Format of Posts on Forum

[Gregg]

Would you guys like to see the order of posts Ascending or Descending?

The newest post in the thread on top?

Or the first one, the original one on top, then scroll through the replies?

Uhm, your list is in the opposite order of the poll's list. That mislead me for a minute.

Besides, there's already a button to go to the end of the thread.

edit - This is confusing. It's like reading a book backwards.

Personally, I like it just fine the way it is. I like to see the beginning of the thread as I log into, in case I joined the flow a little late. The way it is now, I just scroll down and follow the flow from start to current. But that is only my humble opinion.

This is very confusing. If you come into a thread that you have never read it reads backwards and you have to scroll around to read what was said originally.

If it's a thread that you have been participating in I could see the advantage of not having to review the exsisting messages. But with the buttons to get you to the end of the thread no problems.

I must say that I liked the old way better. Oldest to newest. Also the number system makes no sense. The newest post to an old thread is labeled #1 when it's actually #10 or 25 or 147.

The Original on top, I'm just a creature of habit, it would take me too long to get used to the other way. and it is some-what confusing. I would get used to it if I'm out voted. Ya cant get rid of me that easly.

[Jairus]

Probably should take the poll ...

BEFORE CHANGING THE FORUM!!!!

Don't fix it unless it's broke. It weren't broke.

The way this post is set up doesn't make much sense. There's a reason most forums have the original post first, and all other subsequent replies in order below it.

If you could arrange it with the original post first, then the replies in order from the newest down to the oldest, that might be okay.

Do we read a page in a book from the top down...or from the bottom up???

My vote: If it ain't broke...don't fix it.

[BIGTRUCK]

The way it was before was fine....if your bored go build something , I can live with it either way , but like the original post on top..

The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west. Please leave it alone.

[James2]

Better the way it was

[mr moto]

I guess there's not any way that we could each select the format that we like, is there?

[Brian_R]

It sure is hard to open a new thread and see the last response first.

Then you get to wonder what are they talking about?

In favor of the old way !!!

[didgeytrucker]

Oldest post post at the top, where my browser loads the page, so I can read the original post. As I scroll down the page I see the replies in order.

Don't mess with it. Just because the program has an option doesn't mean it's a good one.

They have meds for that, Mr. Whistle

[BigPoppa]

leave it the way it is, whatever it is

how about losing some of the pinned topics. I think the July 11th maintenance can go

[lordairgtar]

I like the idea of the original posts first, but I have seen some forums that take you to the next post after your last read. I like that. That is like having a book mark.
