until I get back to the forum, but using the "Unread Posts" button I am able to catch up on everything posted in that time frame since I last visited.

This is what I've always done with a lot of forums. After I read "recent Posts", I then click the "mark all posts read". That way my next visit on clicking "recent posts", the posts I've already seen, don't show up, unless they have a new post.
