    ''Are others seeing posts out of order?''

    Yes, I have been seeing that for a week or two.

    For me, the workaround seems to be to switch from ''flat'' to ''Threaded'' mode.

    FWIW, I think this forum software is dreadful.

    A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

    Forum s/w should default or at least remember thread view.  Larger font size would help.  Also not going to top after reading a post halfway down.

    ''FWIW, I think this forum software is dreadful.''

    Agreed, although I've seen a lot worse.

    Agreed, but what makes it more frustrating is that the old forum worked very well

    It does!

    Doesn't look like anyone's going to own-up to what went wrong, or say what had to be done to fix it, though...

    Doesn't seem to be fixed completely.  The topic

    ''Code causes hard fault, can anyone guess why'' is still out of order for me.

    Hi ,

    the correct Flat View sorting configuration setup has been put back.

    So, it should be OK now.

    Ciao

    ''Code causes hard fault, can anyone guess why'' is still out of order for me.

    Two replies arrived *before* the first post.  Time should be server time not submitter’s local time.  Something about time zones on our planet I would suspect.  Perhaps flat view should show posts in the order received.
