RANT: Not liking forum thread order


Recommended Posts

I think the format for replying to threads on this board is confusing. If I respond to a post (especially by quoting), it is possible for my response to appear "before" the previously posted message. If enough responses are generated, a topic's responses can be "buried" in a nesting line until someone makes a new general reply. When this happens, it's possible for a solution (or other relevant information) to be hidden from a new set of eyes.

 

I vote that the board be modified so that all replies appear in chronological order rather than nested responses. Most boards I frequent follow this format which makes it much easier to follow a conversation. :cool:

Hello Eric,

 

You can change the thread display order for your account via a setting for your profile.

 

Select the "My Settings" menu and then select "Edit Options" from the "Settings & Options" area on the left.

 

Scroll down to the "Thread Display Options" section of that next screen and set the "Thread Display Mode" option to "Linear - Newest First".
