I was thinking that the posts should be reversed, so that the first post is the one you see and that way you can read the entire thread and see the whole " Story" in the order as it was posted...see?

You mean so that you see the first post that was posted in the topic at the top of the first page then below it you see the post that was posted after it say like two or three minutes later?

If so all you have to do is go to the top of the page where it shows the HNet banner and then above that it says welcome username, notifications etc.

The third one says settings. Click that and it will take you to your account page scroll down towards the bottom left hand side and under my account it says email settings then general settings. Click on the general settings.

About halfway down the page it says Thread Display Settings.

The second section says thread display mode. This gives several options on how to view each thread. If you click the down arrow it gives you those options. If you click on Linear-oldest first it will show the thread with the first post at the top of the first page then each response below that.

If you meant something else please explain and I will try to help.

I have that enabled. It is way better in my opinion, otherwise I have the idea I am reading a book beginning in the back.

As far as I know, the default should be oldest first. Is that not how it's showing up??

When I am not logged in oldest is first.

When I had just made my account newest was first.

I changed in the settings myself that oldest is first when logged in.

Thanks for the heads up, all, and for helping Hobie out. I have changed the default in the admin panel so that registered users get the threads displayed oldest first. Not sure how that ended up as newest first. And you can always change it to whatever you want by following Lizzy's directions.

Yes, thank you Lizzie and everyone!! The next drink is a toast to you!! SKOAL!!
