alteredpilot Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 i looked through the settings and i cant find if there is a way. if possible i'd like to set things so that the oldest post is at the top and the newest is at the bottom. thats pretty much the default on all the forums i use so i'm just trying to keep my world as familiar as possible. thanks.

alteredpilot Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Posted October 24, 2012 yeah, i was in there already. i guess this forum is just set up differently. none of the three settings was what i was looking for, but i'll just default to the one that's closest. thanks. Quote

thrashingcows Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 You need to go to the "User CP" on the left upper banner area. Then scroll down to "Edit Options" and click on this. Then scroll down to the third area it should say "Thread Display options" Then half way down this area you will see "Thread display mode"...click on the small drop down menu and select the "Linear-Oldest first". Now your done!.... Quote
claybill Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 WHY would you want the 'oldest first?' seems it would be less efficient.? bill Quote
Young Ed Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 I have mine that way too. I click on new posts and just scroll down from there. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 I have mine that way too. I click on new posts and just scroll down from there. Ditto... Quote
thrashingcows Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 Bless you!!! Your welcome. I too had a hard time with the board set-up when I first arrived. Took some time to figure things out. I too like the oldest first, and scroll down to the newest. Quote

Scruffy49 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 Thanks a bunch, haven't been on much because the upside threads were driving me bonkers. Now it's set up like every other forum I belong to. Quote
