Bitcoin Forum

The default sorting is by which topic has the newest reply, I want to see the newest topics posted. Where's the sort button?

To know about new topics on this forum, the best way is to use Ninjastic Telegram bot. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248878.0

Or you can go to each boards and enable notifications. But if you do not click on the last topic on the board, it will not notify you of new topics. This is the reason I prefer Ninjastic Telegram bot.

You should just use the telegram bot and track the board you wanted to know if there are new topics created in there. Normally, new topics created in a board will display in the first page below the pinned topics and it will only moved once a different topic has new replies. Take this topic for example when I am going to post this (during typing) then this topic will be shown first. You'll see It when you reply here in this topic.

Yes the best way is to use the telegram bot and simply get information on the various boards but if you insist about getting the direct sorting on the forum then you can simply follow the guide on this thread, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3158138.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3158138.0).
The thread gives you code that can help in sorting the newest threads on each particular board from new to old. The only draw back is you need to have the code for each board which means that the telegram bot is a lot easier than this, but it still solves your problem.

You have to add the following code at the end of the link to that specific board you want to sort the posts


For example, if it is the altcoin discussion board. It will be;

Lol the link always brought me back here  ;D

@OP here's the official link of the telegram bot below

You can also try sorting boards to newest topic by using this link below as a sample you can add more board you want and it shows all unread newest topic.

- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unread;boards=6,37,4

These are wallet software, Bitcoin technical support, and Development & Technical Discussion boards you can add more boards as you want, look at another sample below

- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unread;boards=6,37,4,1,24.0,85,39,222,223,40,14,12,8,98

Unfortunately, there's no sorting feature for topics/new thread just like the recent posts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent). Its either you can set forum email notifications for every new thread on specific board by clicking the "Notify" button on the board you want or use the telegram bot as mentioned above and set notifications you want.

What do you specifically mean by "sort by newest topics"?

As a rule, all boards are ordered by the most recent post/topic.
But, you can adjust this here:

I wonder, why users create an alt just to ask this kind of question. Are you embarrassed that other users will make fun of him or lose trust in him?

Well, I don't want to keep raising false accusations here, regarding @hexagonist
I apologize in advance.

But I think it's strange for a new user, in their first post, to ask this type of question. Just that.

What OP is looking for is not the newest post but rather he wants the sorting to be on newest thread or topic created which is not what the forum setting has, the post time takes precedence than a thread. Also I cross checked your suggestions by click the last post icon and the change of arrow means it was actually from the oldest post to the newest posts, or say the sorting changed from descending order to an ascending one or vice versa which wouldn’t help the OP.

Regarding members actually having to create a questionnaire threads with new accounts I think it just in line with the forum rules of alt creation to help protect their privacy, although I don’t see reasons too why threads like this should be even on alts accounts because I don’t see anything about it related to privacy, an old member can still use his account to ask questions like this too. But maybe OP thinks otherwise

At each board, you will see columns with headers like
At the column with Last post, you can click on the arrow Up or Down and you will get two following links in the web browser url.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=last_post
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0;sort=last_post;desc

The first link filters oldest replies in the board.
The second link filters newest replies in the board.

You can use the Arrow, change it to Up or Down, or use the direct link with
at the end of an URL link.

Thanks, that worked.

You can get newest replies on a specific board.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;boards=24

boards=24 means the Meta board, and by using this url link, you will be directed to a page with newest replies on Meta board, and you will see post titles too. Post titles can be the same as topic titles or different, depends on whether the poster customize the post titles or not.
