What is with the topics? Every time I go to the "Advice Topics" page it takes me there and I choose a topic and all the questions are all mixed. I can't tell which is new or not. I know that they are being mixed because some are REALLY old. I don't like it because I'm going to that topic because it has new questions and I want to answer the new questions not the old ones. It's even the same on the "View Questions" page. I really would rather to have it back the normal way. Am I the only one that this happening too? please tell me if I'm not because then I will go to the admin.

MFS answered Friday July 9 2004, 9:00 pm: I believe that this is because the site is still in "backlog" mode. While we needed to be in backlog mode for a while there, due to the approval process error, I think we might want to think about going back to the normal, chronologic listing, to make things a little easier to sort through.

DruidX answered Friday July 9 2004, 7:13 pm: Well, most of the new questions are got to via 'give advice', rather than 'topics'. Yes they are all jumbled up, but that can be sorted by using the serch function. With topics I think it depends on what topic you are going to as to whether there are recent questions in it, eg 'love' gets more questions than 'cars'.
