I have a question. Is it possible to set it up some way (maybe in profile) so that the newest posts to threads automatically show up on the top of the screen when you open a thread instead of at the bottom?
I know you can change it at the bottom of each thread but can you make it somehow so its always that way?

I'm not sure... Sam had some guy come over here last night who seemed to know these boards really well and he answered some techie questions... maybe she can lure him back over here for some more answers?
What did she call him... the OG I think... |

The OG is ignoring me at the moment. That happens a lot, actually ... I suspect it has something to do with Boy ... either that or a webpage revamp.
I thought there was a way to do it, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.
In the mean time, you can set the forum to display only one day's worth of posts instead of everything (down at the bottom of the list of threads) and if you click on the arrow next to the name of the person who sent the last post, it will take you to the last post in the thread (then you just need to scroll up to see if that was the only new post).
Let me poke around some more (and throw things at the OG)

Nope..there's no way that I've ever found to reorder posts within the individual topics in these PHP message forums. Only new topics will show with the newest at the top, but not the individual threads within the topic.
And..for the record...the OG is female. ~chuckles~ Boy is my son, Marshall (there's a Tarzan joke in there somewhere). And yes, I do webdesign for a living....
Sid....stands for Sidhe.... |

Okay ... no, it doesn't look like you can set it to list the newest post first.
HOWEVER ... there is an option to get a list of 'posts since last visit'
When you are in the forum index (where it lists the four different sub-forums), to the right and just below the Log Out link, there is a list of three options: View posts since last visit, View your posts, and View unanswered posts
If you click on View posts since last visit, it will give you a reverse chronological listing (newest first) of all the posts that came in since your last visit (obviously) in all the forums.
Then you just have to look for the oldest of those new posts, click on it and it takes you right to it.
Kind of a pain in the butt ... I just click on the arrow next to the name of the last poster to the thread and scroll up if I have to.

There is a Tarzan joke in there ... but not one to be made when T is anywhere within earshot. I don't feel the need to feed him straight lines.

and one of these days I'm really going to get curious as to what that means and how you came up with it.
