I changed the Message Forum's search engine so it sorts the files by most recent to least recent. This doesn't matter for most uses, but should the "recent messages" page not have all the messages in it that were new since the last time you visited, you can use the search engine to get a reverse chronological listing of ALL the messages in the forum, thereby effectively getting a "longer" "recent messages" page:

1. Enter a single space in the search string box.
2. Hit the Search button.
