See where it jumps 7 months forward from December 30, 2020 to today here:

> [@Cleveland Indians considering a name change \[Edit: It's "Guardians"\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cleveland-indians-considering-a-name-change-edit-its-guardians/914323/206):
>
> [Rumors are they have chosen a name and are not announcing it yet.](https://www.cleveland.com/tribe/2021/07/cleveland-indians-have-picked-a-new-name-but-arent-quite-ready-to-announce-it.html)

Then jumps back to December 13, 2020 here:

> [@Cleveland Indians considering a name change \[Edit: It's "Guardians"\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cleveland-indians-considering-a-name-change-edit-its-guardians/914323/254):
>
> Ideas/guesses as to the new name?

Then back to today again here:

> [@Cleveland Indians considering a name change \[Edit: It's "Guardians"\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cleveland-indians-considering-a-name-change-edit-its-guardians/914323/296):
>
> It’s official: Welcome to the Cleveland Guardians!

It’s all kinds of crazy, at least on my browser. I’m wondering if there is a way to fix it from the client side (via preferences maybe) or if the thread is just permanently screwed up.

If the thread **isn’t** out of order for you, then maybe there is a way to do it in preferences and I haven’t done that.
