If I get it right: Whenever you click on the underlined title of some discussion (e.g., here: "Order in which posts appear?") you seem to change your global variable (= some parameter valuable for all of the threads) that determines in which order you see the discussion threads. Maybe this is the secret behind the behavior you observed, otherwise I just don't know...


That has to be it.  Thanks.

You should have the option in your User CP - I switched it on for my own account to see what I thought of it, but I have no idea why yours should alternate between the two views. Undecided

Order in which posts appear?

Since I joined this forum some years ago, I've been used to seeing posts to given threads displayed in order of increasing recency, oldest post first, latest post at the bottom.  Over the past week or so, however, sporadically and for no particular reason that I can discern, I find that all the threads display posts in order of decreasing recency, latest post at the top, first post at the bottom.

I don't so much care which, but I would like this not to keep changing from day to day.  Am I the only one encountering this?
