Forums are a way of having a conversation in text form. Unfortunately this site totally rips up the standard convention and places the more current or popular posts above questions... So the conversation gets VERY confusing.
I think someone needs to look at the flow of the forums and perhaps change them to a more normal flow pattern, so that when someone asks a question then the answer will appear below it... not three or four posts above the question. Reading existing threads would even give Dr Who a headache.
