The original first posting that comes up for me is dated 12-03-23 6:59am.
The very next reply is the LAST one in the thread dated 12-06-23 6:17pm.
Which means I have to scroll all the way to the bottom and follow the topic upward,
Exactly opposite in chronological order as far as I can tell.
Any other site I participate in is much more user friendly, this is just my opinion, but that's what matters to me personally so ya got that.
I think the default order is that the original post appears at the top and if I am to draw any conclusion, the idea is that people will always be reminded about what the topic is about each time they come to the post. Then, the first actual post below the topic post is the newest post made by a member. That's how it works in my opinion. This might be one of the actual features I don't mind (though it does take a bit of an adjustment to get used to it). So often these threads go into rabbit holes that the original conversation is lost. That is kind of just human nature but at least folks will have a quick and easy way to see what the post is about each time they check in.

Oh... this is interesting! When you reply to someone else's post, it doesn't get inserted as the last post in the thread, at least with the default sort order. The reply appears after the post you replied to. That is interesting. In one sense, that is kind of nice but wow you gotta know that is what it is doing or your going to winder what happened to your post!

To insert the quote, you hit Reply and then click on the Quote Icon to actually insert the comment you are replying to in your post ( " it's the 5th icon from the left on the top of your new reply box). It's an odd extra step, but it works for now. Hopefully they can fix the software so insert quote is automatic.
