I'm obviously not sure if this can be done, but is it possible for when we are replying to posts, to have the most recent post, at the top of the list of threads?
A lot of times when someone is replying, it is usually the most recent post that whoever, is replying to, so to me, it makes good sense to have that post showing first.
Whaddya think guy's!!! :p :p :p

While in theory it sounds like a great idea (especially for the Traveling Circus!!), I think it would be more confusing when reading a thread with more than a couple of responses. Kind of like reading a book and starting at the end and working your way to the beginning. I like that you can click on the name of the person who last posted and go directly to that message.

I agree with Tweak. You woul then have to Scroll clear down to the bottom and start reading upwards. I for one would rather start with the topic and scroll down and see what was suggested on the way down... Just my opinion though.......

Okay, I can see all of oyur points being fair, but I was thinking more on the lines that if someone has been helping someone else in a long thread, it is more likely that the "helper" is helping the latest post, which will always be at the bottom.
Just a thought, I'll keep me trap shut now!! :D :D :D

Ah, I figured out along time ago how to fix that problem. If I want to see the last post when I reply, I just stand on my head to read it. That works every time for me. :D

You people just make me laugh. :D
But seriously. Lufbra, I think if MishY changed the way the posts looked when we replied it would confuse people since every other forum that I have been to have all been the same.

Instead of having the posts with the most recent at the bottom OR the top...lets have them all in random order. Just in case the questions are too easy and you need a challenge. :D
