Can the order of the replies be reversed so that newest ones are first, like they are in the GB forums?

I think the admin has the option of making posts appear in ascending (newest posts at top) in the Admin panel

No, the order you see is how the software was written. There is a plug-in for the purpose that I will try when other work is done, but it will be a bit experimental, so not until things settle down.

Just found you here, through Claudie on AlpineDudes San Diego forum. I guess the discussion boards are going bye-bye soon?

New replies first will save time and is much more organized. Makes it easier to read and reply to posts.

CK considering this site is brand new and in its infancy, you can take as much time as you want until you're ready to explore the plug-in. If you discover that it would slow things down too much and isn't worth the trouble I'm fine with that. You have taken on an enormous responsibility in giving us a place to continue friendships born on the other site and I for one am thankful.

New replies first will save time and is much more organized. Makes it easier to read and reply to posts. That's the main benefit -- ease of reply. When I joined the other place in 2008, I was active on several other boards that handle posts the way it's done here. It was quite an adjustment, and I stumbled on my first post over there, not realizing that the last post was an old one! The benefit of the system here is that folks who are new to a topic are encouraged to read all the way through before posting. In substantive topics, that's a benefit. So often over there, we'd see first timers in a topic simply respond to the lead post, clueless of what had already been posted in response. Then someone would attack the first timer and the main discussion was lost. Stickershock is spot on that CK's doing an outstanding job here! :) Let's keep recruiting more buddies to land here!

On the left hand corner of the thread, directly under the title of the thread, there is the number 1 for a short thread and there will be additional numbers as the thread grows in length. As of this morning, there is already a thread with 6 numbers. To get to the most recent post, simply click on the highest number.

Have posted on many bulletin boards over the years Sure do realize the default setting is for the newest replies last. Yet in mere months from now, the very first posts will seen and folks would have to click on, say page 26 to read and catch up to speed. In a year or more, folks are not going read scores of posts. All boards seen in my 28 years of posting changed the format to the last post first. Somewhere the administrator has the power to change the format to last post is seen first. Or a plugin. Like the last replies first format, extremely. P.S. No rush at all Attachment Deleted

I agree - the format of last post is the first to see is much easier to use. If I knew how to message the administrators here I would do so....

The forums at the old site are the only ones I've ever seen with the last reply first.
I think you can click on the "NEW" to the left of each thread title and it will take you to the first unread post in that thrad since you last visited the forum.
