Hi Mama Mia, I believe the order for newer posts (within a topic) is under Linear Layout.  (under preferences)

In addtion to your settings, you can do this:

 



We have an option which allows us to choose the sort sequence of topics in a forum (among other choices).

Look at the top of the threads, above the word "Subject" and to the right of "NEW MESSAGE."

The "Options" drop-down menu allows us to toggle between:

"Sort by Latest Post Date"


or

"Sort by Topic Start Date"

There are other options, too, but these 2 might help some of us find the newest threads or those with the most recent comments.

And it's good to see you!

 

Yes, the polish thread is still around.  Though, there's a problem trying to keep it on the front page of Beauty. There were numerous Beauty sub-forums with tons of posts and now they are all under 1 banner. So many polish ladies are daily posters and contribute so much to that thread. 

 

The Forums are a bit confusing, but in the scheme of things nothing that will cause me to lose sleep.

Go to "edit my preferences" and click on the "topic layout". Your choices are listed there.

It's the least I could do for a lovely lady whose posts have frequently touched my heart.

I believe Topic Layout will allow you to arrange the threads/topics.  Linear Layout will allow you to arrange the responses to the threads/topics.
