Hey Scottiemom,
Thank you for letting us know your thoughts. If you read below a couple of our users have suggested a lot of great ways to view all the latest content. The other suggestion I have for you when viewing content is the sort button right above the latest reply. Here you can pick to view content from Oldest to Newest or Newest to Oldest. So for your "Old Fella" post, you can view the replies from Newest to Oldest so it doesn't go back to the first reply!
Hopefully, these suggestions help!
Thank you for your help MNtundraRet and opnspaces!
