I took a year off from the board and returned last month, and I’m struck by how long threads will remain on the first page of the forum list.  
I recall, and correct me if I’m wrong, that the bottom thread a year ago would have been about four or six hours old. And now there are month-old threads down there.

Is it my imagination playing tricks? Or is GQ less popular now than then.

Right now, the bottom thread on the first page of GQ – with my settings – is [thread=400842]Beer profit margin[/thread], with the last post this morning at 8:50 EST. Five hours ago basically. I’d be very surprised if you had month-old threads there, unless your settings say to show all threads on the same page.

Jeepers. False alarm

I realize now what I musta did. I must have hit the Last Post icon by mistake and got the whole table in reverse order.

Thanks for checking
