If this is posted elsewhere please direct me there. I also checked for a link to report site issued back to TR directly though I can't see it. As such, I'm posting here encase other's can confirm this issue.

I?ve got my list of subscribed discussions like most others may have. The majority of the time I get a listing of updated discussions sorted in order by date; most recent to most distant. For whatever reason, this list of discussions seems to be coming up a mess as of recent. I?d say it?s usually in the morning that things show out of order correcting itself eventually during the day at some point.

Here?s what I?m seeing this morning when I click My Workbench:

At present, My Workbench seems to be the most efficient way to track discussions on TR but it?s a little like the worker in the office that drinks too much; not really of use in the morning but a functioning member of the team once they get the day?s drunk on.

As with most days, I?m sure this will be sorting correctly and showing a bunch of 08/31/2007 ?Updates?. The question is what bug in the programming code is causing this and when will it be fixed? Are other's having this same issue or am I the only lucky one?

Even after considering it, I wouldn't state that it isn't but I think the cache issue would present the previous days updated subscriptions or whenever the stale cache data was from. In this case, I'm seeing the dates completely out of order. Even a proxy cache somewhere in the network should present dates in order if it's caching the whole page.

I'll try blowing out my local browser catch the next time it does it though. After all, if the issue can not be replicated, I have to consider that it's just me.

I just got this this morning. What did I do different from usual? I usually use the original Workspace tab as an anchor, opening new tabs from there as desired. This time I returned to my Workspace from inside TR.
