I've just done an upgrade on my test forum from 2.1b3 to 2.1b4.

My threads show the latest post at the top (first post in the thread).
I want it to be chronological, so that the most recent post is the LAST in the thread.

I can't find this setting anywhere, and would appreciate if someone could point me to the right place :)

Thanks.

in your profile -> look and layout Show most recent posts at the top in topic view.

same spot the same setting is in SMF 2.0.

How can I make it a universal setting, which cannot be changed by users?

Or at least a forum default setting?

same way you would in SMF 2.0, change the settings in themes and layout -> member options.

Please see attachment. I do NOT have the 'show newest posts first' ticked in either screen (guests/new or existing).
And yet as the other attachment shows, that's how it is displaying.

What am I missing?

Check your own profile. The defaults are set up as you want but that doesn't mean your own profile is.

landyvlad

No idea how that happened but that's exactly what it was Arantor, thank you.

Shame there's no apparent way to change it and force it across all existing members.
Anyway sorted no. Cheers

there is and we also gave you directions on how to do that in this topic.

Illori - perhaps a misunderstanding on one of our parts. I know that I can set it so all NEW members have a certain default, but I can't see how EXISTING members can (as a bulk action) have their option forced to 'latest post last' if their profile is currently set 'latest post first' ?

Gotcha, thank you.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. :)
