Gregg Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron L Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) 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.

Peter Lombardo Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxdude Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 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. ff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWood Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairus Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Probably should take the poll ... BEFORE CHANGING THE FORUM!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 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? 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.

mr moto Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I guess there's not any way that we could each select the format that we like, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_R Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 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 !!! Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didgeytrucker Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 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.

BigPoppa Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
