Posts are backwards why?

If fixing the post order is on your work queue, that's all I can ask -- obviously paying the bills is more important than this stuff. I would definite put in a strong request to upgrade when you have time available though!

I like the way this forum works.

It is against the mainstream, like the games that are sold here.

In any case, it seems like most of the Users would prefer to have at least the option to use normal sorting, according to the sorting poll. Myself included, as I find transitions between Shrapnel and any other forum after reading lots of stuff here rather confuzing. Having to shuffle up and down in threads with long Posts is also somewhat annoying. On the plus side, though, this is one of those rather few forums where interesting threads appear regularly.

Having the choice is great, but it would more than likely require the forum to be down for a significant period of time while they update the features. As we all know a down day at a busy forum can cost a company $$$ bucks and loose membership.

I like the the forum system as it is now.

The setup choices seem to be for ease of moderation. Not unusual for forums that expect rare Posts with few answers. Kindof a Customer Support setup. Most of the forums here seem to reflect that it was a perfectly reasonable choice. It looks like its only Space Empires, and moving up fast Dominions 2, which make it a problem. Those are spawning the kinds of traffic seen in general public conversation webBoards. Newsgroup levels of traffic.

IF the new Version of the board can be installed without loss of the content already in the forums, and it offers Users a choice, then Im all for it.

As I stated when that poll was created, it is irrelevant because it was not promoted to other forums on Shrapnel, so it did NOT receive a valid sample of votes from the forum membership. It was only voted on by those that happened to stumble in here, which most people do not.

Over in the Dominions2 forum we started pointing people this way when they start a thread on it. I had thought most of the forums where this conversation came up alot were doing the same. I guess we could post a note in the Moderators forum suggesting that.
