Dear friends Mylotters. Today a strange thing happened to me here on the site. I wanted to answer some discussion titled "recent", then I found an interesting discussion. After I answered and posted it all, I notice that the threads was written a week ago and I, without knowing I had already answered! Now I wonder, why so long written discussions are still in the "recent"? Do you know me "enlighten"? Thanks in advance.

I guess when they said "recent discussion", it means that there someone recenlty added their response to that particular discussion. What I checked is the "new discussion" where the new discussion has been added. By the way, this is just my opinion.

In fact, I noticed that threads written by me, are placed in the foreground to those who have been given, an answer more recently.

It happened to me a couple of times, being a newbie and all. I also don't know the technicalities for qualifying discussions here, but somehow I find some very interesting past discussions that I want to "resurrect" the thread.

ell, maybe, discussions of quality may be republished in the "recent" maybe when there is a shortage of new threads.

Hi, maybe those discussions are not recently posted but RECENTLY ANSWERED OR RESPONDED. If you will notice your own posted discussions, those that are recently answered are showned on top of the others. They are not arranged according to the dates they were posted but according to the dates of the last post or response they got. Those that are answered or replied recently are always on top. I hope that helps. Thanks.

As owlings said, someone might have replied to that discussion recently so it is listed in recent discussion.

Hello alberello, "Recent" discussion here does not mean how old is the discussion.Whenever a response/comment is posted on the discussion even it may be of years ago it will appear in the "recent" discussion.

Maybe it is a bug

'Recent' discussions list (or should list) discussions which have had recent activity. It would be possible for discussions which were started many months or years ago and most of whose responses were of similar date to be listed as 'recent' if just one response or comment had been added recently. That being said, there seem to be a number of things which still are not working correctly after the 'big crash' at the end of last month.

Really? It's too strange. I have no idea. I just met the "recent" was not the "recent".
