Default Ok what\'s with the backwards forums

Seriously, why are all the Posts backwards and how can I get the threads to read normally? I've been meaning to ask this for a while, it's pretty irritating.

For now you have to hit the "printer friendly" thing at the bottom left of the screen.

Eventually the software will be upgraded to allow user selection for either the "discussion forum" Version and the "customer support" (this way) Version

Select "printer friendly view" (bottom left corner). That's appearently the only way... so far at least. I herd that the masters of these Boards are thinking about a change ... but if and when it's going to happen...who knows.

Yeah I found the thread in one of their forums and reminded them how retarded this system is. I honestly found this forum, left never to come back and returned only when finding nothing else.

Can't complain about content, but my god why must we do things *** backwards around here? heh

Because they wanted it that way. It was setup as a customer support arrangment before becoming discussion Boards.

They have the new software which will let Users have it in discussion mode. As far as I know they could flip it on tonite if they didnt care about the content you were talking about.

Most web forums that are actually written for customer support tracking show the latest at the top. And its easier to see the latest Posts

Of course the new BBS forums have buttons for that, which makes it worthwhile to switch.
