I have figured out the problem. Normally, when you make a post, that post information is written to a file that shows *every* post you've ever made. This list appends your newest post to the end of the file, so, your posts are listed in chronological order. Unfortunately, when we do a function called 'rebuild user stats' it also rebuilds this file, reordering your posts by forum rather than date.

I have had to do several stat rebuilds lately because member files were getting messed up due to hard drive space problems we were having. Hopefully we have solved most of those problems and shouldn't have to mess with the stat files anytime soon. So from now on, unless we have to do a rebuild, your posts will begin to be listed in the correct order. But the list shows 50 posts, so until a person does 50 more posts you will still see some items on their list that are ordered in the wrong way as described above.

Hope that makes sense.
