Do you mean the old way at the old forum?
I'm totally fine with the current default; updated threads moving to the top. It's the way 99% of forums work and I think it just makes more sense. I already feel like threads with new posts not moving to the top is primitive. (Why would I want to scroll page to page 3 or 4 just to see if anyone has added a post to an old thread?)
I've also become used to the way this new forum sorts threads by "Last Post" vs "Creation Date" used in the old forum. It does make it easier to catch up on all of the replies.
The first few days it was a bit annoying because it seemed like there were some date problems bringing up some old posts, as well as spammers / AI Bots replying to very old threads, but now that things are getting more normal it seems pretty natural to me.
In one earlier post of mine, which may have disappeared when the "General" forum got nuked, I compared this sorting order change to when Apple changed the scrolling direction of the trackpad. Shocking at first, but over time became more natural.
