There is already a setting for that in your preferences. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Martin Sent: Friday, October 12, 2012 9:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] Message Board Change request (#3 fix read thread placing)

At present, with "oldest post first" you are taken to the very start of the thread which then requires multiple clicks through the paging to get to the end of the thread to add a post... All rather cumbersome and time consuming, especially on mobile devices!... All this really comes to the semantics of "oldest post first". I use and translate the "sort" setting "oldest post first" as actually meaning "chronological order" or "top -> down posting order". Note: NOT as described on the forum settings and NOT as programmed... In the strict sense, "oldest post first" isn't that useful for normal forum use/interaction. However, "top -> down" or "bottom -> up" posting is more descriptive phrase but that also can be misinterpreted... Regardless of descriptions and semantics... Always position to either the latest post or the first unread post please?
