Forum Games: Organizing by the first post's date?

10 years ago

Sorry for posting another suggestion so soon after the first, but this seemed like a good idea. I couldn't help but notice that in the Forum Games section, the posts are organized by when the last reply was posted. It would be nice if there was an option to see a list of subject posts, like this one, meaning the main post that starts a new subject, rather than people's replies, in order of when they were created.

Well, that sounded very confusing and nonsensical. Let's try again, shall we? 

I would like to see the lists of posts organized by the date of the post, not the replies. That makes sense, I believe. Anyways, I just thought that it might be nice to have a button or option or something that would make that possible. 

Thank you for reading my painfully poor explanation of my idea, and I apologize if it has been suggested before. If you have any questions about this thought, please do not hesitate to ask.

To the space between spaces,

But why? And why not on every board, not just forum games.

Well, specifically for Forum Games, because some people would rather join a new multiplayer game with few people than join one with tons of people, who are posting new replies every couple of seconds. And it wouldn't have to only be for Forum games. It would just be more useful for them than any other type of forum.

So, you're saying you want to be able to see just by looking at the forum which game was most recently started-- Because you want to be able to join a relatively new game with few players.

Honestly, I have no idea if that's something that could be coded into the site, but: that's not really necessary here. 

There's a new game starting nearly every other day.  No game has "lots" of players.  Also, the same set of players are in almost every game.

If you want to know which games are newest, try looking at the forum for which "Signup" thread is closest to the top.

There's that one thing that Ugi did, which I am far too lazy to restart...
