Many of the forums on Democratic Underground move so quickly that it's virtually impossible to figure out which threads are new and which are old threads that were "kicked" by a recent reply. By default, the discussion threads inside a particular forum have always been sorted based on the time of their last reply, and there was no way to sort them based on the time the threads were started.
You now have the ability to sort any discussion thread either by
Start time or by
Last reply. Look closely at the top of every forum, in the black header row. At the top of the time column, there are now two links, which look like this:
Start time | Last reply
If you click the "Start time" link, then the threads will all be sorted by the time the thread was started. If you click "Last reply" then all the threads will return to their default sort, by time of the last reply.
The sort by Start time feature will be especially useful in forums like our popular
Latest Breaking News forum or the new
Video Forum so you can easily find the newest threads. Go ahead and give it a try.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in this thread.
