Is there a setting somewhere in the forum (I haven't found it) to make sure I see threads in chronological order, with older posts shown first and nothing skipped? It seems to me like some of the forums in the SDL Community show me the posts in a thread in such a whimsical order that it's difficult to know who said what first, I have to keep looking at the time when things were posted to make sure I'm reading in the right order.
Hi Nora,
I am afraid the order depends on what the person who replies is replying to.
See for example some recent threads in the Beta Community (only available to Beta Group members):
https://community.sdl.com/sdl-groups/studio_beta_group/f/37/t/5921#pi6615=2
In that thread, the reply by Walter posted on 9 Dec 2015 10:08 AM appears before my reply posted on 9 Dec 2015 9:15 AM.
Walter mentions my reply, so the reading of the thread is very confusing, since you first read Walter's message mentioning my reply, and then my reply. And, finally, a reply by Daniel posted on 9 Dec 2015 9:04 AM (before both the above replies) appears as the last reply.
This is indeed far for being clear. I guess the solution might be to always reply to the last comment in a thread, but on the other hand the fact that you can reply to a specific comment is useful. So I am not sure how this can be solved. Probably the tool that handles the forum should be instructed to always publish comments chronologically in a thread, ignoring the comment you are replying to.
Regards,
Marco
Marking a reply as the answer doesn't change things, it looks like newest to oldest is the default order.
