    Default Order of the posts is confusing to me . . .

    Maybe I'm getting too old but I can't seem to get the hang of the new format. What is the logic for the order in which posts appear? I see some from today, some from yesterday and they seem to be in a random order. I used to having the latest post at the top, oldest at the bottom, etc. Right now I'm scrolling up and down looking for something I saw earlier today. Help!

    Curt.

    everytime someone responds to a post it is brought back to the beginning...i like it alot, i think it makes it very handy and easy to find your post and if someone has repliced to it, also if you are worried about loosing it, just reply to your own post and it is brought back to the beginning.

    Default From what I understood earlier

    The posts are in the order of most recently created or replied to. So if there's an older message lower down in the list that someone replies to, then the whole thread gets bumped to the top.

    So, am I right or am I right?

    Default OK - so that makes sense. Thanks.

    In threaded view, you are correct, in linear, you have options of oldest or newest first.
