When you post a message it would be really nice if the page went straight to the bottom to see if there have been any cross-posts

[KatyMac]

I think it would be lovely (but then I am lazy)

Do any of you agree?

[FlorenceFarkingNightingale]

Do you mean you want it to go to the beginning of the thread? That would be a complete PITA if the thread was several hundred messages long, so no, I don't agree.

[KatyMac]

So when you post on a long thread - it shows you the last post (ie yours) rather than the first post

[ChasingSquirrels]

flip the thread

[KatyMac]

Not when you are reading just when you post of course you can flip - I just thought it would be a good default to show you your post (or the 7 or 8 that came before)

Katy, doesn't clicking on "Threads I'm on" achieve this?

[KatyMac]

Na-ah - you are all missing the point

When I press "Post Message" - it adds my message to the bottom & then shows the start of the thread

I want it to show the bottom of the thread eg my post & any cross-posts

[FlorenceFarkingNightingale]

I always read threads with the latest post at the top. When I post, my message gets added to the top, and that is what I see.

It sounds like you need to change your settings so that you see threads this way round rather than the way you are.

[KatyMac]

Ah - that would make sense - I will try it & see if I like it

I love haveing the threads the other way round (from top to bottom) - but the bit where I post annoys me

[ChasingSquirrels]

well, you can'thave your cake and eat it!
It's either top to bottom, but back to the 1st post or bottom to top, and straight to the last post.

[KatyMac]

I may change it - it is very annoying

Hi KatyMac, we did this a while ago but got rid of it again after many complaints.... we'll have a look at making it a switchable option or something.

[KatyMac]

Thanks Tech - I would like it as an option - but put it low on your "to do list", as it is quite petty
