Most of the threads inc this one at the moment scroll down and remain thereafter one posts.
To add perfection: If you can sticky the original post above all the replies Then we'll all be stars.

Weirdness is right. Don't like it at all. Lot of extra scrolling to read longer posts. Imagine the majority will like it but l wanted to express my view. Also why bother putting up numbers of pages if we are just going to number 1? they are in the past and no longer relavent. Who has the most pages who cares? No points or anything.

...Don't kill yourself over this.... I just may, because after having beaten my head against the proverbial brick wall trying to get the plugin to work, everybody is complaining about the change in post order. You just can't win, I tells ya. So, I will turn off the plugin for now and you all can argue your philosophical positions and come to some consensus in this thread. Or else come up with some other method of resolving the members' will (a poll?). If you can sticky the original post above all the replies, Then we'll all be stars. Yes, I mentioned that, but it would have to be a suggestion to the plugin author; I don't have that skill set.

CK: As Rick Nelson once said: "But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well. You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself" This site is a great thing you have done (all on your own I might add) and I think people are losing sight of that... So whatever makes you happy, I'm going to roll with! Blessings, Brother!! Norm

Thanks for trying it out. As indicated earlier, once people get use to something, it's hard to make any changes. Even when the change is an improvement.

CK, Some are gonna like some changes, some are gonna like other changes and some don't want any changes. It's your site. Do what you think is best.

i think i'll leave it off 'til i get a reply on why it leaves the reader on the wrong page. And hopefully it could have a copy of the OP just above the newest reply just like at the other place. If that isn't possible, maybe the OP could be on a separate page that you have to skip over to get to the newest. such that you know that the newest will always be at the top of Page 2 (not quite as nice, but at least mentally doable). We'll see what is possible.

My vote is "leave it Off". The way you started this was just perfect, that is why you had trouble changing it. "You can't change perfection".. Smiles.

I seem to remember numerous complaints over at theplacethatshallnotbenamed.
In particular I remember when it switched to beta and the posts you had posted to were no longer highlighted and people had to bookmark them (before the favorite topics list).

I agree, so, Thank You!
Ps. My vote is to leave it off, but somehow have the OP always showing.

Forum isn't designed that way, and besides, a big OP would eat up a lot of the screen.

I've been wondering what will happen when a forum has many pages. Will they all still be accessible, including the first page with the OP statement? Seems like that could get very unwieldy. But I don't know much about these things.
And ditto CK, thanks, thanks, thanks!
I'm curious. I remember your avatar from the "old place" but didn't notice that the cigar was a bus. Was it always, or did you edit that for the current situation?

It had always been a bus, at least all the time I've seen CK's cigar the old forums...
I suppose now it has a double entendre.
