Is there a way of ordering the posts so that the last post is at the top, rather than the bottom? Some threads are getting pretty long and it is bothersome scrolling down through dozens of posts to see the last one.

Agree! We have the 'BACK to TOP' feature... is there such a thing as 'back to bottom' LOL (I've never seen one). Its wearysome to keep landing on page 1 when we click on a thread. but hey, re-training my eye-brain to LOOK at page count FIRST is slowly taking place.

| Actually, what I am asking for is the ability to sort the posts inside individual topics by ascending or descending order. |

A Topic is the “Subject” of a thread. To do it in the reverse order (putting replies first) would not be practical. For example; it would be like answering a question, before the question is known or read.

I beg to differ. When there are multiple comments and the thread takes the normal sidestep, it is more useful to read the last comment and the one before that and then respond.
Our other message boards for this community have both allowed for this change and the 100+ members of my new board are asking for it. PLEASE!! |

Sorry, but I’m not aware of any options that would enable the Admin to reverse the order of replies to a Topic. The forums’ properties are set up so that anyone reading a Topic (Thread) and its replies, and the replies to replies, are first come, then second, etc.
There is always the option for the Admin to close the Topic (Lock it), and start a new thread (Topic), should the thread become extra long. |

the only time we get to see last post/reply is right here, in the post/reply box (as i write this, i can see them:)
1) topic review (OP)
2) 5 or more latest replies.. (im looking at them right now)
bottom line, its exhausting.. running around trying to find last post, (I forget to hit pull down box that takes me to last page.. i set it up to 20... i wrote number in myself. '20')
Wes, do you have the number of posts per (cant recall exact wording.. its in admins, i changed ours from 10 to 30. Heck, I have increased numbers whereever possible in feature configs and main configs) |
