so i researched and researched and could not get the answer. When i open a thread the latest post comes up and on page 26 is the original post. I would like to have it back to page one means the first page of that thread. How do i do this?
I have gone under edit options and could not find the answer. I also read the help documents
Can I change the order of threads?

You have a choice over how you view threads. When you're in a thread, look at the top bar. On the right hand side you'll see 'Display Mode'. Click on this and it lets you change how posts are ordered.

You have three choices:

Linear Mode - posts are displayed chronologically, usually from oldest to newest. Posts are shown in a flat mode so that many posts can be viewed simultaneously. It is possible to change the ordering by changing your preferences in the User CP

Threaded Mode - a tree is shown along with every post. This shows you the relationship each post has to the others. It's easy to see who responded to whom. Only one post is shown at a time. By clicking on a single post in the post tree, the page will show that post and all posts made in response to it.

Hybrid Mode - This is a mixture of the linear and threaded modes. The post tree is displayed as in the threaded mode, but many posts are shown at the same time as in the linear modes.


Viewing New Posts or Today's Posts
How can I see the latest posts?

There are two ways to quickly view recently created or updated threads.

If you are not logged in, the 'today's posts' link will show a list of all threads that have been created or updated in the last 24 hours.

If you are logged in, the 'Today's Posts' link will change to 'New Posts', which gives you a listing of all threads that have been created or updated since your last visit.

The administrator can also set up the forums so that each thread you read is marked in the database. If this option is set, then new threads (or threads with new posts) will not be marked as read until you have actually read them.

There is a built-in time limit to this, however, that will automatically mark all threads as 'read' after a set number of day, whether you really have read them or not. The default setting is 10 days, but the administrator could make this higher or lower.

Still no answer?

 

Moved to correct section.

got my answer thank you very much
this sure has been asked alot. have they thought about not making it default for newest post to be shown first?

 

You're welcome.

That, and a couple things we probably should make default...

 

That was the default until something changed it. Upon realization, it was changed back to show the correct order. So if you're seeing things in reverse-order, then you probably registered during the period the settings were messed up.

 

Chris, while we're on "default" topic, may we make the search engine's default "search by title" instead of "search by post" in the drop down menu?

 

^ As far as I know, there's not an option for me to change that.

 

^^ K thanks...
