RE: Newest First problem

I just conducted a test, I use Firefox and I get am still getting this problem, I opened some pages from GN with IE9 and ALL the pages were ok ie: newest first.

My thought's are that this could be a firefox problem, matbe a recent update has caused this to happen.

What to do now?  Use IE for logging into GN until FF has another update.

You guys that are getting this problem, what browser are you using?
IE or FF or something else

I think I have this problem figured. When you click on 'newest first' it brings up the newest post on this topic. This is good when there are a lot of posts on the same topic, so you don't have to scroll through all posts to get to the ones you haven't yet read. The link the reverts back to 'older posts first' by default. If it did not do this we would be opening topics and seeing newest posts first, which could be way off track to what the original post was about and we would be wondering 'what the...is that about. So we need to see 'oldest first' to see what the original post was about in the thread to understand subsequent posts. I'm not sure I've explained this well, but I hope it makes some kind of sense.

It has always been your choice it you wanted to see the oldest first then you click that one or the newest first you clicked that one and your chioce stayed that way now it keeps changing.

My apologies, Wombat. I'm new to this forum business ans I was unaware that it used to be different. And here I was thinking I was soooooo clever.

 no need to apologies, because everybody's system is differant and we also do not use the same programs to access internet, so there could be several variables in this problem.

do you use FF or IE?

Hi Everyone,
The Sparklit helpdesk have just written to let me know that they have now found the problem and have fixed it.  Is anyone still having issues with the display of 'newest first'?

 biggrinbiggrinbiggrin Now that's my sort of quote!

When asked "How do I load stuff on my ereader." I replies in all seriousness, I don't know, I just press this button and it appears like magic."

The IT specialist nearly choked on his coffee.
