OK, clearing last hour has got rid of previous residue. :thumbs:

Now I will try replying to this...

Thanks as aways Chris.

Will try waiting for the splash screen to interrupt an edit.

I am looking at the Topic Review item below the reply.

Is it possible to have a Reverse/Forward sort option?

Some text Still stuck? Ask an expert  That was in a modern font, your mod has stripped the formatting.

Hey!  I went browsing elsewhere, the splash screen kicked in, I returned, swiped it away and hey presto, it was just as I left it.  ^_^

The ultimate test would be to turn the Mac off but not keen on trying that, I have a very large UPS specially to avoid that scenario...

So it seems to pass all I can throw at it.

What, to enable the most recent post to be at the top?

Not sure I have come across that, in some ways it makes sense, although I would have thought that would be better in the user preferences, rather than in the display screens, I can see that causing confusion for for some users?  And adding to the plethora of buttons we now seem to enjoy.  Simple is good.

On the BBC News website, the HYS comments give the option to have 'Newest first' or 'Oldest first' the default is 'Newest first' but I find it hard to follow the posts backwards especially when they are referring to previous posts, it's like reading a story backwards.   I always switch to 'Oldest first', much easier.

The splash screen seems to be kicking in much quicker than previously?  Getting a bit too quick maybe?

Yes.
It can be in user account Preferences as this will tend to be a personal thing.

It is set at 10 minutes. Time flies when you are enjoying yourself and faster still as you get older....:lol:

I am not sure you two are talking about the same things...

Yes, it makes sense to read the topic itself cronologically, but when replying I am assuming you have read the topic and when typing a reply the review is there to refresh your memory as to what was said in the topic, in this case it makes sense to see the most recent posts at the top immediately under the editor.

I have made a quick change, settable in config.php, that turns the REVIEW posts to newest first - if you want this to be user settable then I can add it to the preferences.

I agree with your logic but we need to cater for different modes of working if possible.
I think that it may be better to have it as a choice in user Preferences.
