	Hi, some of my users are asking me to change my sob forums order. They suggested me to use number of post or last post to order my subforums. I know that you define the order at the control panel, but i wonder if there is a way to make it work as the topics, in last post order...

	There is not. I would image such a scheme of reordering forums in this way would be quite confusing.

	Thanks Bruce, I will try to make a better order by hand in the control panel.

	Another thing you could try is edit in a text editor the file forum_topics.asp and change thye order by clause for sub forums in the SQL to be order by the last topic date instead. It would be line 608 changed from:- "ORDER BY " & strDbTable & "Forum.Forum_Order, " & strDbTable & "Permissions.Forum_ID;" To:- "ORDER BY " & strDbTable & "Forum.Last_post_date ASC;"

	Many Thanks Bruce... I did this change, except for the order, I used DESC instead of ASC, I want the recent ones on the top. ;-) Worked just fine, I am glad it is a minor change. Thanks a lot.
