Bug report: Old threads showing up at the top of the list

As a professional web developer I must say that these forums are a disgrace. I wouldn't dare sell such a product.

    It happens when a spam post is removed, as in the Catering thread, http://forums.adobe.com/thread/285152?tstart=0, in the Print Design forum, http://forums.adobe.com/community/design_development/printdesign?view=discussions&start=0, where it topped the list for a while with a 1 year old post by Neil after my reporting.

    FWIW, I think that happens anytime somebody interacts with a thread in any way other than simple reading. Edit/Delete a reply, report abuse, mark answered, etc... if they don't post a new reply. The date visible to us is only related to the last post, but other types of updates seem to be involved in this odd "bump" feature.

    Nope, report abuse doesn't do it, just tried. Sorry Graf

    ... and, just marked a 2 month old post as answered, that didn't do it.

    You could say the same about the entire Adobe site!


    Slow, overloaded with junk and no discernible structure.
