I'd prefer a simple calendar sort, too, but I guess it's not to be.

There's always "View unanswered posts", which is, for the most part, close enough.

thanks Zarel. i'll give that a shot. :3

i'm needing to be very efficient with my time management. it's important to my working on wz stuff that i keep abreast of subjects that would directly impact said work. with effective sorts i can do that expending at most 10 minutes once a week. obviously, in a sense, this whole deal is self-serving as i do not want to have to crawl through every forum and sub-forum to read-assimilate information germane to what i'm doing.

once "active topics" is functioning properly it should be a big help as well.

thanks again to all here who have taken of their own valuable time to help sort these issues out (pun intended). no doubt my alter ego also appreciates this. ;)

being simply a guest suits me as i'm finding myself as a poster being mostly repetitious these days - not surprising after some 50,000 posts on wz over the last decade.

- regards, :ninja:
