and it can't be the because i drank all that last night.
what should there be? i only have a 'latest post' which means i now have some really old nonsense at the top and not my recent twaddle.

Hi AtYourCervix,
There have been some behind-the-scenes changes happening on Threads I'm On lately, but for me it's mostly working correctly as far as I can tell.
There's a new option on the Customise page (near the bottom) that lets you choose the default sorting option for TIO. If you don't touch the drop-down box on the page then this will be what you see by default.
Currently it seems that the drop-down doesn't update itself properly based on this option, so it may say "Most recently active" but will actually be showing "My latest post" because that's what you've got it set to in Customise.
If you want to change the sorting, either change the option in Customise, or you can simply click on the one you want in the drop-down list, although if you have the issue I just mentioned, you'll need to sort by "My latest post" first, then go back to "Most recently active". Hopefully that'll get fixed soon-ish.

It wasn't actually coded by a bloke.
And wiring a plug is easy! Brown is a nice earthy colour, so that goes to Earth. Green and yellow are lively colours so they go to Live. And blue is a nice neutral colour so that goes to Neutral.
*Disclaimer: Don't actually wire a plug this way, unless you want to explode something!

@ShowOfHands: It should just be on the right hand side at the top of the list. You can use that to choose or set a default option in Customise.

Hi ShowOfHands,
There should be a small box on the right, see this screenshot (highlighted in yellow). You can use that to change the sorting in the page, though there is currently an issue with it displaying the wrong sort by default (it always shows Most recently active when you first load it, even if you choose My latest in Customise). Hopefully that issue will be sorted soon.

Ahh, now I see. I'll get someone to fix that as soon as we can.

Hi Maryz,
I know you're passionate about the idea, but we do need to balance our time fairly and also (on occasion!) do what we're told with regards to website design. TIO is not written in the same way that TIW is, and it is designed in such a way that to make the list user-manageable would almost mean completely redesigning the page from scratch, which is no easy task.
At the end of the day, we've got to take priorities. If this idea had a large support from the user base we could consider it, but at present it simply doesn't seem worth spending so much of our time re-vamping a page that, for the majority of the site's users, works perfectly well already.

@Maryz
I know I'm boring , but why is "Threads I'm On" not manageable like "Threads I'm Watching" with the bump and reset and delete options?
I can say that Threads I'm On is intended to show you all of the threads that you're actually, well... on, and being able to remove threads from that list would sort of go against the idea!

@ShowOfHands: Which browser are you using? It may ask you to resend the details in order to view the results again, but it shouldn't come up as page expired (at least, it doesn't for me, but maybe I'm doing something wrong...).

That's ok, Damian (and Adam - where did you come from - there's techs coming out of the woodwork now ).
I've been around for almost a year now. :)
