Thread: Link / Post Order Problem

I've noticed that one for a long, long time and unfortunately I don't think that one will ever be fixed. I base that on how it calculates posts and threads, etc., and any time there is a deleted or moved post it would be affected. There are scripts that run a couple of times a month that is suppose to readjust, but I haven't seen it help 100% of the time.

All I would suggest is I wouldn't rely 100% on the forum for your signals. Use the email alerts and premium reports.

i was having the same problem with the oldest post coming up first when clicking on a thread too, so i went in to check my setting and sure enough it is still set to show newest posts first. so i tried a little reverse psychology on server gremlin and told it show me oldest first and now it is showing me the newest posts first, so there. obviously the artificial intelligence behind this server is a female.

Settings>General Settings>Thread Display Mode>Linear-Oldest First

unfortunately, it appears that i am not able to update my signature line, i have tried several times. is anybody else having this issue?

I do not have that trouble when accessing the forum through a PC, but i do get that exact same error when accessing it on my android phone. i prefer the 'full website' view and always when i click the forum link i get shuttled to a vbulletin mobile type skin where i click a plus sign and then scroll down to the bottom to pick 'full site'. this also takes me to the blank 'page not found'. the only way i can access the forum on my phone is to login through vbulletin but then it seems pointless because i can't find anything on mobile menu or see the favorites/30 last posts, etc.

not having a usably formatted tsptalk forum on my phone is right up there on par with quitting cigarettes, dang unpleasant let me tell you what.

Thanks burro. I'll give that a try. I really wasn't happy with Tom's explanation as my premium service directs me to check the forum and not rely on email...Der springen werks ist definitely kaput!

At least for me, the settings are working as they should. "newest first" puts the newest posts on Page 1. and "Oldest First" puts the oldest on Page 1. The problem is... when you click on a thread it takes you to the last page, regardless of what you put for a setting. Basically what you changed was whether the last page has the newest posts (aka Oldest first), or the oldest posts (aka newest first). What we (or at least I) want is to go to Page 1 every time... but beggars can't be choosers I guess!

What k0n said is the way it is still working for me. I deal with it but it just takes getting used to.

PO

The links are obviously being rewritten after taking out that bad plug-in program and that Latest Posts list is not interpreting it correctly.I made a change to the latest post links.

Those links are "supposed to" go to the last post in the thread but I tried to change to go to the first unread post in the thread. We'll see if that helps.

LIKE!

I guess I don't know what I'm doing anymore! My Like button for a post is gone! I tried to "reply with quote" and I only got "reply"

and lastly, when I pull up a thread I realize that I'm looking at the oldest posts first in a thread and I don't know how to change it.

"I'm a one row tractor in a twelve row tractor world"

A friend of mine whose dad was in his late 80s at the time said, " After a man gets a certain age you ought to just take him out behind the barn and shoot him cause he ain't no longer good for nothing"

Am I there yet?

Click on first at the bottom and the newest will come up.

Yeah, but how do I fix it so that it stays that way? Where the most recent posts show upon opening the thread? You know.......Like it used to!!!
