Not very many. Most people that have come to these forums over the years have not been so fickle as to leave just because they did not like the sorting order. The content is what matters, not the sorting order.

The "Printer-friendly" option is not optimal as it forces you to download the message again, increasing the tedium for us dialup cripples.
True, but it is an option.

Otherwise, remembering the failed upgrade of the board software just after Dom2 came out, does anyone know if he plans to try again?
The only thing that failed was getting the uploading script to work with the new forum script upgrade. Nothing else was a failure there.

Also, there is always the "end" key that will move the page to the bottom, preventing any doubled scrolling efforts at all. Doing this as well as using the Jump to New Posts link on every single thread page, helps a lot.
