A couple of days ago, I stopped being able to change the order of comments made on any posts. I was always able to select, from a drop down menu, "most recent*". That option has disappeared. As far as I know I haven't changed any settings. It is just me? *They call it "newest"

Time for a new laptop
I'm in need of a new laptop, I don't need a really high spec one, as all I use it for is shopping, general browsing, banking and storing photos.
