Well I know when I go to my Watched Items page, the groups that I'm following are listed in the order of last place I made a post. Just going into a group and reading posts doesn't change that order. If the last place I made a post was in a Mazda forum, then that forum stays on the top of the list until I make a post somewhere else and then that new forum goes to the top and the Mazda forum (and all the others) slides down a spot on the list. Discussions with new posts (the list following the list of watched forums) the order there is determined by most recent post. if a discussion in one of my watched groups gets a new post, the discussion appears on the top of that list. After those "new post discussions" are the discussions I've set individual watches on. (This discussion for example) Those are always listed there, and seem to be sorted by last post as well. If there's a new post in one, it moves to top of the individually watched items" section (after the new post in watched groups listings) And just like the watched groups, if I make a post in an individually watched discussion, it moves to the top of the list as well (I think... checking that now) Clear as mud?

Replying to: pf_flyer (Jul 18, 2008 7:51 am) BTW, I was not talking about the ordering of the list of my watched items, but the order in which new posts are displayed when I click on "Read New Posts." |

I rarely use the Read New Posts button. Sounds like time for an experiment!

Replying to: steve_ (Jul 18, 2008 9:40 am) That one pops up first for me, every time, if there is a new post there....

Has always followed an order of undetermined (by me) logic, but the order is always the same. Actually, I did ask the tech guy one time a long time ago what determines this and he didn't have an answer for me. He may have just not had time to think about it. Doesn't really matter to me what order I see them, I'll be reading them all anyway! What I do see is that the boards which contain discussions I track appear in a certain order all the time. The discussions on those boards also have a specific order. If there are groups on any given board that I am tracking, they also appear in a certain order, as do the discussions within the groups. I have the idea that the order may loosely be tied to when the groups or discussions were created (earliest first), but I've never proved that. |

I want to post some pictures, but when I go to MyCarSpace, I am logged as Guest. I click the "LOG IN" button, but nothing happens except the screen refreshes. I tried it in FireFox and IE 7, and I am already logged into Edmunds.com. Any ideas? -------------- Update, I managed it with IE. Is there a possibility that MyCarSpace is not set up for Firefox 3?
