Threaded Views: Last First or First Last

Please Vote!

Do you prefer the last (most recent) post being the first on the list or the way it has been - first post is first and then the replies are listed sequentially to the last (most recent) post?

Marc,

Need one more option here....dosen't matter

I can adapt....even a geezer like me.

And, by the way....
Can I vote more than once...I lived in Chicago for 3 years, and the motto was "vote early, vote often".....LOL

Love the site!!!!!

I didn't think of that. I'll leave it as is for now - I'm not familiar enough with the software yet to know if I can change a 'Poll' setup after it's set up.

I've been on boards done both ways, and prefer first to last. It is just a more logical progression.

The beginning topic should be first. Here's my humble opinion on why:
As we all know, the topic can become skewed as different people respond. The topic may be an "Audit" topic to start. Before you know it, it turns into CA/PA. Someone who wants to look at the progression of discussions on the "Audit" topic should see the original question. Otherwise you see the Audit Topic subject and are greeted with a discussion on Customer Satisfaction. It's a natural thing that we all do. You add a personal viewpoint and it's commented on by another and another. We have all seen the occasional post saying let's get back on the subject. Putting the last first forces you to search for where the topic changed so you can decide where the information you're reading has nothing to do with why you started reading it in the first place. I know, Marc, blab blab blab. You have a nice relaxing holiday weekend. You certainly deserve it, Cheech Wizard!

I like top to bottom. Don't know why. Maybe the old creature of habit thing. But being taught to read top to bottom its just easier scrolling down than up.
