Maybe been said, but why does it take you to some reply in the middle of the thread when you are opening the thread for the very firt time??

Because it goes to the first reply posted since the last time you logged on, I guess assuming that every time you log on you keep current with every thread on here. I don't like it either.

It should go to the first reply since the last time you visited the thread, not since you log on.

Sucks to be reading the first post in a long thread for the first time and then having it automatically jump to the bottom when the page is done loading.

You can get around this by leaving a window open to 2+2 all day every day. I think that's what most of us do anyway.

That would be nice, but would probably require setting a new cookie for every thread you look at, which probably isn't worth the resources.

Before, the replies you haven't read were in bold, so they were already flagged already.

There are people that close out 2+2 sometimes? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

So basically the assumption is that OOTers have no life?

i don't ever close 2p2 b/c i am lazy and hate logging into sites, but the new software is still a pain in the ass.

i liked the bolded names for the unread posts so much better and i also don't like this reverse order thing, my mind doesn't work that way. first post under the OP should be the first post in response and so on after that. i know some don't view in threaded modes and i don't either but when a thread has 100+ replies and i have already viewed them all and i come back and there are 14 new posts i am going to look at them individually, not in flat mode and now i am having a hard time finding them. so i don't even bother.

I agree 100%. This format is a major PITA.
