This forum is definitely upside down. It is no big deal now but it will become impossible when there are multiple pages. Apparently some folks like it this way. Ideally it would be a user option.

I agree. It is upside down. If I click the last page number on top I will have to scroll to the bottom. Not a lot of work, just annoying. If it can be fixed could it be looked into??

Another question for CK -- Can we get the link to following pages moved (or duplicated) at the bottom? I scroll down page 1, then have to go back to the top to jump to page 2, etc. Yes, I know, hit the Home key and I'm there but it would still be nice to have the page links at the bottom and top.

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. I for one am VERY grateful that you decided to step up to the plate and take on this enormous responsibility. Even though its all new and you have lots of work ahead as you tweak it, I love it already and am good either way the replies get sorted. Whatever makes it easier on you, that you should do. I really like how you can use the dongles to emphasize portions of text...which is something that the other place was VERY limited in, being that you could only use caps, and too often that was mistaken for yelling! Thanks again, CK!! Blessings, Norm

First things first. We ALL have to adjust to a new website. Just grateful we HAVE a place that wants us.

There is no native option for last-first. Will try last-first plug-in next week.

you just don't want us all getting used to the first last option. There are other sites that use this exact format. I guess you just get used to it after a while.

The old forum was first-last, so everyone seems to want that, which includes me.

It took me a long time to start posting on the 'other' site. I had never done social media before... not FB or anything. It escalated and I gained lots of new friends over my almost 8 years. Got to know a few really well.
With encouragement from all of you, here I am and feeling Happy. Many THANKS CampKohler. It keeps the little grey cells working as I learn new things. I have spent quite a bit of time looking at what to do, how to post, etc. (Actually too much time as I really need to do other stuff and get out into my space I call home)
Looking forward to everything happening here. Thank you.

I suppose I'm used to first post first due to other forums, but to be just like <unnamed forum that will be abandoned> last post first seems more "at home"...
I would think this should be an option in settings, alas, since I don't have an account, no idea if there's already this feature.
(I wonder how long until I get banned for filtering websites that track the user, and thus banner ads... Fortunately posting anonymously helps against tracking...)

Maybe the first poll could be: Last post first, or last post last? Here is the proboards plug in:

Yes, it would be nice if the sort order could be changed so we could see the newest replies first without having to click on the last number showing at the top of the thread. Maybe in the future. . . . .

NUMBER ONE SUBJECT... It is just great that you STARTED THIS SITE for us. Thank you! You have some great additional options (color, fonts, attachments)!!!!! Do what works for yourself re: First, Last, First. We are all adults here and would do well to learn some new things!
