Even after a forum software upgrade, the forum list is still not sorted alphabetically. I made this request/pointed it out a couple of years ago that the "FORUMS" list on the left would be much easier to navigate if it was alphabetical, AT LEAST at the sub-forum level. I.E. it's OK that Hardware and Technology comes before Consumer Electronics, but at least sort the sub-forums w/i each alphabetically.

Thanks for listening. And not ignoring me. And not deleting this post. And actually fixing it. SO easy to fix. Just do it. Really. Now...you're just surfing...fix it. Please. Thank you. :)

I think this is a good idea. +1

Have to agree that is annoying. I end up doing a search for the forum I'm looking for with a cntrl+f as it's currently just a wall of text.

I dunno Alfa...3 against 1 so far. Not looking good for you. ;) I asked years ago and nothing changed. I'm expecting the same now, but it never hurts to ask.

Sample size is too small to come to a conclusion. We need at minimum 1,000,000 people for a decent sample size.

Meh. it's such a minor issue, I don't see why they'd spend a second making the change. it's not like there are 1,000 forums to sift through...

Add a poll!

I like it the way it is too. If they change it, I'd have to go editing my forum-hiding stylesheet.

It is sorted by "most popular" (at least at the time of the switch) and has stayed pretty accurate.

I like it the way it is. By now I can pretty much click on whatever forum I want without looking, just through muscle memory.

I have just memorized it, as have many others. Changing it will confuse more people than help them I think.
