Moderating Forums Question

Post by Eanwulf » Mon Mar 20, 2017 11:46 pm

Is there a way to pre-arrange or even re-arrange the order in which thread topics are organized (other than sticky or announcement) in a particular folder?

As in, my Starknight OOC folder - there are topics there for PCs NPCs Alien Races etc; each one handled as its own topic. Sadly, they fluctuate in order due to being time-stamped and new additions to a thread placing it at the top of the order and what not.

I was trying to see whether or not they could be fixed or locked in their respective positions and if so, how to go about re-stacking them into proper position.

I'll elaborate further if need be.

The only order I know is Announcements -> Sticky - Normal.

If you had less than 3 of them you could do something like that. Otherwise, ordering within a group, I don't think so (or that I know of).

Only reason I ask TBH is that I know other forums allowed one to adjust the order of their topic threads and keep them affixed in that order. Proboards being one example. I was just curious overall.

Alas, I don't really know. @shurijo?

Closest thing I've seen so far is that I can alphabetize them on my comp via Sort By Subject Ascending. No biggie overall.

I also don't know how that would be possible. Let's see if @Shurijo has a comment.

Sticky, Global, Announcements, and normal threads are the only types of thread groupings. As far as I know, there's no way to manually sort threads in a forum.

HOWEVER, each user can click on the Sort button at the bottom of the forum, and select "SORT BY SUBJECT" and it will sort by topic/subject name. This is just for the user display and V sorts his thread that way, then only V will see it that way (Tet and I would see it however we have our sort/display set).
