I dont know. Its always just there for me. But then I usually edit what it gives me. Im too much of a hacker to accept defaults.

2. I still havent been able to figure out how to configure the Posts to appear in the right row. I mean when I click on a single-page post from the main menu it shows the Last post first, which isn't a real problem I just scroll down to read the others, but when I click on a multiple-page thread I often cant figure out where it begins: clicking page 1 from 2 pages often gives me the Last page and not the first page (but not always?).

I havent tested it but I see from others that hitting the "printer friendly" Version gives you the order you might be more used to.

ugh! too bad printer friendly is viewer unfriendly hehe...

THanks!
Havent found the printer-friendly Version -- sorry, where do I find that?

It is a real headache to browse the forums. I didn't pay for the hardware to run the server, the bandwith the site uses, or the UBB license. People have a right to configure what the pay for however they want to.

But its like trying to read an english book written in the Japanese format.

PS. Where is the printer friendly Version option?

Printer Friendly is at the bottom of this page on the Left Side. Took me a while to find it again, but that's because I use the classic now that I've gotten used to it, and like it quite a bit.

Arg my eyes!

yeah, I wish I could configure this forum the "normal" way, first post at the top.

I asked the same question when I first came here. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any function to make this "reverse forum" display correctly. Which is really strange, since it uses UBB code, which in every UBB forum I've ever been to always lists Posts first-to-Last rather than Last-to-first. You get used to it after a while though.
