FabSwingers.com forum: Forums moving around

I don’t know if this is only happening on the mobile site, but every time I look at the forums, everything below the “meet requests and parties” forum is in a different order. As in they’ve all moved and I have to hunt a bit for the Wales forum instead of it being where it’s supposed to be. Is anyone else finding this? It’s been happening for a few days now.

"It’s been happening for a few days now."
It's been happening, on the desktop site, for a lot longer than that!

It seems to order them, after the fixed ones at the top, in order of the oldest most recent post, so that the forum with the most recent post (arguably likely to be the most popular forum?) will be right at the bottom.

I wondered whether it was an attempt to get people to "notice" the less popular forums?

I’ve never used the desktop version, just mobile. I have actually noticed it once or twice - the Lounge even disappeared once - but refreshing the list fixed it so I thought it was just a glitch. Seems pointless if it’s to try and get activity in less popular forums - I’m not going to bother posting in New Zealand when I want Wales!

It doesn't move on the desktop, that was a one off many moons ago. Not sure why it happened at the time but it wasn't happening to get people interested in other sections, Admin are happy for people to post where they want to

Having checked, they’re in a completely random order, not by time of last post.

Yeah, I've noticed them changing positions for a few days now. I tend to check out the politics forum which was quite near the top. Next time I went in it was at the bottom and has been in several other positions too.

It seems the bottom half are swapping position depending on when they were last commented on.

I think, but I’m not sure, that that happens when the most recent thread has been deleted or moved.

It will be a post/ thread removed, it then shows the last post over a year ago

Ok Admin are aware, in the meantime have a game of close your eyes and stick your mouse in a section where it normally is and see what you end up with, you never know, that section might have something in to interest you
