actually thats how any other forums work.
Not the ones i remember running  While the newest post first is a great way to view short threads, long threads become confusing because posts hop pages. Meaning that my post will be on page 1 today but possibly page 2 tommorrow. On ascending threads my post is always on the same page and I don't have 2 waste time and bandwidth looking for the post directly after mine. Because I know what page it is on. Each way has its pros and cons matters of opinion no doubt. There is no right or wrong way. I don't think he meant that, he meant the wording 'Previous Posts', because if it is acdending the posts arn't previous, as they happened AFTER the current post Exactly _______________ Bored of Psu Back to Gw I apologise in advance to all the people that will take offense to me saying my opinion. |

Currently, the majority of forums put older posts first. Although there are some that default to newer posts first. Its all down to the users preference as there are usually options to change how it works. Quote: I just find it annoying
Then change it in your profile settings instead of complaining .
