Hi Marina,
Re: this topic being upside down. There is a sort of reason for it. It's that the "live events" section is mostly used for live events, which generally go on for a fixed period, with people posting messages that then get responded to quickly. With most of these the conversation ends as the event finishes, with maybe some later comments from people. For these, we leave them the "right way up" to make them easier to read, then rearrange them sometimes after the event so that answers go with their questions (as in the Gina Ford thread). The threads in the other sections are much more open-ended - people might leave a message then check later to see if someone has responded, or there might be several sub-conversations going on. For those, we figured it was better to show the most recent messages at the top so it's easy to catch up on something that you've read part of before without scrolling down to see the latest messages - but you can scroll down to re-read an older message if you need to.

Hope this makes some kind of sense,
Steven (tech person for mumsnet)
