AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArgh!

I hate the post order!!!

The old post order was good!

New post order bad!

Need option! Can't breathe!

AAAAck!



No really, I was quite used to the old sort order, and once used to it, I really don't like this post order. I never want to re-read the first post in a thread I am revisiting, but this pretty much makes me re-read old Posts. Being used to the old post order, I hate this order, and I'm feeling irrational urges to do violent things to all the people who used to whine about the "backwards" post order. ARGH!

Ok, where's my Carmageddon install...

I have to agree, I just had to create a new post and make it a featured topic in order to keep the newest info on the top. No big deal, but still a minor inconvience.

Actually after you read the thread once and you have read Posts after the fact, it will autoanchor you to the new post. While it is semi-icky, it does make browsing topics you have already looked at, just as easy as before. (Well not just as easy, if you were used to it like I was, but not as ungainly as some other forums).

Nowhere near the ease that it was to read them before. The jump doesn't always work, and you have to wait until the page is completely done loading. With newest Posts first, you can read the newest post, if that is all you need to read, before the page is even done loading. And, the jump to newest is meaningless if you want to read the latest few Posts in a thread a second time later...

OK, I vote for the old way (reverse) order of displaying the Posts.

I also vote for the old system.

Also am I the only one where it seems the site rolls a percentile and on a 1-50 declares the page unavailable. I keep having to redo the pages until it rolls above 50%.

I visited Babylon5 thread. It was an interesting read, first dozen pages, that is. But I really wanted to read the latest Posts. So I clicked "show all". I think it is still loading in a parallel window [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]
