"Obit corner post order"
 
   It seems that the order of posts in the Obit corner, not counting the latest one for Carl Weathers, is going from oldest to newest instead of the usual newest to oldest. Figured I'd point it out.

   Yeah, unfortunately, perhaps because of how it was done - moved in order of being marked or moved - all of the moved posts are kinda stuck where they are. It's a quirk of the old forum code, I bet. I don't know if dcforum even exists anymore, and this version is old even then. Considering how much work (and despair, mostblikely) it was to get them there in the first place, might be best to just leave them, I say.

See, what happens there is when you use the admin tool to move a bunch of posts from one forum to another, they appear in the new one in reverse order. The ones in Eyrie Motors are in the right order because I accidentally moved them to the wrong board, and when I moved them again, it re-reversed them.

In theory, I could do the same with the obits, although to get them back onto the Corner forum in the right order now that I've put them there in the reverse one, I'd actually have to move them to another board, then ANOTHER board, and then back to Corner to get them in the right order and the right place. And since there are 203 of them, that would be... a lot of clicking.

   650-odd clicks and the off-label use of two old hidden forums later, here we are. If I missed any that are in other forums (I think there are a few in UF Source, for example), they're staying where they are.
