Going to top (original post) in thread

[j-hill]

Since going to the new message board software I have noticed a slightly annoying element that I'm sure is fixable but I haven't been able to find a solution. I typically go to the home page and then look at the message board tab on the bottom-middle of the page; I click on a topic and when it takes me to the thread, the page comes up with it scrolled to the bottom (most recent) post. I have gone to the control panel and switched from oldest first/newest first and that didn't work (that setting appears to change whether it's ascending or descending chronological order).

I know my current problem is remedied by just scrolling to the top of the page (or to the top of the first page if it's a mulit-page post).

Does anyone know where the setting is to change this? I want to be able to click on the link and the page opens taking me to the top (original) post. Also, this appears to have nothing to do with whether I have already viewed the post.

Thanks for your help,
Jason

This happens to me too and is driving me CRAZY!

I've been looking through tech discussion boards trying to find the fix. I figured it was just me.

Me too..Drives me crazy as well. I use Firefox as well. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

In your USER CP do you have your Thread Viewing Option set to Linear -Oldest First...

Then within a are you set to (down at the bottom left of the page) Sort By:Last Post Time and Sort Order: Descending

Those setting may help with the views.

EDIT: I should add, I used Fire fox as well.

I use Firefox (mac OS X) and it works fine for me.

Yes to both...

Home page always defaults to the last post. It's designed that way. If you want to see the first post every time on every thread every time there's a new post you need to use the forum software New Posts or Today's Posts in Quick Links. Many of these threads go on for years or months. While some of you want to do it one way, the rest don't. From the Cafe home page tabbed section, it's going to stay going to the most recent post. It was designed that way from the start with that in mind.
