Threads shown in random order - possible ?

[the cynic]

Hi,

Is it possible to make it that when a user looks at a sub forum that the thread order is shown randomly rather than by last post date

If so, advice on how to code would be much appreciated

:)

You would have to modify the code in the showthread.php template to do that. You would need to add a new sort option which would ORDER BY RAND() (although, read this before doing so - http://www.titov.net/2005/09/21/do-not-use-order-by-rand-or-how-to-get-random-rows-from-table/ )

Many thanks Lynne, I will give it a tryout and see how it works.
