Seems I haven’t seen and replied to some questions…!

What about sending regular updates about recent discussions to those who already are registered in the forum? For example once a week.

You can subscribe to the forum or individual topics on the top right corner. Then you should get mail notifications. I think you also get them if you started a topic.

Isn’t that what an “RSS feed” is (the orange icon up in the corner)? I think Malte knows.

RSS is not the same but can be used like that with an RSS reader (same for the RSS feed of posts on the site itself). It does not require registration as it is public for public content.

Is there a way to show the most recent posts at the top of the list? I thought that most message boards did that by default.

Actually that descending order is the default order for blogs and other general news sections but no forum I know does that. All use ascending order as that is the “discussion or reading order” of course. There is no setting for this.

On the forum page the topic with the latest reply will be at the top and on the right you can click on the date
