message sorting

[Anonymous]

hi,

would there be a way of defaulting to “newest message first” sort mode?
also the selection is way down at the end of the list & especially for more paged subjects … bla

maybe i´m only blind & just dont find where to set it.

thanks
robert

Also, would be good if the “view posts since your last visit” thing worked, it always tells me no posts matched my search criterea.

The new posts thing definitely needs to be fixed..we’ll look into that.

As far as the sort order, I’ll see if I can get that to work as well.

You aware of the IE bug in the forums too? Every time it renders a page in the forums it hangs for a couple of seconds and grabs all the CPU time, even if you’re just flipping back and forth with no network activity. Happens in IE6 and in the new IE7 beta too. I guess it’s a bug in IE, it’s fine in everything else 🙂

No…I’m not aware of the issues with IE on windows. I’ll look into it when I get back from being on the road and have my Windows machine. We’ve kind of given up supporting IE on mac, since it hasn’t been developed for years and won’t be.

For me, I’ve been struggling with figuring out the new posts thing for a while. It would be so nice to see only the new messages. I think that one is honestly a royal pain, but we only have so much time to spend on the site. Since others feel the same way, I’ll bump it up on the list 🙂

This summer, we’ll be replacing the forums with another piece of software which is more feature rich. So hang in there (I’ll fix the new posts thing before that).
