OT: Backwards Threads?

Viper1969 · #1 January 24th, 2003, 07:10 PM

I know, I'm a newb here, and shouldn't complain. But I don't think I've seen something so completely non-intuitive. To go to the bottom, scroll to the top of that post, read down and then move up to the next thread is just....unnatural. I realize that the newest post is at the top, but clicking the 'Last page' button is a lot easier than learning to read in a different manner. And, the 'print friendly' wipes out the sigs and everything else.

I implore any and all gods of this forum to make it an option.

Sorry for making such a negative first appearance.

On the other hand, it highlights the links better.

I don't like the reverse order much, either, although yeah you get used to it. Even if you only want to read the newer Posts, you still have to scroll to the bottom of the screen and read up.

Hey, but they are only Backwards if you are facing foward!

The threads aren't backwards. They're completely normal. Every other forum has backwards threads

At first I thought the backwards order was strange and awkward, but now I am used to it and I prefer it this way.
