The order of the posts in a thread
« on: March 06, 2026, 06:07:30 PM »
I realise that this is a bit trivial but in the dim and distant past posts used to read like a book the earliest first and getting newer as you read down the page, now the most recent reply is at the top of the page and thread. Likewise page one is always the newest posts and the oldest on the highest numbered page. I've looked and I can't find where to change this but I'm sure it used to be possible?.I prefer to read a subject like a book rather than most recent at the top. It's there any way to change this setting on my account, I simply can't find it?

Go to home page then profile, then modify profile and there is a tick box to change the order.

Thanks I had another go, for some reason on my phone it's really difficult to select 'profile' and get to the sub menus as it simply reverts all the time but eventually I managed to get into the correct sub menu (which I'd been unable to find at all previously) and sort it out. I'm on Android 16 so maybe there is a minor incompatibility in the forum software?

Hi

Did a quick search and no obvious comments re issues with Android 16 with the SMF forum software.

Are you using a browser or app on the phone?

I'm on chrome browser app,  when I click on 'profile' I can see a sub menu appear in a box but as soon as I take my finger off it disappears. With a bit of toing and froing of frantic pressing  I can get there eventually, possibly just a peculiarity of the particular phone os. I'll try it on a different browser. Anyway the main issue is fixed now

Hi

With profile on my iPad and iPhone the first press brings up a sub menu, then if you press it again it goes to the Summary screen. At the top right of the Summary Screen is a toggle which turns on the profile menu on the left hand side. I do not have Android to test sadly.
