Settings for forum

When I was on the “old” forum, there was a setting that allowed me to view conversations in a “last in - on top” arrangement. Is that option still available and if so, how do I set it up?

Apparently the Discourse software can’t be configured to display that way. On the other hand, the system ‘remembers’ where you were in the thread, and takes you there (with a thin red line as a separator) which is very close to the practical utility of last-post-first, and Discourse does not have the ‘page’ system Telligent used to accommodate low-bandwidth connections (which was a regular source of maintenance disaster – do you know what page comes before -2? I do! – under Kalmbach Media. What that means is that if you are at the beginning of a thread with over 100 posts, simply swiping or scrolling quickly gets you to the end… and subsequent visits will go right to where you left off.

Plus, in addition to what Woke_Hoagland had to say, you can also take the scrollbar at the side of the screen and slam it to the bottom of the page.

The current set up does hide a lot of threads for some reason or another. It is what it is.
