Is it just me?

Seem to be more and more where some random post is the first one shown.

eg:

I see a lot of threads where the first post isn't from the original poster and the actual first post us about fifth down the page.

Like here-
> https://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/new-doctor-is-a-lady/ < Is this all part of Mark's grand plan and everything is going fine, or is it another part of the botched upgrade?

It seems any thread or post about a year old or more is randomly sorted.

From the look of it, it’s only older threads.

Live in the now, man.

It's the new way, people post the answers they always post and then someone posts a question which has a very vague link to those answers. It saves all that having to forget what the OP actually wants to know before giving an answer. Obviously some people then post after the question has been posted which is what makes it so confusing.

Not sure whether there are plans to fix any of those old threads that got broked by the ahem, upgrade.

I was alluding to the fact that many answers are posted with no regard to the question being asked so therefore why not start with the answers and add the question later. Hope that makes it clear 🙂

Unfixable I would have thought. Adds to the magic and mystery of looking up old threads.

Very apt to chose a thread about a time traveller as your case study

They're not broke, it's one of Mark's many enhancements which were meticulously planned and executed.

Nothing to see here.....
