Order of Postings - Eye on Spain

Friday, September 07, 2007 Smiley EOS Superstar I'm in San Pedro de Alcantara I've made 2172 posts Send private message to Smiley	I know that this is going to be controversial and causes much debate but as a regular visitor and contributor to the forum I am of the view that it is better to see the most recent posts first that automatically come up on screen. Having spoken to a few other members they seem to have the same view as me. On several occasions I have seen some type of arrow that says change the order of posts but it is not always there and is extremely frustrating having to wait for the screen to reset itself and also I dont know whether there have been mutliple posting since the last time I looked or not. It is always easy to go back to the very beginning as pages 1 2 and 3 etc are all clearly numbered - why cant we have a default that opens at the latest post. Or alternatively can we set a default for ourselves - perhaps this is an innovation that Justin has already implemented but if so I dont know about it - or maybe it is even beyond his wonderful magic. _______________________ *Smiley* - patrick@marbellamortgages.com www.marbellamortgages.com *Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit .....but any form of wit is an achievement* NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE GOT, IF YOU HAVE NOBODY TO SHARE IT WITH, THEN ITS JUST NUMBERS IN THE BANK.

I agree that, personally, I prefer to see the latest postings first. _______________________ www.duquesavillage.net www.KeyDubai.com Spam post? If so please click here to report it

Or alternatively can we set a default for ourselves - perhaps this is an innovation that Justin has already implemented but if so I dont know about it - or maybe it is even beyond his wonderful magic. I asked for this facility at the beginning of the week. It would be good if the email that arrives announcing a new comment on a thread contained a link to the first new comment as there may be several. Justin did say they were looking into it. It seems that this forum is one that is being coded as we use it which hopefully will mean it has features we all want rather than the "off the shelf" forums that most use, but it also means that EOS have a bit of "catch up" to play before it can offer the same facilities of some of the established forum builds such as phpBB and YaBB. That said, now the re- order button is there, I find it easier to read ld threads I hadn't seen yet as I don't open the tread and have to wade through 8 or 9 pages to get to the start (or click on anything really) as it is all there for me to read at the beginning. When reading threads that I have already seen, I keep it in the reverse order.

When I went to profiles it is already set that way but sometimes when I open up it seems to autmoatically go to the first page of a thread for some reason - guess I shall just have to grin and bear it!! _______________________ *Smiley* - patrick@marbellamortgages.com www.marbellamortgages.com *Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit .....but any form of wit is an achievement* NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE GOT, IF YOU HAVE NOBODY TO SHARE IT WITH, THEN ITS JUST NUMBERS IN THE BANK.
