Hello there, on the right side of the forum, it shows latest threads, is there any option to instead have it show the threads with the latest posts?

For example, we had a thread that was posted a few months ago, but is decently active, but if you go to the front page of our forum, it only shows the latest made threads.

Thank you.

You can set the site setting **desktop category page style** to **Categories and Latest Topics**. It will order topics by latest activity.

Looks like I don’t have access to it, I’ll contact the owner. For clarification, this is what I see

Oh you are a moderator and not admin. Yes the admin settings require admin level access. 🙂
