Thread Order
You can view any thread by newest or oldest by clicking FILTER top right of a thread, and select oldest first etc.
Default is newest post added first. Unless selected as a sticky thread.
Apologies...i just cannot find the word FILTER anywhere on my screen? I keep looking top right in the main page, thread page, forum page...all i see is my name, inbox, alerts...and then lower down on right, i see Unwatch, Staff Online, etc...

OK...just so Admin knows what i mean, i FOUND Filter for Threads (ie, you can see which ones were posted most recently)

HOWEVER, what i am referring to is a feature from the OLD site where once INSIDE a specific thread, the most recent post was actually at the TOP of the list...and then the one underneath, was the next most recent going BACKWARDS IN TIME.

That way, if i clicked on a thread, the very first thread i saw was the most recent, and the one underneath was prior.

What i mean is there is no Filter menu for these screens...so we cannot sort this where the top of this thread is the MOST recent post, and the one directly underneath this is one is the prior post...this was an old feature of the older website which i really enjoyed

It is still there, the function. You are presented with the threads list with the latest reply at the top. You then click on the title of the thread and go too the START off the thread, or you click on the date text of the latest replay and get taken to the latest reply.

Thank you...i see what you've done. If I click on the time stamp of the most recent post, it takes me straight there. it still does NOT scroll in reverse order (the way it used to)...but that is fine. I can get used to this quite easily.

Problem with lack of Cancel button.
Once you hit reply it stays in the cache and deleting doesn't get rid of it and it pops up whenever you go back to that thread and reply to another post.

I would prefer if the Recent Activity listed only the posts, not the "likes".

Where is my Forums that I subscribe to and where is the subscribe button on each? Is WATCH the new subscribe button or different meaning?

You are correct "watch" is what you want

I posted the above because people are asking about a cancel button and I finally understand what you mean

If I tried to simple remove the message with the backspace key it persists

Have others found the same

Here is the quick answer from the programmer

Hello Steve

I've posted under my name, and save out the post. Then went back and deleted the post by using the delete button. Works fine. I don’t see a problem.

If during setting up a post, the member then changes their mind, as long as they haven’t clicked post, they can just close the wondow or hit the back button on the browser.

If they post it, then they can imediately edit the text, or delete the entire post.

All good I think?

Click on your name or photo and in the dropdown screen you'll see "conversations". It also allows several members into the conversation


BTW, I forgot to add that if the member is visible on the site all you do is click on his username for instant conversation
