The suggestion is pretty simple, so here it is: when we see a forum, we see Open and Closed topics group together. We see it like this for example (someone can PM me gfx to show what I mean and I can add it here lol):

EDIT: adding graphics (ty to krazi_mofo111):

[Top of page]

Closed
Open
Open
Closed
Closed
Closed
Open

[Bottom of page]

But my idea is to make it look like this instead:

Open
Open
Open
Closed
Closed
Closed
Closed

The idea is to re-order how we see topics so that while Open and Closed topics would be sorted by date, the Open topics would be seen first.

Potential Problem: this "bumps" old open topics up a lot.
Potential Solution: make it work day-by-day or month-by-month, based on Last Post. Day-by-day assumes people will Track topics.

PRO: This helps in forums like the trading forums, where closed topics still appear above open topics, and in off-topic forums it might be nice because some of them get ugly.

Thanks for looking at this suggestion. It would involve a big change in how each forum looks, so for that reason I worry that it might be "too big" to be pretty. Thanks for any comment/votes
