Nope nope nope...

I'd much prefer it as oldest first, newest Last. That way, you can actually follow the FLOW of the discussion without having to do a stutter-step-scroll to read long Posts.

The only time this order has ANY advantage is when you were the starting poster or where involved in the discussion from the beginning, and there is no need to review the original question.

The worst thing, though, is when the post goes onto a second page. Then I have to click on the page button to read the original question and figure out what the people on page 4 are talking about!

On some other forums I frequent, they have a nice feature where you can jump straight to a particular page of a thread from the forum list. In the list of thread titles, in addition to number of replies, thread starter, etc, it lists the page numbers as links; 1,2,3 if it is a 3 page post, and if you know you've already read all of pages 1 and 2, you can click directly on page 3 and skip to the most recent discussion.
