I run a fansite where people can ask questions of a celebrity, and the celeb tends to miss the older questions and is prone to just answer the more recent ones. That causes people to incessantly create new threads, trying to be on the first page of questions. If I could reverse the default display order in just this one forum, that would help solve the problem. Is it possible to do this?

I haven't tested this... but this *might* do the trick.

Code

In postlist.php<br /><br />Find this:<br /><br />   if (!$config['dateslip']) {<br />      $sort_opt = array(<br />         1 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Subject DESC',<br />         2 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Subject ASC',<br />         3 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t2.U_Username DESC',<br />         4 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t2.U_Username ASC',<br />         5 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Posted DESC',<br />         6 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Posted ASC',<br />         7 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Counter DESC',<br />         8 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Counter ASC',<br />         9 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Replies DESC',<br />        10 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Replies ASC',<br />		  11 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_RealRating DESC',<br />		  12 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_RealRating ASC'<br />      );                    <br />      $sort_by = $sort_opt[$sb];<br />   }<br /><br /><br /><br />change to this:<br /><br /><br />   if ($Board == "boardkeyword") {<br />      $sort_opt = array(<br />         1 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Subject DESC',<br />         2 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Subject ASC',<br />         3 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t2.U_Username DESC',<br />         4 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t2.U_Username ASC',<br />         5 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Posted ASC',<br />         6 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Posted DESC',<br />         7 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Counter DESC',<br />         8 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Counter ASC',<br />         9 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Replies DESC',<br />        10 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Replies ASC',<br />		  11 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_RealRating DESC',<br />		  12 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_RealRating ASC'<br />      );                    <br />      $sort_by = $sort_opt[$sb];<br />   }<br />   elseif (!$config['dateslip']) {<br />      $sort_opt = array(<br />         1 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Subject DESC',<br />         2 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Subject ASC',<br />         3 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t2.U_Username DESC',<br />         4 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t2.U_Username ASC',<br />         5 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Posted DESC',<br />         6 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Posted ASC',<br />         7 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Counter DESC',<br />         8 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Counter ASC',<br />         9 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Replies DESC',<br />        10 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_Replies ASC',<br />		  11 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_RealRating DESC',<br />		  12 => 't1.B_Sticky DESC,t1.B_RealRating ASC'<br />      );                    <br />      $sort_by = $sort_opt[$sb];<br />   }<br />

Above where I have "boardkeyword" substitute the board keyword for that forum.
