Question Scott Beeson · Feb 26, 2016

Replies to a post no longer move it to the top?

Is this by design?  

For a community forum, I think replies should "top" posts.

For a question/answer site, I don't think they should.

I haven't really figured out where this site falls yet.

Postings should all be sorted by original post date and then the last comment date (descending). If you're seeing a page that isn't sorting in this manner please let me know. Thanks.

Any thoughts on this yet Paul?

Ok, I learned some more things about the comment timestamps. Sorting has been adjusted again and now new comments on posts, regardless of the post's age, will bring it to the top of the list. However, this does not alter the "Latest" filter, which only shows new postings from the last week and does not consider new comments on older postings.

Is that a rolling last week, i.e. 7 days? Or last calendar week?

      case 'newest':
          $query->condition('created', REQUEST_TIME - 604800, '>=');
        break;
