It needs to change. If you don't accept this, well I am sorry for you.

Everything has its Pros and Cons. I can see your side of it.
Of course a support-format is done for the value of the time of the support people. Seeing the latest first, and then reading backward, helps to insure that responses are made only to the problems which need answered.
If it read from first to Last then you have to read the entire thread and get the gist of "never mind" or "ok I found this also" and "wait thats not it but now I have this". Its especaily an important format for keeping staff people and developers active in forums.
But as I said, the recognition that the forums have gone beyond "support" and into "community chat" has already happened. We are just being careful not to lose the wealth of information we have already built up as we move to the new software.
