Without a doubt when looking at a post, the comment that started the thread should be first.
It should run from oldest to newest.
I think if they were all like this back the front post it would be almost enough to make me give up looking at them.
With the forum I believe they should be sticky threads on top, then other post in the order of the most recent activity. At the bottom of the page it gives the option to change this.

Profile->Preferences->Thread Display Mode->Use the drop down box to choose 'Oldest Post First'.
Sorted!

No problem. Glad to be of assistance.
I went looking for the option when I logged on here and spent the first two minutes thinking that I'd lost my mind. It was all a bit like that film Memento...

Hi Rick,
When you open a forum subject if you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page,
select from drop down boxes.
Last Message Time & Descending Order. Then click Set Options.
Wait a bit and they will change so you have sticky threads, with most recent activity to the top followed by all the other threads sorted so the most recent replies are on top and work there way down.
Nearly drove me mad until I found the way to change it.
The only other thing is once you have set it, click on the forum tab or your profile or something if you use the back button on your browser it will undo the changes you just made and go back to alphabetical order.
Hope this helps.
Steptoe.

Turns out you can click on the poll result i.e. the number of votes for each option and it displays who voted for it....who would have thought - so much for poll anonymity...
Anyway.......Get your pitchforks and torches together people time to run these nuts out of the village !!!

Yeah sorted mate
But why did we change it ?
If the option was always there then those that wanted to live in an upside down world could... without effecting the "normal" folk

I appreciate the reply. But like you said if I go back or open another window I have to keep changing the setting. And EVERY TIME I LOG IN I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. Hopefully the admin can fix this so it is a permanent change once the settings have been adjusted it stays that way even when logging in and out

I don't have a problem with the poll results being viewed, so why should oz surfer, I imagine only Gold or Legends could view this information and now that everyone can set their preferences to view the forum how they wish, I think the poll has achieved its aim.

Also I believe there was (Even if a tad small) a notice in the voting area saying results were for public viewing or some such similar disclaimer

So where is this "preferences" button located? I have searched my profile page twice and can't find it.
By the way, every other bulletin board I have ever seen operates "earlier posts first" so I am not sure why this one was changed to run "backwards"

Well done MAK - a couple of good screen shots.
I have no problem with the poll result being seen - just seems strange that you can that's all.
.....Oh and Jonhlou, no need to worry, you won't be run out of the village. Who would have thought it would be so hard to get an angry mob together at 11pm on a Tuesday night in Perth...you're safe in your castle for the time being...
