chronological order of posts

[Annie's Mom]

Hi there, Just a quick question about the order of posts. Is there a way that I can sort posts chronologically so that the most recent posts appear first?
Thanks for your help!

If you use the "view today's posts" or "view new posts" functions, the posts will always come up in that order. The forum posts are also in that order, except for the "sticky" posts at the very top that are anchored there because they contain important information that people need to be able to find. I can't unstick the stickies because then they'd get lost.

Also, if you want to be able to see all the posts in a thread (rather than a forum) more clearly, you can change to a threaded view. To do that, go to the user cp (upper left below Louie's logo), and on the left hand side of the next page at the bottom of the second section (your profile) select "edit options." Then, to the right, where it said "thread view options" and "thread view mode" select "threaded." You should be able to more easily see all the activity on the thread.

I'll also poke around in the settings and see if there's something else I can find.

Thanks LouiesMom. I do like the "view today's posts" options. I will just use that.
I think there is a way to sort either in ascending or descending order. I think this forum is similar to one we use at work. But it would be an administrator setting and apply to the entire forum. So I don't want to make such a big change just for me. If everyone is happy with it, I'm happy too. I'm just so glad to have a place to share about CIL! Thanks again for all you do to keep this forum going.  It is so very appreciated.

I'll take a look at the settings and see what I can find. If it's something that we can add as an option, like the threaded view, it would be good to include. Thanks!
