I just found out that we have the option of having the comments in the forum posted from first to last (like it is now), or last to first.
As it is now, the benefit is you can read the original comment by clicking on the title, but you have to click the little page thingy at the end to read the most recent comment, and scroll to the end.
If we switched it, you'd see the most reent comment at the top of the page by just clicking the title. To see the original comment that started the thread you'd have to scroll all the way down or click the last page.
I think I just made that sound a lot more complicated than it is.
At any rate, it's not real important to me, but since the option of having the most recent comment show first is available to us, I thought I'd tell you all and see what you feel about it.
Is everything fine as it is? Do you want to try the other way for a few hours and see if you find it easier to use? Do you want to donate to the "Buy Jim a mazerati so he doesn't have to drive a soccer mom van his whole life" fund?
These are questions that need answers! (especially that last one)
I think we have the option of changing that for our personal settings too, or we did at one time. I tried it at one time and didn't like it. I prefer reading things in order, even if I have to scroll down.
But at the same time, now that I think about it, I hit the End button as soon as I get into a thread and scroll up to find the last post I read, so having it switched isn't really much different than what I do anyway.
just checked and there is an option to change the setting in our individual settings, so I guess it makes no difference really as we can just change it, I like it the way it is.
Okay, found two problems right off the bat. The quick reply is still at the bottom, and I have to remember to hit page 1 of the multi-page threads, not the last page.
It's not easy either SG. I tried for about ten minutes but couldn't stand it. My mind is used to reading it a certain way, it was really uncomfortable trying to reverse it.
