Thread sort order

[Thad E Ginathom]

Go to https://forum.jjmehta.com/index.php?action=profile;area=theme (from the drop down menu on the top bar showing your user name).

Find "Show most recent posts at the top in topic view" and deselect the option.

Click the "Change Profile" button at the bottom of the page.

Done.

Yesterday, I was logged out, and after logging in found that this had got reset again.

I used the link you give and hopefully it will be ok now. Oh: even from this post itself I can see that it is :)

Clearly, this is not due to an individual's settings

I have not logged out since I was having this problem.

My theory is that the default got changed when some work was being done on the forum, which was unavailable for a day or two.

The Thread Sort Order problem persists

When not logged in the order is reversed - pages in the section are reversed & the posts in each thread are reversed





When logged in it is in correct order



Clearly, this is not due to an individual's settings

Within a single post thread, messages flow from old to new downwards. Which is logical enough, I guess.

That's what I expect, and what I am used to. But it is not what I am now seeing. It has changed so that threads are displayed beginning with the latest post, new to old downwards.

This is not what you are seeing? Why me,then, I wonder! I did try logging out and logging back in. No: still the same.

I think the site was not available one day, a couple of days ago. It is only now that this order (for me) has been reversed.

The same with me..when the site wasn't available sometime back and later when i logged in i saw that the order had been changed i.e. it showed posts new and then scrolling down got me to the original post-something which i don't prefer. We so get used to the ways that i initially thought it was a bug post the problem the site was down and would be sorted out later. Little did i realize that like everything else it could be altered according to one's preferances now that i am seeing this thread..
And i so very resonate what Thad has to say here: Any post on an admin topic would be incomplete without this: Many thanks to our hosts, admins and moderators for keeping the forum going :)

Deselect the "Show most recent posts at the top in topic view"

I think you found the problem! Many thanks.

I also think I looked there before, but maybe didn't notice the "Change Profile" button! <Blush>

Many thanks for your help. I'm comfortable again :)

Log into your account and select "Look and Layout" under the drop down menu at top left (highlighted in red). Deselect the "Show most recent posts at the top in topic view" (highlighted in red). This should get your threads to revert to "messages flow from old to new downwards" arrangement.

Hi Bharat, I don't think this is being caused by individual settings. I initially read this thread before I logged in, and it displayed new to old top to bottom. As soon as I logged in it reverted to the older format of old to new top to bottom.
Strange

1. Within a single post thread, messages flow from old to new downwards. Which is logical enough, I guess.

2. Within a section of the forum, you can control the order of the displayed posts. Just toggle the display order by clicking on the "LAST POST" label highlighted below in red. You may have accidentally clicked it to change the order to the new setting.


Hope this helps.
