I eagerly await a return to the correct, established message order. I am all in favour of individualism, but to be the onlyforum which is out of step with the rest of the world is a bit trying. Why no word from our democratically elected overlords?

I also prefer the old format, if it wasn't broken why fix it?

The decision to reverse the ordering posts was made following a number of comments and posts that we should do so. The reason often given was that the first comment had often been overtaken by subsequent postings and on a long thread the original post could have been posted days, weeks and even occasionally years previously. We can look at this again but we may find that another group of people will respond that it was better with the latest postl first. I will ensure that we consider, in the light of experience, whether we should revert to the previous system.

The big problem with the latest message at the top (apart from the fact that reversing the order of the paragraphs in a story differs from every other book in the English language!) is that if you want to type into the box below the last message so as to avoid re-copying all the previous text - you must scroll all the way to the bottom anyway. So now we have a proliferation of writers clicking the 'reply' box - and copying all previous messages over and over again!

hurrah, at last i find the page to write, it took so long i forgot what i was about to say...............

Many of the threads are too long because of the laziness of some contributors. It does not seem to matter which order the messages are posted in the threads are continually swamped byPreviouslyPreviouslyPreviouslyPreviouslyPreviouslyPreviously

PreviouslyPreviouslyPreviouslyPreviouslyPreviouslyPreviously etc.

My legal adviser tells me that I should claim a royalty fee for each time my messages are re-posted without my permission on this WebSite.

It can't be beyond the wit of man to let technology solve this crisis!!

A sort option at the top of the page would surely please everybody?

Yes make the default that the question isn't copied into the reply.
