Obviously it's not on my screen at least, that's why I am asking.

If I go in there now the 3 threads have today's date 1/21 as the last action. The next one has the 1/19. The fourth has 1/21, then 1/10, 1/19, 1/21. The threads don't seem to get bumped.

Maybe it is set up differently so threads don't get bumped.

They appear to be sorted by Start Date and not by Last Action Date

Yeah, that doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

When they changed formats for GB, they changed the way the thread displayed. Since GB run a fixed amount of time and then lock. the power thought is was a good Idea to display the threads in the order they were started. It is been that way since V4 went live.

As for why it is that way is VC. I have not clue.

Makes sense to me - it means they are sorted in order of when posted, and so people cannot bump them up.

But why wouldn't you want it bumped? I don't get the reasoning behind that. If you start a GB on Jan 1st, by Feb.28th the GB could possibly be on the second or third page (even though you have 30 days left. Most people wouldn't bother going to the next page thinking that the GB was old. It makes more sense for it to be able to bump up, that way a GB would have activity and be seen more often.

Sorry, in VC it makes sense I guess. GB might be better allowing bumps
