>but if not, then you'll get the default (which apparently has changed).

 

This is obvious to me and I immediately login because I don't like that non ISO 8601 format.

 

>Just when you think that things can't get any lamer,

 

I assume you also ran into the case where you have to change your HP Passport password every 6 months too?  ;-)

Re: Sequence of postings

I certainly appreciate the number of options available.  

 

However, it seems that "they" did not realize that just about every other discussion board out there has a format where the original post is displayed at the "top".  This certainly should not be the default setting, IMHO.

Which "this" is this?  Having the new default or having the oldest at the top?

Re: Sequence of postings

LOL..sorry, that could have been worded better (and here I am complaining about how things are explained!).

 

What I meant was the default view should be as it was:  From within the topic, the original post is shown at the top of the page.

Re: Sequence of postings

I agree with Robert Jewell's opinion.

 

To me the sort order with the newest on top is true nonsense.

 

It's really difficult to follw a thread being sorted upside down.

Re: Sequence of postings (in a topic)

Has anyone figured out the exact way to duplicate this?

1) Is it because you aren't logged in?

2) Or the default was changed and people who noticed took the default instead of explicitly selecting the option of what they wanted?

 

None of the above two cases is true for me.

Re: Sequence of postings (in a topic)

I see the newest first or oldest first randomly, no matter if i logged on or not.

Hope this helps!
