Root Sub-Forums Moved Below Other Threads

I'm sure it's in one of the MANY Stickies that I've not read but, why are the Root Sub-Forums at the bottom of the screen now below the other threads?

This is a major PITA. It's much easier for people that don't care about root to scroll past 2-3 threads that have to do with root than for people that care about root to scroll to the bottom of 4-5 stickies and 50 threads.

I know, I know there is a link that takes you to the bottom, but it's a hassle to click that to see if anything new has been posted and then have to slide your browser back to the top.

Just my $.02 but it's frustrating for a user that's here pretty much all day everyday. If possible, please change it back.
 
You now have the option in your UserCP "edit options" section. :)

("Thread Display Options")

I personally still feel there is a problem. What I notice is that we are starting to get more and more root posts in the main forums because newer people (or newer to rooting people) don't notice there is a dedicated root forum.

No, it's not a really huge deal, but in the interests of useability, I really think it would be helpful to have the default be the root forums at the top of the page leaving the CP option to change that.

Just my 2 cents. :)

This is a main job of the staff here to get them moved to the proper local. If you have a second for those, hit the Report button and type in something like "Should be in the root subforum".
Anything is appreciated, thanks! :)
