There's a new config feature in your MyHome that will allow you to choose how Posts are shown in showflat (ie Newest or Oldest First).

Awesome!

Slight problem though. When there are new Posts in a thread, if you click on the main thread title, it automatically sends you to the first page with a new post. When you have the Posts displayed in the correct order (ie: newest first), this still happens. If there are 2 pages of Posts and one new post, clicking on the main thread title sends you to page 2, which only has old Posts, rather than page 1, which has the new post. Certainly, this can be worked around by always selecting the page 1 link rather than the main thread link, but it is going to be a source of confusion for some.

Fyron, I have noticed this only happens part of the time. Sometimes it works just fine for me and others it does not. I have not been able to determine what causes it to work and what does not but I am sure there is something there doing it.

If the thread has only a single page, it works perfectly. But if there are two or more pages, and new Posts on only one page, the bug crops up. It needs to be able to handle the reverse post order.

Another bug when using reverse order mode:

If a thread has 2 pages of Posts, and there is one new post, viewing page 1, which has that new post, does not update the new post indicator. If I view page 2, which would have had the new post in the oldest to newest order, it updates the new post indicator, even though that page doesn't actually have the new post.
