only if you have a small mind
its actually alot more logical and in fact my email inbox works the same way with latest messages appearnig at the top and then older mesages going back in time



its not hacked! its customised, keenly crafted with love and dedication



@masseur, I think emails and threads are a little different, in the sense that I'd usually want to see what the OP posted, and go through the discussion in chronological order, rather than going backwards. For emails, I can understand that it's better to view the latest one first, and that's exactly how I do it myself. In any case, it's a small annoyance, but I've gotten used to it.

Anyways I c no big deal in this. Either post descend or accend bt you will still get your message. If they accend the your post is just a click away. Just click on the last page

It's not a "big deal", but it's a simple bit of usability that pretty much every other forum has, and this one doesn't. And it does come across as a bug, since the link after posting says something like "click here to see your message", but most of the time doesn't take you to your message at all.

It's a very simple thing to fix, without expecting people to change their own behaviour to suit the bug...

It surprises me how much time has been spent recently on cosmetic improvements to the site, without tackling really simple but aggravating problems like this.

For me, the to-do list for Esato would be this:

1. Fix the "your message" bug
2. Fix the first post on the next page being "invisible" until someone else has posted bug
3. Fix the successive edits messing up signatures and adding multiple edit lines (as below) bug
4. Add a post preview feature!! It's not rocket science!!

In all seriousness, none of that needs to take longer than a few hours, if you know what you're doing. This version of phpBB is coded very simply.

IME post previews tend to improve the quality of postings though, and they avoid a lot of unnecessary (and sometimes confusing) editing after the fact. Again, this is something I added to my own phpBB forum quite simply - it didn't look brilliant, but it did the job just fine.
