I used to open an existing thread and landed at the first post I hadn't read.

Now I open an thread and it shows me the first post, so I have to scroll down or go to the next page.

I've looked at the CP area and haven't found it - sorry. Anyone help? Thanks.

Hello Tom,

Are you talking about setting the thread option to be ascending or descending? If so you can find it under Edit Option in your CP... I have mine set to Linear as shown below

Thread Display ModeHere you can choose the display mode for threads. For a full explanation of the modes, please view this help page. Linear - Oldest First Linear - Newest First Thread Display Mode:

Thanks. I was going nuts over this as well :crazy: Sure would be nice if it became an automatic setting like it used to be.

Hmm, it is automatic for me. If I click the yellow icon (maybe it should be a SNEAKY PETE???) I automatically go to the first unread post. Then...if I want to start from the beginning to review the entire thread, I just click the title.

This has become the standard, it is new for us.....but once you get the hang of it you'll like it. :)
