Does anyone else thing the most recent post should be on top and the original at the bottom? Other forums I read are that way, keeps you from having to fish through all the old stuff.  :old:

They do.But when someone replys to any post it brings it back to the top ,after a day it goes to next page unless someone replys to it again.

be nice to have as an option. like you say, its good if you want to just check the most recent posts, not so great if you want to read the whole thread tho.

really irritates me the way its done that way on youtube comments now, reading and scrolling bottom to top is unnatural and theres no longer a menu to change the order. that and the way the redesign removed the comment replys has rendered the comments almost useless. youtube comments were always idiotic, now their layout is too :rolleyes:

Hmmm, messages with "new" posts are listed first in each forum.  Each post with a "new" reply has a little button next to the title called "new".  Click on that little button and you are sent to the last unread reply in that thread.  Seems to work.

Ok, that's why I posted it as a question, rather than a gripe.  :old:
