Most recent post at the top

Is it possible to have the most recent post show at the top?

Hi,

It wouldn't be possible to reorder an entire thread, at least not easily as a part of the base software. I believe there are some members who might be willing to share the code with you if you ask!

Thank you for your reply. I may have to look for different forum for our small group. We don't need or want different threads and are used to having the most recent post at the top.

A couple of things which may help.  On any given thread which has new posts in since you last looked at it, will have a 'new' icon alongside.  If you click on that icon, it will load the topic to the first unread post.  Second thing is the last post information for that topic.  If you click on that cell it will open to the last post in the topic.

debiraitz , I understand something new can be disconcerting. However I hope you and your group will give the forum a chance and hopefully in time find more benefits that outweigh the things that you are not used to.

Regarding the order of posts, most find that when reading a new thread or catching up on unread posts in a single thread, that reading in order from oldest to newest is a familiar action that makes the process easier.


Here's some helpful tips regarding new posts in a thread:



A. Clicking on the new icon will take you to the first unread post of that thread.
B. Clicking on the thread title will take you to the first post of that thread.  
C. Clicking in the Last Post cell will take you to the last post of that thread (which is the most recent post made in that thread).
