"My Recent Topics" problem
When I try to view "My Recent Topics" for the last two weeks the last couple days are jumbled - ie. not in chronological order. If I look at one week or les, no problem.

Problem still persists. Not a complaint - just making sure it doesn't get forgotten about.

Here seems to be the problem -
Showing results 1 to 25 of 145
Search took 0.14 seconds; generated 29 minute(s) ago.
The search feature is re-using the search results from earlier. The updated threads show the new time and last poster, but the order that they are in is the same from the re-used search. So, when someone updates a thread it doesn't move to the top of the list. In fact, it may still be several pages back

This is a screen shot from when I tried to look at "My Recent Topics" - "Last 2 Weeks". Note the two areas I highlited with yellow - why are they out of chronological order? Hmmm. Now look at the area I marked with a red arrow. It is using the search I did 38 minutes ago instead of generating a whole new search. The reason those items are out of order is because that is the position they were in (chronologically) 38 minutes ago! Each new search needs to fetch all new results - not some half-cached version of the results I pulled up last time!

I think that we would have complaints if we were to try to write custom code to modify this. If we changed it to list the threads in the order they were created or when you last replied to them then it would be hard to tell which had been replied to recently.
I think it makes sense to leave it as is but I'm open to suggestions on it if you see a good way to improve it that wouldn't be too complicated to customize.
