Post is not showing up? - Buy Sell Trade - Change to topic order

[shelleyd2008]

On the index page, for the other poultry BST forum, it shows chickenlittle32 as the most recent post. This is the post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=2947347#p2947347

If you go to the link, it shows that it is in other poultry BST, but if you go to other poultry BST, the thread is nowhere to be found? What gives?

I just did it as well...and it is doing the same thing...strange....

It's on page 4 of Other Poultry BST-

Not in order by time of recent posts at all.


Might be a glitch due to the changeover to auction style?

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

Nope, not a glitch. Something we should have done from the very beginning!

We've had a tremendous amount of problems with people bumping their posts to try to get their listings to the top of the BST sections. This just causes a lot of problems for the rest of the forum members browsing experience and levels the playing field.

Starting today, all Buy Sell Trade topics will be sorted by the time of the "Topic Post" and not by "Last Post".

So, no need to try to bump BST listings any more since it won't make any difference.

Good idea.

 

[chickenlittle32]

I wasn't bumping..was I? I was responding to what she offered to me...??

 

[Nifty-Chicken]

Nope, you're probably fine with what you were doing.

BST threads are a totally different animal than regular threads. The purpose of a regular thread is to have a discussion. The purpose of a BST listing is to sell an item. For this reason they should be sorted in a different manner.

Again, this is a much more fair and clean system.

Genius!
