I've noticed that the default Thread Display Mode on this site is:
Linear Mode (Newest First). In other words, posts are displayed chronologically from newest to oldest. Personally I find it confusing to view threads in that order. I prefer to see the newest thread as 'the last thread'. To me it makes more sense. Perhaps because it's like that on most of the forum sites I know.
I just found out that it's easy to change this in the options. If you'd like to change the thread display mode to Linear Mode (Oldest First):
Go to:
User Control Panel - Edit Options - Thread Display Options
and there select Linear Mode (Oldest First)
Click the 'save changes' button at the bottom, and you're done.
If you don't know what I mean you can experiment with the setting of course and then view the forums and you'll see what I mean. If you do prefer the other display mode then you can easily change it back.
Just a tip :)
Not sure but perhaps the webmaster can change the default setting for all users in his administrator control panel?
