Option to change post display order within thread...

[glr]

Forum URL: huskerpodium.proboards.com

I have users asking for the ability to have the most recent posts in a thread be at the top of the thread, rather than the bottom - i.e., just reverse the order.

While personally I think the way it is by default is the best, I'd like to respond to their requests if possible.  I've searched, but haven't found anything like that in the plugin library.  Is there any way to be able to offer that option and let the user pick it within his settings?

Thanks in advance...

Hey there glr,

While it's not currently possible to configure a thread to display the most recent posts first, many users have requested this in the past. With that in mind, I'll mark this thread with a Feature Request label so our dev guys will see it when they're looking for new ideas for future version updates.

Thanks David, appreciate it.

glr, I know you don't want it forum-wide but rather user-specified, but until that option is available, you can reverse the order forum-wise with this modification. Just an option for you. =)

Keep in mind that code will only reverse posts on the page you're on, I.E. it can't grab the last post in a multi-page thread and make it the first post.

Thanks for the options - yes, I think its only a minority who want it that way among my users, and they definitely want the multi-page thing that David mentioned...
