    and if I find it worth continuing go to the previous page, don't think I'm the only one that does this.:pac:


    SO how about when I click
    <
    I would be taken to the last post at end of the previous page and not to the top of the page then having to scroll down.

    I think this is more logical, what do you think?

    Thread ordering was an option previously, but it was removed because it was a relatively big chunk of code that was used by very very few users. Nobody listens to conversations in reverse :pac:

    It's a previous page jump, not a previous post jump :)

    WONDER would there be a bookmarklet/button/code to do a "previous post jump"? or where should I look?

    Thanks

    The "End" button on your keyboard will automatically jump to the bottom of the current page. Save you having to scroll down the entire thing.

    If you use Firefox, there is an add-on called "autopager" which will probably do what you're looking for, but you'd have to write the script for it yourself.

    No use Opera, and am looking there as well for bookmarklet or some way of doing this. Thanks

    Solved, and it all happened by accident.:eek::rolleyes::p

    I accidently changed the "Thread display mode" to newest first and then I automatically read backwards:cool:

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
