I think the problem is that for some it isn't a workable solution. After so many years of usenet and forums and so on, I like to have things in a 'oldest first' order (yes I know that more recent usenet software could do things either way as well).

So ultimately you have to choose which is more important - the order for viewing forums, or what you see when you click from the front page.
