Soapbox - start your day with a Quote thread

This thread is completely messed up.

With over 1200 posts and a new one added almost every day, this thread is a bit unwieldy even when its working right and its not working right this morning! Cant you go back to the old separate numbers pages with x number of posts on each? I cant find the "end" of the thread where all the new posts are, and changing the sorting order doesnt help. This just started this morning.

And thats not the only glitch. Usually this thread gets one post a day at most, So why is it so mixed up?

Made a post an  hour ago, then went back to find it and couldnt get back to the end (most recent posts) of the thread, and the entire thread refuses to load no matter what setting i use, (start from most recent,  start from oldest etc.) I had to go to my Profile page and find the link to my most recent post from 2 hours ago just to find what should be the end of the thread. Right now the current page that came up when I clicked that link (above) is showing, IN THIS EXACT ORDER, posts dated:

Sorry if I sound a bit incoherent, but WHAT is going on?

No one knows why this new Community software does anything, frankly. No rhyme or reason to any of it.

That being said, when I accessed the thread through a search for the title instead of through your link, the posts were out of chronological whack, as it were; however, I also noticed the sort was defaulted to "Oldest to Newest." When I switched it to "Newest to Oldest," the sort order seems to be what you're looking for?

If that doesn't help, you could also experiment with the other "sort" functions on the board's MAIN page (not inside a thread). See "Sorted by" and "Options" drop-down menus below--especially "Threaded format" versus "Linear format."

Thanks, the Newest to oldest" sort order seems to also put the posts back in chronological order. When im not in the middle of a pot of soup, figuratively speaking, Ill look over the other options. WHY in the Wide Wide World Of Sports do they have to keep fixin what aint broke?
