I need help with viewing threads

Stacef · 03-05-2008, 06:35 PM

Ok, This is going to sound so stupid, but on "site x" it worked a lot differently, or my computers screwed up!!

When I go in a view a thread, I want to see the LAST thing posted, on the top of the first page..

This happens what I post to, takes me all the way back. I have tried, oldest first, but that just puts everything out of whack (from what I'm used to)

So I changed my settings to newest post first. I always would end up on the 40th page, and have to click page one, and THEN the last post was on the top of page one.

What oh what do I do?

hmm...
If you go under user cp and options and change it to "newest first" you should see the newest post on the top of the first page it it just lists all the post in reverse chronological order.
Oldest first will put it in chronological order with the oldest post at the top of the first page you view....
I think you are looking for newest first right?

I just go to new posts then click the thing to go to the first unread post in the thread.

I may have been confusing

, or maybe it doesn't work this way here.. which is fine!! But, when I put "newest first" The newest post is the first post on the first page...but when you open the thread, your on the LAST page, and have to click to get to the post. Does that make sense??

I know what it is.
When you have the list of threads if you click the little down button it goes to the first post in the thread that you have not seen. If you click on the name of the thread it opens the thread at the beginning.
Is that it?

I think I'm misunderstanding you

If I have "linear post newest post first" enabled and I click on a multipage thread I go to the first page and then post on will be the most recently submitted post, at the bottom of the page is the oldest, page two continues on in that order.
It sounds like that is what you are looking for, but maybe not?

Put a timer in the bathroom, the family is now only aloud to take 5 minute showers, baths are out of the question. Tv time is cut to 1 hour a night, we have to make up for all of the lights/pumps/heaters/chillers/etc. running No more lights, duct tape all light switches in the off position. If someone needs light, they can sit by the tank. Sorry bunny, I sacrificed you to help others save money!
