I never use archive! The problem with it is that you only see the titles of the posts, not the names of the posters, or other info, and you can't hover over the title and see what the first few lines of the post are. Instead, I went to each section that I normally read (Main, Pictures, etc.) and I sorted that section by the time of the first post. Then I bookmarked that page using my web browser. Now I just go to my bookmarks and find Main, Pictures, etc. sorted in the way I want them, by time the thread was started.
