New reply first - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

sashime76 · 01-14-2005, 10:41 AM

I was thinking if it would be better to show newest reply first when reading replies? I often check replies on topics I have previously viewed. I think it's more convenient to list newer replies. Some topics have 3 or more pages full of replies, it'd be quicker to view the ones I haven't if they are added to the top of page.

If you do like I do and use the view new posts feature and then click the button next to the thread name it takes you immediately to the first reply you havent read.

But what about the people who haven't read any of the posts yet? Then they have to try and read everything backwards. It's easier for you to click once and go to the last post than it is for someone to read three pages backwards.

maybe just make it an option to sort whichever whay you want?

If you go to usercp and edit options, there is a drop down box under thread display mode where you can select linear-newest first. Is this what you were meaning??

I meant like if the column headers were clickable and then you could click it and sort either newest to oldest or oldest to newest.
