This is a upside-down forum, the first post is on the bottom of the Last page.

The upside down Posts are nice if you are following a topic with lots of replys. You dopn't have to jump from page to page to find where the new Posts begin.

I really like the upside-down threading, it's getting so that I'm annoyed at the forums that don't use it!

I'd like to see an option added to the forum preferences to let you reorder the lists.

If you stay up-to-date, it is awesome.

But if you don't... then, it is somewhat of a pain having to go back to the first page of three and start reading at the bottom.

I think sometimes people don't do that. But then they'll ask questions answered on the previous page of Posts in the thread. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Sometimes by page 3 I forget what was on the first few Posts. I am sure I have repeated myself a few times just because I didn't remember what I said 2 or 3 weeks ago on the bottom of a thread. But I am used to this format now and I like the check marks and x's telling you which threads are current.

Other forums have those checks but, they are sorta 'week old' Posts. I like it when it tells you if a post has changed since you Last read it.

It took me a while to work out who posted first, for a while my eyes went funny and I thought it started in the middle or somewhere wierd. . .

Anyway, I'm okay with it now, and its somwwhat better than other forums, but I prefer the top down, rather than bottom up approach.

I searched in the options to find if you could change the posting order, but you can't http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif - I think you shoudl be able to.
