Forums - Website Topics - What's up with the Forum?

For the last couple days now, every time I go to the Forum section it's littered with ancient threads from years past. Nobody is posting in them, so what's the deal? It makes it really hard to browse current topics when every forum page is pushing dead threads front and center more so than anything recent. As soon as something slips from the hot topics tab on the VGC homepage now I pretty much lose track of it.

 

I haven't seen anyone talking about it, but surely I can't be the only one having this issue?



Around the Network

I haven't had this issue.

Do you need to refresh your cookies? What threads?


Nope, that doesn't change it.

Lots of crazy old threads from 2012-13 and such. Some even older. They just sit right up there on the front of every forum page I look at. Be it hot topics, gaming, sports, whatever.....

 

You guys don't have this issue?

Weird



You must have found the hot tub time machine.



I think I had this issue before, I had to refresh either my browsing history or cookies, if not I had to uninstall and reinstall my browser.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I've heard a few other users report this problem actually



You mean like going through the forum pages not the Hot topics on the side right? Have had the problem all day on mobile yesterday and today. Not on my PC though



What are you talking about isn't it the year 2012?

Correct. I'm using my tablet, so that may be the problem.



You pressed somewhere in the header accidentally, so now it's not sorting by "Last Post" but perhaps by "Topic", "Author" or something else.
Happened to me once, and hitting "Last Post" couldn't solve the problem.

I had to call a voodoo priestess to sprinkle some strange liquid onto my phone while dancing topless to the theme from Flashdance........come to think of it, maybe Amber wasn't a voodoo priestess after all....

(I don't know how.I fixed it)
