Default, when you click 'Last Post By..' is oldest first. That's what I am finding.

It used to default to the newest posts, and in the Exchange it is easier to see pricing updates this way.

Now when I click that it goes way back to 2002. Then I click again to get the latest. At first it's a bit confusing.

My personal settings are set to 'Oldest posts' first for thread display.

Can this be switched back?

I take it you mean in the Exchange?
 
Yes, in the Exchange. In the old software, when you first switched over to the new sorting by starting thread times, one click on the 'Last post by' would sort by bumps and updates. Now it takes two swipes.

All the other forums are sorted by 'Last Post' so clicking that it goes to the inverse (oldest first). That makes sense.

I fully support the new starting thread times format, but there has been enough grousing about how to see updates, that making it a bit easier would be best.

I can see where clicking twice would be an inconvenience if using a phone or something, but on the computer it's not really a big deal?
 
No biggie for me, Kevin. Thanks.

I only brought this up in case there was a checkbox that wasn't clicked as before.

Damned if I (we) don't see someone grousing once a week about how sucky the 'new' format is. This single click had been the closing argument before.

Got it.
