Depends on the Boards you visit. Ive done customer suppport for many internet companies and this is the standard arrangment for support Boards. Its FAR easier for busy staff people to see the latest threads, and start with the latest Messages. That way they dont reply to the initial problem if there is a later post saying the person has found an answer which changed it abit. And multiple staff people can quickly see if another staff person has answered the ticket. Its a definate format choice for trying to keep staff and developers active in the forums.

But of course, thats an old and moot point. A couple of the forums have expanded into Community-Chat forums. And thats a good thing. Shrapnel has already decided to support that evolution with hardware/software upgrades including the purchase/install of software which will not only switch the sequence but apparently allows it as a choice.

The only concern now is switching over without any losses.
