Default how to get the newest threads in any forum

I have seen many times, that others are frustrated, because they can't get the newest threads, and this is what I have discovered and it works for me. The only problem is that you have to do it every time you visit a forum. It does work with all of them, pictures, main, recipes, etc.

Go to THREAD DISPLAY OPTIONS
This is found at the way bottom of every forum that you go to.

The first option box is SHOW THREADS FROM THE:
And you can click on
Last day
Last 2 days
Last week
And so on

The second option box is SORT THREADS BY:
And you can click on
Last post time
Thread start time
And so on
I click on thread start time, so I get the newest thread, not the newest posts to a thread.

The third option is to choose ASCENDING or DESCENDING
And you want to click on descending, because this lists the newest thread first.

Then click on the blue box on the far right that says SHOW THREADS

Good luck and I hope that I have explained this clearly. When I have been finding hints like this, I copy and paste them to a word document and print it out for future reference. You can't believe the stack that keeps growing on my desk, because I really don't want to give up on this board, because of all the changes.
