What about having the sort by last post as the default setting on the forums, rather than creation date? A lot of people don't alter their settings and posts get "recreated" a few days later simply to keep them active. This is not very efficient. I can't see a problem in changing the default on the site. Our YC forum works this way all the time and new users always see the active posts no matter what creation date. Is there a downside? Somebody tell me. Is there general support for this change? Let the administrators know if so. Thanks.
