You can go to "user cp"- then "edit options" then "thread display options - and you can select to have the newest posts come up first.

There is another option as well - if you click the little 'v' icon to the left of the thread title (instead of clicking the thread title itself), you will be taken to the first post you haven't read in the thread. I use that when opening threads.

Have a sticky with something like

"Did you recently join us, if so please introduce yourself

May not be a bad idea for this board

Personally I have a worse time with a "most recent first" arrangement. It's passable if you're reading all the time, but if you're new to things reading the most recent leaves no context, and going to the oldest page means starting from the bottom of the page in most systems. (See you tube)

Maybe the software has an option to make the order selectable? That could work.

I like Phil's idea, because one of the problems I have is if a thread has too many photos, it takes so long for my computer to download them that at some point I just abandon the thread altogether. Of course one solution is to get a better computer, but I'm too cheap to do that.

It would be good if clicking on a thread took one to the last read post. Seen that before elsewhere.

What Greg said +1. Even better, I would like to have the "View First Unread" option appear on the main page where all the threads are listed, because I use this option all the time; as it currently works, I have to first open a thread before I can click on this option, and this is a wasted step IMHO.

Always good to read all posts in a thread before replying. You already can do this.

Missed your post, sorry. Didn't know that. Thanks
