Sort by date/sort by vote

Hi Guys, 

 

Mainly one for admins. Is there any way to set it so that I always see arrange by date as standard? The question topics are all being arranged by votes and it's confusing the hell out of me 😂

No. 
 

it’s really not that confusing, most applicable answer should be the first reply

I also didn't have a clue wot that's all about... who decides what's most applicable, is it the number of votes up or down that determines the credibility of the answer then?

I don't get it either . The picture of the ring barked tree pops up at the start of every page and the replies  seem to keep being rearranged in a different order . But hey , I am old .

exactly, its the number of votes. This system is only active in the homeowners section and means the first answer they see will be the best one, providing members don't abuse it by voting up their mates posts.

Ok, I can see how that might work for homeowner advice questions if there are definitive answers, but it might get very confusing if there are multiple opinions or the correct answer is unpopular.....but that never happens😁

The bit that loses me is when people ask questions because the homeowner never covers all the info in their origional post so it gets muddy 😂
