D'ya think people's heads might hut less if the threads in this forum read downwards instead of upwards?
This is the only forum I've known to do it this way, I think the other method is popular for a reason.
Does it not annoy anyone eles when you have to scroll up to reach the start of a message, down to read it, back up to the next message, down to read it.....
I can see that's it's easier for accessing more recent posts, but this going up and down just doesn't allow for a nice reading flow. There are three solutions
1) Don't change it
2) Change it do threads read down
3) change it so text reads upwards (perhaps confusing at first, but I'm sure we'd all get used to it...and it could be revolutionary )

I'll give it two days before you PREFER to read the messages this way.

[Did it ever occur to you that not everybody likes reading messages back to front. No, shut up, we have to be confident. We must take firm decisive action. He's bound to get used to it and prefer it. DOH - you never let me have my way. I said shut up, go to sleep for gods sake]
