Useful info for board newbies about reading posts

GraceInCA

I'm copying & pasting what I posted back in February on another board. I think a lot of people don't know this info. I recently installed a new browser, and had to reset this, which is what reminded me of it. This will make your browsing experience on The Bump much, much better.

 

C&P:

 The default setting on this board is not great. It sorts posts by "Original Post Date" instead of "Last Post Date". It's much easier to read threads this way, because sometimes useful threads and info that have a lot of contributions get buried into the 2nd page with the default settings.

The fix is super easy. You just go to any board (TTGP as an example), scroll down to the bottom, and below the last post you'll see a beige tab called "Viewing Preferences", here you would change the "sort" from "Original Post Date" to "Last Post Date" and click on "Apply".

Hope that helps someone.

I have tried viewing the board that way and it personally drives me crazy. I would rather see posts as they are being posted and catch up on new comments by looking at the # of views and responses. But, that's just me and my personality!  Good job for letting everyone know the other way is an option.

This is me totally. I like to see who is responding by the # of views and last person who wrote a response.  Options are great though!!
