Arrrgh! Someone posts a comment to a thread started back in 2002 and it pops to the top of the list of new discussions. They used to be displayed in a nice orderly manner, in the order received. I find the new method bloody annoying.

I thought that most of the people that use TechR are techies... I think there are more politicians and pervs visiting.

Or politicians and pervs are techies too?!? Chicken or the egg?

The most popular discussionon TR have ALWAYS been off topic discussions.

The bulk of TR members are from the USA, the USA is 100% politically focused 100% of the time, it goes without saying that such discussions will raise the most debate.

There is a way out for you though, when you visit the MAIN discussion page, you will see a list of various topics, just choose the one you wish to discuss and you will see all discussions there, no off topic just TECHIE stuff, if you haven't had enough IT for one day.

They used to kep posts up to date this way in the MY DISCUSSIONS section.

It keeps the most recently added reply at the top so with a quick viw you ca se if someone has added to a topic you ar discussing.

It's actually very helpful for those of us who were used to it before BUT...it should be done this way in MY DISCUSSIONS and just track which of your own discussions has the most recent post, as opposed to all discussions.
