I believe this should be in Site Feedback. You can ask the mods to move it for you.

And I'm where I'd expect to be in the list, in alphabetical order. So I'm not frustrated.

IIRC, Becka already posted something similar a while back, too.

If it makes you feel any better, Mephisto, I'm always the last one listed on my computer.

I believe it always shows your own name last.
Anyway a few seconds ago. animepornstar was first and as usual my own name last.

But it doesn't frustrate me.

Loosing a long post because of pushing the wrong button is worse. Then I get mad.

I always do a quick highlight & copy before I post. You can't risk it with words this wise

Yeah I'm pretty sure it lists the names in order of viewing the forum... (or are the other names in alphabetical order too?? I don't pay much attention to these things...)

It's the same for me to, always the last one. But anyway, is it really of any importance?

if it's the same for everyone, then i don't feel it's still nice to be the first one though.

edit, hey, Trabpukcip, you are the last name on my screen too.

You are automatically put last, but everyone else is listed in order of their post count. It's as simple as that.

As said before, this ought to be in SF.

[edit]: Before anyone asks, the members' birthdays are also listed in order of post count, not age or anything.

I always figured it was based on when you entered the forum. Since your entry is obviously the most recent at that moment in time, you are always last.

I shall have to observe to see if the dark lord is always first when he appears.

On the main forum, it's in alphabetical order. In the threads, I think it lists it by who entered first.

I did some research. I believe that it always puts "you" at the end of the list, and the rest are not by postcount, but by date joined (actually by member number, which is basically the same thing).


Eg: From the OT forum a few minutes ago:


Name P/C member ID

Duke o' york______ 3334______1114
Kemal_____________ 82______1502
MWA______________51______ 2546
deniko_____________ 0______ 8513
Ralendil___________239_____11910
AVN______________968_____15363
Pillager___________ 745_____17991
gr8ful wes_________320_____18696
stalin006__________612_____19671
ainwood_________1708______ 2444



And in the process, we may have "outed" Denko as one of the Longest-serving serial lurkers


P.S. Couldn't get the damn columns justified.

IIRC its on date joined not pc or always last. So if you look at my birthday I will always be first.
