display posts in reverse chronological order (most recent first)
May 27 2009, 7:56 PM EDT
Any new information out there on how to display Wetpaint thread posts in reverse chronological order? Most other BBs give users the option for list posts, either most recent first or oldest first. Search on this site found same question asked by many, but no answer yet. Scrolling to end of thread with a lot of posts is really a pain, most recent should be at top and rest follow in reverse chronological order to oldest at end of scroll. Do you find this valuable? |

Well, the discussion forum is designed to have the most recent post at the top, and the others following it!

Thanks, for that info, which means Wetpaint can do it, except that my display of this page has my original post first and your reply below. How can I change the display here to reverse the order so the most recent reply is always at the top? And MORE IMPORTANTLY, how do I make my own Wetpaint page do the same thing or provide the reader the option of newest first or oldest first. Thanks again.Do you find this valuable? |

Is there a wiki that I can view, of course to help me better understand your question?

This page, at least my view of it in Firefox, is an example. My original question is at the top of the post and your reply, labeled #1, is second, my reply to you, labeled #2, is third, my reply to your reply, labeled #3, is fourth ...... etc. What I want to see, as in most other bulletin boards, is the most recent post (reply) at the top of the list followed by other replies in reverse chronological order back to the original post that started the thread. Some bulletin boards provide an icon (button) for the user to select normal or reverse chronological display of posts. I want to be able to edit my Wetpaint page to at least display in reverse chronological order, but I don't see a tool for that anywhere in the editing tools. Thanks again, again.

I understand now, it does get frustrating, for a big conversation, to have to go all the way to the end of the discussion to see the replies, but it would get too confusing. That is my opinion though, don't get your hopes up! Keep the thread going!Good Luck! Do you find this valuable? |

Thanks much, just good to talk to someone to see if Wetpaint has provided this tool that is, frankly, commonplace on other bulletin board. Signing off now, thanks again, again, again. Do you find this valuable? |
