Technical question:

Is there a way to make "Sort threads by:Thread Start Time" my default setting? Sorting them that way is the only way I've found to prevent posters from pagepushing by bumping their own old top-posts.

I wish I knew the answer to that one. Many posts have hung around for months due to page pushing by the person who first posted.

Unfortunately, I don't see how "Thread Start Time" can be set as your default, you have to manually specify for each forum. Look at this setting:

Settings => General Settings => Thread Display Options => Default Thread Age Cut Off

It might help address your concern.

Checked it out. It's just a handful of usual suspects that are the problem,but it's really disruptive and disrespectful to other posters. Guess my only options are to switch to "Thread Start Time" or leave this site when the miscreants are posting.
