Sort forums

I've been searching the forums before I write a new post and it's quite hard to see if the topic has been covered since search results don't let you sort by date. So I see bugs closed 8 months ago amidst new ideas from this week and  need to go through all the pages to see if the topic has been covered under current game mechanics. 

Adding the normal sorting tools would really help us to contribute more usefully.

  • +1 I think this is a real hindrance to constructive forum posts.

  • I finally found this! Ah. Well then.

    How exactly are the forum search results sorted, anyway? I can search for a thread title (specifically I searched for Global Chat) and find it as the sixteenth result, with a bunch of the results above it maybe not even having the very words in their titles. And mind you this specific thread actually has two duplicates.

    Also, a function to search posts specifically, and not threads in general, would be nice.

  • I'd like to be able to see a list of all the threads I have previously posted in as a reference.

    Or a list of all the comments someone has made like in a phpBB forum

    And we need stickies for popular/important threads. Plus some sort of categories that are less broad, such as Game-related Help, Just for Fun, etc. (But I suspect that some of that functionality is coming later on...I think they are just very, very focused on making the game awesome before live.)
