Reverse thread replies order?

[Ed Kolis]

Say... would by it by chance be possible, if you can't make an option to reverse the thread order for those who liked it that way, to have the link with the topic's name as its caption go not to the first post, but to the first *unread* post, like ezBoard does? Pretty please?

There is a brief delay (Depending on your Connection) but after you've visited a thread before, and then revisit it after it has a new post, it will take you to the first unred post and not the very first post in the topic.

I think he meant, it would just automatically take you to the first page with new Posts. It would calculate which page that is on. If there are 17 new Posts and you have it display 15 Posts per page, you have to do math to figure out you need to click on the 2nd to Last page number. Why not have the forum capable of doing this for you?

The new Posts feature does not work in my browser - Mozilla 1.5. No number in parenthesis, no fancy colors. Any suggestions? Does reloading the page not work, do I have to exit the browser (or the page) and reenter?

? I don't think I'm understanding. If you have a thread that has say, 32 Unread Posts, and your post counter is set to show 15 Posts at a time and you've read 1 and there are (31) new. You click on the post name link (Not any number or Show All) and it will go to the page and post of the post Last viewed by you and it doesn't matter what page it's on.

Sorted in the other order is so much quicker to read, especially since I don't often get here any more, and I'm only interested in the latest post, not all of them.

The standard order (ie, the current one, newest Posts on bottom) makes a lot more sense for reading a thread through and is more intuitive: you read top to bottom.

The reversed (old) order did make more sense for long-Lasting threads with only a few Posts on it a day.

Overall though I think I'll actually use the forum more if it stays this way. :P The quickness problem can be solved with a jump to next unread post link, many forums have this feature.

I was just extrapolating on his post...
