    I asked this back in post 129 ...

    Can we no longer set our preferences to where the last post comes up first when we click on a thread? (reverse the order from last-to-first instead of first-to-last).

    And will this new software allow us to see who is viewing the threads like the old software did?
     
    Mastertech Thanks this.

    I haven't seen anyway to display the last post first....but I could have over looked that.

    You can't look at who is viewing the thread yet....I believe there is a plugin to make that happen but Sam is waiting on that to make sure the forum is stable first.
    The other problem with being able to view who is looking at the threads is resources.....it takes an incredible amount of server resources to do that.

    Not at this time, in answer to both questions.
    I'm not sure if the developer will be adding those options in the near or mid future, but making sure the system we presently have is stable, takes priority before we make each additional option or enhancement.

    Edit: I see MT got to your question while my post was in-progress. ;)
     
    Mastertech and Rockin&Rollin Thank this.

    Thank you very much for answering this, I see the way the new software works and its a vast improvement over what it replaced but whenever possible I prefer to have reverse order like the old software offered (I have 6-8 forums up at any given time and last post first is a real time-saver).

    Whatever, you guys/gals do a great job with this forum even if that doesn't mean much coming from one of the step-children members that mainly posts in Politics lol
     
    KW Cajun and Mastertech Thank this.

    I've been on the road for eight weeks. Come home late at night to a dark house. Step through the front door and promptly ram my shin into a table that never use to be there. After a lot of cussing and maybe even a little crying I turn on the lights and look around. It looks better.

    You done good.

    Now if I can just find where everything is....
     
    truckon and Mastertech Thank this.

    In forum terminology, that would be a Custom Field. The tools we need to import custom fields correctly wasn't available when we did the import, but we're working with a developer to fill that gap. Hopefully in the next couple weeks we'll run another brief import to get a few small remaining items like the Custom Fields transferred over. If that doesn't work out, I'll recreate the custom field on here, but users would have to re-enter that information... not a huge deal, but hopefully an inconvenience we can avoid.
