Forums - Website Topics - Forum threads suddenly getting sorted by views by default

Is this happening to anyone else? It's supposed to display by most recent posts normally but now all the sections other than latest topics is sorting by views. The worst part is it reverts back to views when going to page 2 which makes it so I can only look at page 1 sorted another way so looking through forum threads is kinda broken right now, at least for me. It's also only happening when logged in and on Chrome but not Firefox for some reason.

Edit: It's fixed now.

Should probably do this to help it get noticed. @Bandorr



Mine is behaving normal for now.  I'll try to figure it out later.

Only suggestion is the typical.  Log out and log in.  Clear cache etc.



You are bound to love Earthbound.

I hope this doesn't come across as condescending or anything... but have you already tried clicking on the "Last Post" button (see the top right of Bandorr's screenshot). The downward arrow in your screenshot is over the "Views" column so just checking. (Though judging by your wording of "it reverts back to date when I go to next page," sounds to me like you already tried this.)

Clearing all the cookies fixed it so it's fine now. I thought I had already tried that earlier with the Cookie Remover extension but it seems that doesn't clear everything so lesson learned there. I wonder what was going on there.

While it was happening doing that would change it for page 1 but as soon as I clicked page 2 it would change back to views for whatever reason.
