Why aren't the topics in descending chronological order of last post? What exactly is the ordering? I don't understand what is the ordering logic.

What you're looking for may be found in the link "Recent Topics," found at the top of the forum page.

Thanks, but no. The topics should be in order within each forum. Currently, I can't figure out what the ordering logic is, if there even is any. Thanks for pointing out Recent Topics though. I never used that link before.

Within the forums, threads are ordered by the date of the latest reply to them. Is this not what you are looking for?

They are not ordered that way at all. For example, look at the threads under General Discussion. The latest thread to receive a reply is ? Veteran Status 11, yet there are 7 threads before it in the order. And the oldest one of those threads had its last reply in July! Clearly they are not ordered by last reply.

Pay attention to all of the threads after the first 7 in General Discussion. The first 7 all have different icons; they have been stickied, or designated to remain at the top. The rest, all with the same icon, are in chronological order.

Ah. Who determines what should be stickied? Seems like trustworthy uniwarriors doesn't merit being stickied to stay on top. It's just opinion. I would think these deserve their own forum.
