    I have noticed it some time sbut not everytime.

    i have checked the forum setting and they are correctly set to show the last post time in descending order.

    please check your settings in your usercp as your setting would over rule the forum defaults

    Yeah, same here, it makes reading some threads quite confusing sometimes...

    I think it'd be for the best if this bbs started using the "traditional" format that most other forums use. Of course people would have to learn to use the "Quote" feature, but we're all smart people here aren't we? :p I liked the old format on this bbs too, but it's much slower (especially when the forum was working slow) to click open every single reply separately, and I wouldn't have enough time in my hands to read all the posts anymore. Any kind of a hybrid format between those two (at least the ones that have been tried on this bbs) just doesn't work, people like to use different formats and in the end no one knows who's replying to who.

    My settings are 'oldest first' yet I am still having the same issue as the OP.
    Well confusing at times. A bit like an Hemsworth post

    The Hemsy posts are the best in that format, mental.
