Edit: this thread isn't bubbling up either. Here's is a screen print demonstrating the issue.

As you can see it is not sorting by last post (and this thread is sorting too low to be captured in the screen print).
I don't know if it's a bug--I think it's sorting not by last post in the thread but by your last post. That's what that search is designed to do--show you your own posts.

You're right that it won't help you with the 83 threads you've already posted in...but now's the time to make the change when you only have 83 threads you need to subscribe to! Changing later when you have thousands is going to be a pain.

And yes, MyFlyerTalk does sort threads properly. At least try MyFlyerTalk out and see if it works for you. Seriously, it's the only way a user who is active at all around here can keep up.

I wish "Subscribe" with "No Email Notification" were the default. That would make things like this so much easier.
