i think the point is that no one has a clue what you are talking about..... you're trying to find a specific thread solely by look at looking at who posted last in a particular forum?? how is that remotely useful? sounds to me like you don't really nkow how to use this site, for example have you found the "view new posts" link?
i think people read your post fine, you just didn't explain it at all well... and going by your last post makes me think i'm actually right as above.... how is this meant to be useful?
It lets you know whether you should spend your time going to a page to see that the last post wasn't in your topic asking about something, but in some other topic...
but there were 6 posts in linux - general in the last 10 minutes... why should the very very last one have any real siginificance? really mate.. just use this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...&action=getnew
