Would it be possible to list the last post to a forum on top instead of the first and be able to post a reply at the top instead of having to scroll to the bottom of the posts to reply? Some are pretty long with many replies.

Re: Forum set up

The long threads are getting a bit cumbersome to read. I'm looking at a few different options for making long threads easier to navigate -- including splitting onto multiple pages and/or automatically jumping to posts that are new since the last time you viewed the thread -- but flipping the chronology of the threads is probably not something we'll do. (Part of the reason for putting the "quick reply" form at the bottom of the page is to encourage people to read the entire thread before replying.)
