Thread sorting.

Can we puleeze make the default thread sorting be Start Time rather than Last Reply?

Or, make the default an option?

This is disturbingly reminiscent of the Achilles Lauro tragedy

where an Israeli in a wheelchair was tossed overboard. And now, 600 Israelis dead.

This could be real bad - can't help remembering that Israel has nukes...

Speaking of, north of the border:

The 2023 election for Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada took place on October 3, 2023, to elect the 38th Speaker of the House of Commons, following the resignation of Speaker Anthony Rota. This was held during the 44th Canadian Parliament.

The new speaker is the first black person to hold the post (and was elected on a single ballot).

Anyone getting this Avast anti-virus detection on DU?

"Connection to this website is not secure

Connection to http://nel.heroku.com/ has been blocked because the SSL certificate is not trusted."


I'm also getting DU page load failures due to "unable to establish a secure connection...." messages.

Aww, no aliens.

But don't worry, they will keep on searching until something is found!

DU4 Question

Just tried it - can't figure out how to set Start Time as the default message sort (was told in a previous thread that that would be an option).

Disputed disposition of a body question.

Anyone know how long a funeral parlor or crematorium will store a corpse in the situation of a contentious will in which many months may pass before an executor or estate administrator is assigned by the court?

We here were friends of a deceased person who died over four months ago and the court has not yet heard the case. One group of his relatives contends the body has been cremated and another says the funeral home is still waiting on instructions as to burial or cremation. We are trying to figure out what is going on...

TIA for any info.
