Is it just me or does it seem like the "new posts" section is acting a little odd? I've noticed that the top 50-75 posts are all older posts while there are a bunch of new posts with either no or just one or two replies buried a page or two down. I'm on the mobile version so I don't seem to have the option of viewing unanswered posts. Does this maybe have something to do with the spam that's been going on lately? Maybe removing hundreds of posts all at once is messing with the algorithm that orders the threads? Anyway just wanted to mention it in case there is anything that can be done about it. It seems like some newer folks who are posting pretty awesome q-views aren't getting any responses.
 
Hadn't noticed but I'll pay attention

Clicking on "New Posts".... all threads are shown with the "newest" post added to it... some threads are years old, but were added to, today, in the last few minutes....
