I believe it was always like that. Which reminds me of:

I just discovered that their exists and how to use the ignore topic option!

Go here and make sure to check under "Show quick-moderation as" checkboxes.
Now under show unread posts since last visit or under show new replies to your posts you can check the topics you'd like to ignore. Then hit ignore!

Looking at the deal board and tired of all the conversations?
Add:

Code: [Select]

;sort=first_post;descTo the end of the URL when your on any board, to sort by most recently started topic.

Add it to your unread post's URL, to quickly see all new unread threads.

Like so: (easy bookmarkable)
https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?action=unread;sort=first_post;desc


Beware: you will miss deals that are replies to old threads

Is there a way to display all threads across DDF (from all boards) in order of which was most recently posted in?

Similar to the way any board looks, just with all threads from all boards?

Hit this box to directly PM a fellow member, *keep in mind to ignore one's signature when doing so.



*The box will be yellow when the member is online and white when offline
**The above rule excludes the one hidden user. Not to worry he is always online:)

The right-most icon further down (between gender and program) does the exact same thing.

I Would usually try to quote the original post, so they know what I'm responding to or referring to.

I thought of that. But being it's a few posts away and with that self explanatory title, I didn't think it was necessary.
