Posted replies order within a thread? It keeps changing????

[cantgrowup]

Please forgive a tech neanderthal... but sometimes when I click on a thread in Streetglide.com to read the posts, the most recent post is at the top on page 1. But then at other times, it seems the order switches to where the most recent post is last. I don't think that I'm doing something to change the settings. Am I imagining this? I've never seen another forum where the most recent posts are listed first and you have to go to the very end to see what the original poster asked in the first place.

Confused (a frequent condition).

Go to "Settings" (Top of page, rt side), "My Account", "General Settings"....

Can I change the order of posts?

You have a choice over how you view threads. When you're in a thread, look at the top bar. On the right hand side you'll see 'Display Mode'. Click on this and it lets you change how posts are ordered.

You have three choices:

Linear Mode - posts are displayed chronologically, usually from oldest to newest. Posts are shown in a flat mode so that many posts can be viewed simultaneously. It is possible to change the ordering by changing your preferences in the User CP

Threaded Mode - a tree is shown along with every post. This shows you the relationship each post has to the others. It's easy to see who responded to whom. Only one post is shown at a time. By clicking on a single post in the post tree, the page will show that post and all posts made in response to it.

Hybrid Mode - This is a mixture of the linear and threaded modes. The post tree is displayed as in the threaded mode, but many posts are shown at the same time as in the linear modes.

check to see if you are signed in, for me when I am signed in it goes from most recent at the top, when I'm not signed in it has most recent last.
