So I'm down belowdecks looking at all the posts about poor deals, and I see this -

:eek:

Now I'm wondering, how did my preferences get that screwed up???...But wait!...I don't have a "View Thread Pages In Reverse Order" preference!!!... :p

What's next, I wonder??? :rolleyes:
 
I'm guessing he is using different keyboard layout (right to left = Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew etc) and the software is accomodating that layout by writing everything from right to left.

It's only that one thread. Other multi-page threads in TGB&U are normal...

Well, as normal as GB&U threads get... :p

Chinese keyboard layout??? :eek: I could see how that maybe would affect his viewing...but why ours??? :confused:

(Edit: pic updated to show other multi-page thread)

The numbers do correspond to the correct pages...

Bwahahahahaha!!! That's made my day!!! :D:thumbup:

Is it something to do with the font itself??? How does my PC know that your language is different??? Do I need the Hebrew/Arabic/Chinese fonts loaded??? Or is it the version of Windows??? I mean, does it require, say, the European version rather than the English/American release??? :confused:

When you write in certain fonts they tell Windows in what direction it should be displayed. His font has told the forum software that the title should be from right to left. I could go into details how it is done, but I'm sure the forum leaders wouldn't be too impressed if people did this on purpose. :D
