Forums Allow sorting threads in forums

[IronBladeClan]

Could we have a way to sort threads?

I wanted to explore The Lab and elsewhere, but I don't know what threads to start looking at for useful stuff in there, because there's no rating/sorting system. This kind of forces me to go through the entire subforum if I want to browse it.

Would be awesome if we could sort threads in the forums by like, most bookmarks, or most reactions on first page, or even by a heuristic that takes total number of posts or activity or something into account.

Perhaps such a heuristic could be weighted by how recent each of the reactions/bookmarks, etc., were - which could prevent old stuff from always dominating the sort, allowing for some churn when new good threads are made...or, could be bad, if perhaps threads from 10+ years ago don't even have bookmarks or reactions.

Pretty please

Sorry not sorry

You've really thought of it all, haven't you...I guess "First message reaction score" and "Views" is as good a heuristic as I could ask for

...now I'm hestitant to make a thread about my next suggestion for a "personal 'downloaded' record" - is that already implemented too somewhere I just haven't noticed??

Oh I can't take all the credit for that.

HIVE is heavily custom but at its core lies XenForo, a really nice piece of forum system software.

I think there is some kind of takeout system but I haven't seen it.
