That's why good forum software has a little button that takes you to the Last unread post.

And also why good software allows the user to select normal, or backwards, listing ... rather than cramming a preference down everyone's throats like it or not. And also gives you the option to display 10, 20, 50, 100, or more Posts per page. I'd rather scroll than load page after page after ...

Put me down on the "I hate it" list too.
I browse 20+ forums a day and trying to "change gears" in this forum is a constant irritant for me.

Re: Can I make this forum sort the "normal" way?
Post over in the Shrapnel Games forum regarding this, as they seem to be reading and responding there. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=67;t=000024
If it's that annoying, I suggest someone start a poll thread over there, post a link in all the other forums, and let the majority decide.

Let the majority decide what? 
Get a majority opinion maybe but unless the present software has an option for reversing that then I dont think it would matter much.
Even reversing it with this software might mean dumping all of the discussions so far. Definetly if new software had to be used.
One of the pros and cons of using newsGroups instead of web-forums. Each user can decide how they want to see newsGroups. The disadvantage is that so few Users can find newsGroups.
