Not sure if anyone has asked this or what it would require for effort but would it be possible to arrange a thread by the most recent reply on top? Like have a link that you could click on to rearrange the order, that way for a thread like word association the latest reply would always be on top.

But, you'd lose chronology and context that way? I know i'd never use such a feature myself.

I assume you suggested this because you dont like having to scroll down a long thread every time someone has added something to it. How about a link that takes you straight to the new comment(s), so there's no need to scroll anymore?

(btw, scrolling is for dumbasses anyway; use ctrl-end)

I suggested it because they started a new word association game because the last one was too long and on some sites there is the option of what way it lists the posts. I use the Ctrl+Home/End also.

How about when you click the link to the thread, it takes you to the first unread post?

Would what Emanuel suggested be enough? That makes more sense to me than being able to reverse the order of a thread.

Yeah, what Emanuel said. Also shouldn't there be "pages" in threads?

I'll add pagination eventually...maybe.

I think the topic should always open a thread normally; from the top. But if there's a [N], there could be an extra link visible (or maybe the N itself?) that takes you to the new comments.

And pagination is so 2004 :) For longer threads, extra posts should be loaded as you scroll down, like twitter.

I agree with Jans. and pagination is just not bots style, if its added there will never be a "Word Association XXX".

never? Think of this...

If the pagination gets to 1000 or something, that would take a lot of scrolling, so...more word xxx. :)

I think that a regular link for the title of the thread that lots normally, and add onto that a link on the N that takes you to the newest post would be enough
