    I heard there is a "regions" section to ask for playdates in our area, but I can't seem to find it on the website.

    Hello - it is the bottom forum listed on the main page.

    I'm seeing "Age/Ability Specific forums" at the bottom of the main page. Sorry, I'm sure I'm being dense.

    I just updated a setting that may have been causing this. Can you view it now?

    If you're updating settings that are causing weird behavior, Mark, I'll hand you one more - within the Age/Ability Specific Forums, I cannot see updated threads in the Elementary School category. I can see them over on the right in the recently updated threads box, but they don't appear when I click on that forum. The others all seem to work properly.

    I have the same issue ElizabethN has. The threads show up fine under Active Topics, but not in the Elementary Forum itself.

    OK, I just updated a few more settings. Can you let me know if the Elementary Forum now shows up normally for you?

    No, it doesn't. The last post in the forum view is 5/8; the last post to the Elementary forum in the active topics view is from 5/17. (http://giftedissues.davidsongifted....Decision_re_Kindergarten.html#Post129908)

    I see a Display Options section at the bottom of the page. It defaults to Thread Subject - descending, which seems to give you threads sorted by thread title in reverse alphabetical order. If I switch it to sorting by Last post time - descending, I see the most recent post at the top, as you expect.

    Maybe, Mark, you can change the settings so that the default sort order is Last post time - descending, since that's what people seem to expect? Reverse alphabetical order by subject doesn't seem all that useful, anyway :-)

    Ah, you are observant! Yes, that's exactly it - the other forums sort in a different order.
