This forum drives me crazy - why aren't the threads sorted by last post?

It's only the advertising forums that are sorted by the thread start date.

It's a good thing. ;)

Okay, I see your point. If they weren't, they'd be bumping their threads to the top all the time. gotcha

That is precisely what caused the change. :)

It can be bad when you have a contest that lasts a couple of weeks and have to go to page search and go to page 5 every time.

In that case, you can post a link to another discussion site/area. People can discuss all they want in that place. (instead of ad forums of webhostingtalk.com)

Peter Well, it wouldn't be another area of WHT. Not sure what you're saying.

Yes the forum isn't really designed for long-term contests. It works much better for short promotions, which is how we'd like it to work (which is why you have to wait at least 5 days to post another ad). This way the offers listed are fresh and current.

What I meant to say was that they could post a link to their contest page, hosted on their servers.
