Question Order of posts Oldest frst in backend

freedoncoach: I have merged your topic with another one on the same subject. This isn't a support issue because K 1.6 (like K 1.5 and K 1.0 before it) does not have a global setting to control this behaviour. The behaviour in K 1.6 is like K 1.5 (and K 1.0 before it) controlled on a user-by-user preferential basis.

Some users prefer the first post last. Other users (like me) prefer the latest post last. C'est la vie.

Whether or not a global setting could control the default behaviour, I am a firm believer in allowing the individual end user as much control as possible. There's not a lot of training needed to show new users how to use this feature. You could include these instructions in your own help page of you think that it might be useful.

I'm involved in several dozen topics in this forum on a daily basis. I suppose I am used to the way that things work and I don't have a personal need to change the way that I operate. Other people are free to make their own choices.

Hi Sozzled:

I agree that each user should be able to decide for themselves which option is better for them but I also feel that there should be a global setting to create an initial default based on what the webmaster believes will be the preferred choice for most of his users. So I guess you could say I'm making a feature request that a global setting be added in future versions for this item. I could place this in the future request category if you feel that is desirable.

In the meantime, please review for me where users can adjust their individual settings for this item. I understand it is in the user profile but I am not seeing it. The only user profile I'm aware of is the one connected to community builder and I know that Kunena has its own profile settings. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Howard

Look in your profile (edit your profile). It's the first item you see on the Forum Settings tab.

This issue is now resolved for me. I just needed to change the profile assigned to the forum to be Kunena instead of community builder.

Sincerely,
Howard
