    threads with new comments should be brought to the top i feel..the threads that deserve more posts also sink down,which results in them not being read much..

      i don't think breaking the chronological order is a good idea. however, we could have a new feature (such as "unanswered questions" in the programming forums) which lists all the threads that contains new replies (so that we can read them even it they are at the 1000th page...) what do you think of it ?

                Personally, I think your concern of "breaking the chronological order" is horsepucky. It would be easier to find still-active threads if the ones with replies since your last visit to the site were shown at the top of the forum. The biggest watse of time on the site right now is having to scroll page-after-page just to find a thread you were participating in. PhpBB can do it. Of course, the site would have to maintain a cookie ON THE SITE so that when you move from your home machine to your work machine, the site wouldn't lose your place.

                  I don't like phpBB and those flat forums. CP provide a much inovative and interresting way of talking with each others... having a summary of the messages marked "new" at a given moment would have permitted to jump to a particular thread without browsing tons of thread to find out which one has been replied

                    Full threading and most recent post first are not mutually impossible. Dejanews was able to do this back in the late 90's. The fact that so almost no current forum software is capable of this blows my mind. All that's needed is to add a combo box to "sort by date of first post in thread" or "sort by date of most recent post in thread".

                    -- Rules of thumb should not be taken for the whole hand.

                      There's nothing innovative about CP's forums. Beyond that, "innovative" doesn't always mean (and almost never means) "user-friendly".
