What's wrong with these Boards?

Sorry that this is off-topic, but I couldn't find a proper place to ask this.

Is there something wrong with these Boards? I've been lurking around here for a couple days now and ever thread I've read has the newest post at the top of the thread and the oldest at the bottem. Like the "Important SEIV Information & stuff" thread; the first post for me is the Last post on page 2. It's very confusing.

That's how this BBS runs it - most recent threads at the top of the list, most recent Posts at the top of each thread. You just get used to it.

Welcome aboard, BTW.

There is nothing "wrong" with them, it just just a different style. You can use the Printer Friendly links at the bottom of threads if you want to read everything in "old to new" order. But, "new to old" makes it so the new Posts are always at the front, so you don't have to waste time scrolling past old ones you have already read.

Ah ok, thanks!

Post a reply to the topic and you'll see 'em the other way...

So that's why IF has so many Posts...

Not that hard to click on the highest number and hit the "end" key. This is sooo non-standard.
