MYSTERY SOLVED - Why order of answers was reversed yesterday

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News : One Thread

Note on the admin secret clubhouse page:

09 August 01 - For Q&A forums, I added a new administrator option to control the order in which responses to questions are presented. Due to a mis-understanding on my part, this messed up thread presentation for a few hours today - but I think I've got everything back to normal now, plus forum administrators now have a new choice. If you want responses to be ordered differently than they are now, change the Answer order option (see the How Threads are Presented section, below).

So whaddaya think? It ain't broke so don't fix it, or what?

I like it the way it is. I visit another site that posts the most recent comments at the top of the list and it drives me nuts. It means you have to scroll down to look for when new answers started then read each answer and scroll up for the next, read that, scroll up for the next, etc. Terrible way to do it, in my opinion.

Yep. Leave 'er be. Anita over at Unk's might be awake enough to read up and down, but I'm usually tired when I'm online these daze and reading downward works well for me.

Gawd, I'm sorry, Helen. But you know my eyesight's bad, gotta keep out of the old git's way.
