    Yey, look I get the first question. Previously when I opened a thread the most recent posts were first and at the top. Now when I open up a thread it starts at the first post in the thread and I have to click through pages and then scroll down to find the latest post. Is there a way to change it so the most recent post is shown first?

    Not sure whether it bothers anyone else, but as a mod it's taking a lot of time to check all the new posts.

    Sorry, can you explain with an example if possible? If you click a thread which is unread to you, it will take you to the first unread post to you from where your ID has read to. So for example, this very thread, when I clicked on it, it linked me directly to your post, because that was the new unread post

    Code:
    http://sheltieforums.com/threads/new-forum-software.25078/#post-355071
    If you have already read the thread, it will take to to the first post in the thread. That's exactly the same behaviour as vBulletin.

    Usually it starts in reverse chronological order - most recent post first, but atm it starts with the first post. I think at one time I set it to go in reverse chronological order on vBulletin. It's useful for me because most of the posting happens while I'm in bed so there are lots to look at when I get up. But I did just click onto a thread again that I just read and it took me to the last post on the last page (although the thread is still in chronological order rather than reverse order).

    I'm guessing that maybe with the cross-over the threads are all acting as if they haven't been read and taking me to the first post. That would explain why there were 5 pages of new threads for me to look at this morning.

    Q.2 How to delete a conversation? I can't find any options to delete selected conversations.

    You don't delete them. You need to Leave the conversation.

    I'm using this on my phone. My one complaint is the ads take up the entire screen. I have to scroll quite a bit to get to the actual content.

    I'm with Caro- when I opened a thread with unread posts, the most recent post would be at the top and the original post would be last at the bottom. It was much easier to pick up where I left off in a multiple post thread.

    We are working on getting a plugin that will restore that option for you. Once installed, it will be a feature you will select from your personal settings. Hang tight, we are working on it! :)

    Thanks for letting me know about this Jess, I'll look into it. Right now I'm seeing one add above the categories. Are you seeing more than one?
