<y REAL queston is "Why is the last Board chosen for crossposting the one it shows up under on the Front Page?", but that clear and concise title would not fit! grin

Anyway, how come?

I usually pick a Board where it would be appropriate, and then crosspost as needed. The last Board that I choose is the one that is listed under on the Front Page.
I would think that logically, it should be the other way around, and that afterthoughts should be just that. Afterthoughts.

He upon high (Bill) coded it that way?

Do agree though – the first once posted to should be the one that shows up.

It's a mental exercise, having to plan it in reverse. Like that StarCraft boardgame by FFG.

John,

I've also wondered about that.

Bill -- Well, how come?

The last crosspost entered into the database is the "first" (newest) one in the index which is used to display the topics.

(It was the easiest way to code it.) grin

It seems I must decide which Boards to crosspost to strategically. grin
Does this mean that I actually have to THINK about what I post? Bummer.

After the grenade you tossed into the American Revolution board we will all be safer when you think. You are truly a force of nature when you go on autopilot! grin
