Should threads be shown in ascending or descending order?

Ascending as its too confusing the other way round

What about putting in those little page numbers? would that help people?

Uhm, neither?

Maybe they should be shown with the last page first, but not the last message first. That sounds like a good option, considering it worked so far and it's used on almost every forum.

I think a lot of people were happy with the old forum, so why not purely implement this cosmetic change on that leaving the old style way of working and navigating?

Ascending. Its a pain in the arse reading bottom to top.

Ok, it HAS to be ascending, otherwise several topics make no sense. "Would you sleep with the person above?/Who would be perfect for the person above?/etc" are all screwed up.

Why have we got to have a new way of doing things? Everybody can use the previous system, just change the skin and be done with it. Don't make changes just for the sake of it.

Ok.....I have changed it back.

For the regulars the other order would have been better as most people already know the thread and want to see the new posts quicker.....


So why is it that nobody seems to be able to see the page numbers?

If a topics has several pages, the page numbers are listed on the top, next to the "post a new topic" "reply" buttons ......

I think they mean they cant see page numbers when you go to home page & look at topics........you can if you go to posts since last visit/my own posts

Yeah page numbers can not be seen under the topics section but if u click a thread then they do come up in the top right...

any chance we can have the page links for each thread in the topic summary pages? At the moment I'm clicking twice as much to get to where I want to go, which is only adding unecessary server load.

Also, be good to see who the last post was made by in a thread rather than who created the thread. I'm not really bothered who created a thread 2 years a go but would like to tell if there is a new post I want to see rather than trying to work out what time I last checked the thread.

Good work on the speed though. Much improved
