Hi!
How do I sort the forum posts so the new ones comes first instead of last?

sorry you can’t .

it’s a know issue but it’s not very high on the to-do list as the forums are working and there are more important things to fix first.

I hope it won’t stay “not very high” — right now, with only a week or so of slow posting by only the forum regulars who’ve discovered things are happening again, the new forums are merely hideously awkward and annoying to trudge through. Anything like a fast-moving sale thread as was common in the old forums will quickly — if not immediately — degenerate into complete and utter chaos, with probable hostility and bad feelings from lost sale opportunities. DAZ depends on the forums for getting a lot of information out. The sooner this mess is fixed, the better.

I agree, I hope it is one of the first things they deal with on the forum isssues.

I agree.

It is really hard to find things in the forum. Not so bad when there are only four or five pages.
As the page count grows, the site will eventually become more than useless.

“More than useless” is still better than “less than useless”, isn’t it?

Mike,
Nobody likes a smarta$$.  I can tell you from first hand experience.

I also hope this moves up the priority list.
No banners and avatars is annoying… no sorting of new posts is a deal-breaker.
Every other forum I’ve visited has this functionality. Surely, this must be a standard behavior. Every other forum can’t be coding this in - can they?
More or less - the absence makes the forum progressively useless. Without the sort it will only get worse.

I hope this gets resolved soon along with the no Avatar or images in signature.

One temporary work around i have found, is that when a new topic appears that I am interested in I subscribe to the topic and get e-mails when there are responses.  It seems that new topics are loaded to page one of the forum, and olny responses are not moved up.  I am hoping DAZ gets the forums fixed but in the meantime this is working for me.

I hope this helps.
