Some post in some threads read new to old and some post read old to new.

It's rather confusing. I like the post to read from old to new.

I looked around and can't find a way to change it.

Hi David

That was my doing. I suggested, wrongly, that changing the post format would keep new posts from being buried. But that caused folks to find themselves on a new post w/no prior reference point. I've asked Henry to change it back and I think it shouldn't be too long before he does. He has been busy elsewhere.

My goal was to have posts formatted in a way that each page kept the descending order as they moved back. If you look at the longest threads you'll notice that the latest post is buried a long ways. In shorter threads it is less evident. But a longer thread can be several pages away from the latest post, hence the need for the 1st post reminder.

I was hoping Henry could use the editor functions to align posts in a more user friendly way.

Oh well...

One has to remember that Henry is still learning, he hasn't been an Admin very long. . and I have no idea how this forum works..

All of the phpbb forums that I've been a Moderator/Admin are set up differently based on what level of phpbb the Owner chose.

Henry is doing great. . he hasn't clicked the wrong button yet. Fingers crossed. Smile

Thanks, guys. I don't care which way they go so long as the whole board is the same.

I do like the new post up top. They can get long sometimes. I generally hit that new post icon though.

Hi Wyz

I'm wondering if editorial privileges can be shared w/moderators. You can play around w/the editor and see what options this forum has. The best format would be for each page to keep a descending order w/the last post determining the start of the next page. Sorta like Web-Nuts had it. I do hate the 1st post reminder!

Lol!

It's worth a try...

Well I made some adjustments . feedback is needed .

WYSIWYG mode by default in the posts : What You See Is What You Get is in place , let me know if it effects anything .

It's most definitely cleaner on the Index board. .but the "critics" aren't here yet, and I bow to them. :hattip:

Perhaps, we can attract more ppl to view/post once it's set up for further enjoyment?

Ok, I am easy to get along with. Obits probably would be better for new post first and the rest the same.
10 post per page is good Smile

Thanks, Henry
