Hi Percy,
Maybe it's because I'm using my father-in-law's computer (Darwin only knows what unique problems he's got logged), however, when I display a thread, the messages on the page are in reverse order, with the most recent message at the top. This means to read a page, I have to start at the bottom and scroll up.
Has anyone else noticed this problem, or is it something local?

Re: Quetzal
Gahhk. If that's the case, I've got a real problem with the way the board is set up now. What happens if you're away from the board for a few days - do you have any idea how complicated trying to catch up on a multi-page thread is? You have to start at the bottom of page 1, scroll up to the top of page one, click on page 2, scroll down to the bottom of page two, scroll up to read - and if the message is longer than your screen height, you have to scroll up until you find the top of the message, scroll down as you read it, then scroll back up to the top of the NEXT message. Wash rinse repeat.
Can we please go back to the old, clunky, not-for-profit bb system? Pretty please?

Re: Change to "Reply To" Link Position and Presentation
Hi Boss. Although it may just be trying to get used to a change, I find that the This message is a reply to and Replies to this message in the same place makes it easy to track what's going on at a glance. Especially with long messages when you'd have to scroll back up to see who's doing what to whom.
