Oldest to newest or newest on top?

Why would you want to see the first ones on top?

that depends on what's considered 'backwards'

I always want the older ones on top, so I can just read the thread right through, beginning to end. If I just want to see the last thing posted, I just scroll down to the bottom - it's only 1 click away.

And some threads are funnier that way, with the way the discussion goes.

Ummmm, backwards is backwards. The first post belongs just where it is - the first post. How does the first post being LAST make any sense? Then if you want to see what the original poster said you have to scroll to the bottom. wtf?

no wonder so many people post seemingly without knowing what's going on .. ugh.

Wow, there are a lot of people who like to read threads backwards?

I suppose that allows for more efficient neffing.

It's something a lot of older users did back when the forums weren't lightning fast. 😛 I started doing it back when I was reading all the Buy.com threads, and had already participated in the beginning of a thread - so all I wanted to see were the most recent replies.

It works well for me, but confuses a lot of people. To each his own.

Are we talking about threads inside a forum or posts inside a thread?


Threads in a forum --> Newest ones first. The hottest deals are always near the top 🙂

Posts in a thread --> Newest ones last. I like to read the full story.

Yup, same here, it just confuses me too much the other way round!

Ditto. That's what I've gotten used to over the years. Makes the most sense to me anyway.
