Reverse Posting Order

[dotch]

I would like to have the latest post on top of the screen (forced my Admin, not necessarily a user option). Many boards have this feature and I always enable it. The last post is on top of your screen and it saves you a lot of clicking to the last page of the thread and of scrolling down to the last post.

Some treads go on for years.

2 threads on the same topic ? Do you think your gonna get a faster reply by doing that ?

Do it yourself if you at all want it.

Open your showthread.php. Go to line no. 975 and find this chunk:


WHERE $pids
ORDER BY p.dateline
");
while($post = $db->fetch_array($query))

Make it:

WHERE $pids
ORDER BY p.dateline DESC
");
while($post = $db->fetch_array($query))

Hmm, one topic was meant as a request for and update of the plugin which is outdated
The other one was meant as a request for a general MyBB config feature (without the need of a plugin)

Thanks for your reply. This reverses the display order of the posts per page, but it does not reverse all the posts of all pages.

I mean, when I have a thread of 3 pages, the first (oldest) post of the thread should be displayed as the last post on page 3 and the last (newest) post should be displayed as on top of page 1 of the tread.

So as new posts are made to the thread, the older posts are pushed down by the newest post, which will be on top.

How can I achieve that? Anyone?
