When there is a new, un-read post in one of the Living World sub-forums (The Edge of the Mists!, The Origins of Madness) they keep swapping spots and bumping up to the top. This gets really annoying when taking note of an update to one of those sub-forums when their positions keep swapping.

I’ve now found that it doesn’t even require a new post for the order to swap. Simply refreshing the page with there being no new posts can result in the order being swapped.

This behavior seems to have been corrected.
Thank you, forum peoples.

I realize that this is bumping an old issue, but the same issue has returned and I thought adding to my existing thread would help offer insight into the history of the issue now that it has returned.


Simply refreshing the page results in the two Living World chapters to swap places back and forth.

It is pretty misleading and irksome when you intend to enter one forum (from memory of their set order) but they switch places so you occasionally enter into the wrong forum. Not as much of an issue now with these two releases as one has a yellow icon and the other has a green icon. However, this is the last of the yellow icons as all future releases will be green, so with the next release they will both be green and it will once again be more of an issue/annoyance.

I realize the Festival will be leaving soon and it will be removed from this area and archived, but I just wanted to inform of its return and it being an issue when there are two chapters overlapping and are listed at the same time.

I thought they switched from whichever was last posted in, thus bringing that one of the two to the top. As, for me, it didn’t happen on page refresh. But, who knows?
