Reverse thread replies order?

[Richard]

I want the old order back. The new format is confusing as I'll get out and a pain to click once to open the thread and then on large threads guess which page you need to be at in order to see the Posts you haven't read yet.

It should be easy to fix in MySQL...In your query statements just change the sorting order from ASC to DESC or vise versa...

Actually it is very easy, making it user configurable will take a little time. And yes we have to do that because as much as the se4 crowd, and myself personally remember that, likes the reverse order it is the number 1 complaint we have on the forum period, since almost no other board I have ever seen does that.

But keep in mind we all like the reverse order, I hate this new way of presentation.

Woot! Richard you rock. It is good to hear that you will be bringing it back.

Of course, once it is an option it will slowly die out, as new members come to the board and do not choose the strange 'senseble order' option. But as long as it's available to those of us who dig it it's all good.

By the way, Richard, I have sent you the screenshot and I'd love to hear if there's anything you can tell from it and, Annette, your suggestion is a more palettable workaround than the one I was useing. Thank you.

It looks like you can do this now. It's in your user prefs and you can have it display newest or oldest post first.

Probably already known by others but I just fond this myself...

Yup that works now. At the top of the forum Richard left a note saying that he fixed it...

There is a new configuration in your MyHome that will allow you to select the way FlatMode Posts are displayed. This will allow you to select if you want to see Newest Post first or Oldest Post First. Thanks Richard Arnesen

No more need for this thread to exist anymore; I don't suppose someone can lock it down?
