Is there any way you can post an alphabetic index of previous posts?.
There does seem alot of past topics re-appearing where questions have already been well discussed

Neil. It's something I would have to look into. I'm fairly sure it's based on Time & Date only. Will get back to you.

All sections are now in alphabetical order.

Found it , seems that the listings on this thread are running alphabetically instead of current date listed . Hope this makes sense .

It's a lot harder to find the latest posts. scratch

1879graves. Just click on the topic as they scroll up on the lefthand side of the home page. ( latest Topics)

I have increased the number of latest topics to 50

I understand, just a long winded way of going about it. Mad

I am not complaining, just passing comment.

I would like to know if members would like it to go back to the way It was. I can see Neil's reasoning for requesting the change, but sorting alphabetically doesn't take into account punctuation, and numbers. Salute

Prefered the old way.

I use the search box. For exsample in the search box type " ammunition " then press the search button. It brings up every topic with the word "ammunition" Easy Salute

When you know how.

Hi All.
The old way for me !. Salute

cheers 90th.

The old way for me too.

There is already a fantastically useful tool on here called the Search facility.

Without sounding like goody perfect twoshoes - I am certainly not perfect and I know you'll disagree with that - but if I am thinking of posting up a new topic, I search the key words of the title I have in mind first. And if I want to find a particular topic i do the same - eg Search "Martini Henry firing".
Perhaps there should be a message or something in a prominent place, to encourage and remind users to do this before posting up a new topic and to find ones already in existence.
