When the number of posts in a Thread goes over to Page 2, the latest post is on Page two. Most forums have the posts ordered such that when the Thread goes to more than one page the posts are arranged in reverse order so that the latest post is at the top.

I think this would be convenient.

Some forums are like that, not many though.

I think that would be way too confusing

Hmm, well I wouldn't find that really helpful or...detrimental I guess.  I haven't seen a forum that uses it though.

I've never seen a forum set up that way either... so, I guess we've come to the conclusion it would do much good.

oh! That's strange cos most forums I have seen are set up like that. Anyway haven't you guys noticed it here? When I enter a thread I automatically go to the first page of the thread. So suppose a thread had say 5 pages, I'd have to manually go to page 5 to see the latest posts.

Anyway it does seem like a unanimous agreement that it's not a good idea :)

I'd much rather go with the standard for most forums than be confused, if you know what I mean...

I think it's too late now, as said above, don't want to confuse people, and now you have people used to this layout :)
