Is there an option that I am not seeing in the user CP that would allow me to see new replies first when I click on a thread link?

Thanks

 

Thread Display Options
Can I change the order of threads?

You have a choice over how you view threads. When you're in a thread, look at the top bar. On the right hand side you'll see 'Display Mode'. Click on this and it lets you change how posts are ordered.

You have three choices:

Linear Mode - posts are displayed chronologically, usually from oldest to newest. Posts are shown in a flat mode so that many posts can be viewed simultaneously. It is possible to change the ordering by changing your preferences in the User CP

Threaded Mode - a tree is shown along with every post. This shows you the relationship each post has to the others. It's easy to see who responded to whom. Only one post is shown at a time. By clicking on a single post in the post tree, the page will show that post and all posts made in response to it.

Hybrid Mode - This is a mixture of the linear and threaded modes. The post tree is displayed as in the threaded mode, but many posts are shown at the same time as in the linear modes.

 

Thanks for the reply, but I do not see those options anywhere on my top bar. I have included a screen capture to show you what I am seeing as options.

 

Also, I have looked everywhere in my Control Panel options and cannot find where those options are. Maybe I have a box checked somewhere or dont have a box checked somewhere that I should. Thanks again.

 

Left click UserCP (in blue bar on top of forum)

Left click "Edit Options"

Scroll down to "Thread Display Options"

Go to "Thread Display Mode" and change to "Linear-Newest First"

Scroll down to bottom of page and left click "Save Changes"

 

BOOM. Thanks FXDRider. That worked.
