Messages - newest first - how?

[dewalt]

I think the forum software for this forum is amazing (and the content even better, but that is a different topic). I use many different fora and this one simply stands out with the care and completness all the functions work. COMPLIMENTS.

I am missing the option to reverse date sort messages in a thread by default, so the newest message is on top of a thread.

My feeling this must be user error on my side, due to the completeness of functions on this forum, but I really cannot seem to find it). I will save me definetly a lot of (mobile) clicks.

Anybody?

I think he's asking if there is a way to have the most recent post in a thread show first without having to scroll down the page or flip to the last page of the thread. Reverse the order of the thread displays.

Moderator's Note: I have never heard of a forum that allowed you to sort messages that way ever (although that may be showing my age ?)

Here is my best suggestion to you. When a thread in a forum has replies you have not seen, there will be an icon to the left of the post that looks like two speech balloons from a comic strip. If you click on that icon, it will take you directly to the first unread post in the thread. 

Also, one speech balloon empty and one filled means you have not posted in the thread. Both balloons filled means you have. The threads that you have posted in that do not have new posts will show the two filled balloons bur greyed out.

So this was the trick I was missing. THANKS! As usual: great work!!!
