Would anyone else prefer to see the recent posts to forum threads at the top instead of the bottom of the page?

Especially for the longer threads, it would make using the forum more user friendly.

Think the way email is read, new stuff first......

Anyone, help me out here!!!!!!!

No, actually I like the way it is now. It takes you to the latest post in the thread when you click on it (last Post) anyway and then if you have to re-trace what went on before you can read top down... much better for me personally.

Go to Community -> Forum Profile -> Look and Layout and change the "Preferred Message Ordering" to "last post first"

Sorry, but I have to agree with Chris on this one. I like it the way it is.

Schmo.... no problem at all! We are creatures of habit and tend to follow the same route each time. If you hadn't noticed the Last Post link, you'd for ever be scrolling through from the beginning... which can be a pain... so no worries, you did the right thing by posting...I bet you are not the only one to benefit from your post.

Forum posts are often part on an ongoing conversation, which is why I prefer to read them in the order in which they were written.
