walkie you're back :) well not that you went anywhere… haha

and i fully second Jag's comments. even though it seems to make more sense, we are all lazy and i think that the most recent reply on top is the best. i hate to scroll, and i am lazy. also. maybe it is because i have a headache but i'm finding it straining to read off of the new format. i'm a bit fastidious today, so i apologize, but still, i miss the larger font. im young but my eyes are dyin' here!

Congrats on finally upgrading the software :) I would recommend you stick with keeping first posts first – it'll take some getting used to but it is like every other bulletin board in existence.

I also recommend you enable the "jump to new posts" feature, which will allow people to, well, jump to new posts. That should alleviate some of the concerns about moving away from the last-post-first format.

Also it would be cool to enable some of the profile features so people can reveal a little about themselves if they so choose….

I agree! :) I always did not like how I had to scroll all the way down when I'd be checking out a topic if I didn't see it for a day and then 40 some posts stacked up on top of it. It'll make most of the threads stay on topic since you can always see what the original poster was discussing.

Perhaps is there a way to set that up in the user preferences to keep the default with first message on top and then the user can switch it to see the late post first instead?

intr. & tr.v. sum·ma·rized, sum·ma·riz·ing, sum·ma·riz·es

To make a summary or make a summary of.

summerize

v : prepare for summer; "summerize your car"; "summerize a house" [ant: winterize]

hmmm….wonder what member number i am/was…..

so to summarize


Please can you make the last post first….. its very tiresome if you are posting regularly to scroll through everything, every time, just to read one comment.

It detracts from the quickfire nature of the board.

Sure it maybe better for people who dont look at the board ver often, but do you really want to reward people for not looking at the board very often?

overall, much better set-up…..we just gotta get used to it……

Have you tried using the jump to next post feature? It occasionally gets you to the newest post at the bottom of the list. Sometimes it takes you to your last post.

and change the color scheme or text tags on the icons so we can read them.

jump to last post is doubly annoying as I have to wait for the page to reload and then it doesnt actually take me to my or the last post…..

that means I have to scroll through all the posts just to read Jadetree calling me German at the very end. Its almost not worth it.

I much preffered it the other way around. It was good for getting a converation going. Now it is easy to miss new posts, especially with the frontpage summary not working.
