One thing.
« on: June 01, 2009, 10:16:59 pm »
On topics, I'd rather have the most recent posts come up on the first page, and the older ones going to the next pages. It really is confusing at times, and that quick update would be very helpful and would make it more convenient to read the most recent posts. that's what generally people would want. most probably.

sorry should've been more specific in that xD i mean the replies. see how my reply is currently the reply at the very bottom, it would be better if its position was at the top. i mean why would i wanna see the oldest replies? you know? if i was curious i would just scroll down and look at them, but the most recent posts is often what members/guests of a forum would want, more practical.

Actually, I disagree. Most (all? I'd be interested if you could find one which isn't) forums are arranged like this (and for a reason) - I prefer seeing what the actual question/initial post is and the first responses. Also, if you want to read a whole thread, it would be foolish to have to go to the last page, and then read 'backwards'.

Maybe there could be a setting you could change, or a button saying 'Reverse post order', but definitely not by default.

Yeah I agree with you-often when reading whole topics, you want the first post to be first and the last post to be last-makes sense that way?? And anyway when you click on a topic that you've been to and it has multiple pages just click the little page number box next to the topic for the page you want to go to-i find it good like this  :)

I think reorganization of the forum will fix this matter.
