| | Topic/Reply Format (POLL CLOSES TUESDAY NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!) |  |
|
|
| How do you want topic threads structured? | | A) I like the way it is. Original post at the bottom, newest replies at the top. | | 40% | [ 10 ] | | B) I would like it changed, so that the original post always remains at the top, and the newest replies are at the bottom/last page. | | 56% | [ 14 ] | | C) Those are your only two choices. If you pick 'C', I'll assume your computer refuses to scroll, thus you've lost the battle already. | | 4% | [ 1 ] |

| Ok, so I've noticed that a few people are asking how to switch their format so that the original post to a topic will always be at the top, with the newest post to that topic always at the bottom (opposite of what we have now). I personally don't like that idea, only because once this thing gets big, and a lot of posts are being added to a topic, you'll be scrolling and scrolling and flipping through pages to find the newest posts you haven't read yet.
But...this is America, and most decisions on this site will be made via Democracy. So, I put it to vote.
I will keep this poll up for 4 days, so that the weekday/'I'm at work and bored as Hell' posters have a chance to vote as well.
Thanks again, all.

| How about this?
The OP FIRST, then start with the newest posts after that.
I would like that. | |

| I'd love this if it was set up more like MgoBlog. Much easier to scroll down compared to going backwards and scrolling up. | |

| Can I please change my previous vote? I originally picked "B", but after using the format more, I realize that the way you currently have it is very good. I just had to play catch up a bit.
So mark me down as an "A"
Question: Is there anyway of having the original post show first and then the newest comments commence? That way you would be in on subject without scrolling all the way back.
Thanks | |

| I know it reads differently, but a member changed his vote. It's 10 to 10 (to 1....but that guy....  ) Closing the poll tonight when I go to bed. If it's tied....it remains the way it is. (And that will be the way it always goes on polls. For something to be changed, I need the majority to vote for 'change'. A tie isn't enough.)

| After getting this many users on the site (Great job by the way) I think it might be better the other way around a la S&M. I am respectfully requesting to change my vote.

That's two votes changed now.... One orig for A, now for B. The other orig for B, now for A. So...that's a wash. lol
