Posts are backwards why?

Hi Jack,

Thank you, I found out about that crucial little icon on sissypigs about 5 nanoseconds after I posted this, so now I'm happier than I was. Thing I DON'T understand is why we don't have an OPTION to sort however we like. That way, everybody's happy. Well, as happy as we can be. (As in, you'll never please everyone.)

I've been on computers since the days of IBM 360s and I've never liked newest first listings. It's just plain counter-intuitive. It's one of the reasons I'm still on Usenet.

Anyhow, here's hoping the next incarnation of these Boards lets us choose our poison.

Ciao,
V'ger gone

Ditto, these backwards forums drive me nuts. I love lots of the games here but have to go elsewhere for forums that dont hurt my brain.

Why is it such a big deal? Read threads one way, read them the other way, makes no difference! The content is still the same. And, you can always use the "print" Version of threads to read them in the more common order.

It just really bugs me. And the printer-friendly thing adds a bunch of extra mouse-clicks to read/post which is just as bad.

Just a polite request to give us the option to view Posts in a manner conforming to the default setting of most other internet Boards. I own / maintain a UBB board myself so I know it is possible.

Conformity is not all it is cracked up to be...

An empty post. Interesting.
