Is there a way to get newest replies in a topic to display first? Trying to read the new acquisitions thread and it takes forever to get to the new posts.
At the bottom corner you’ll see the number of posts. Click that. A slider shows up and you just drag to the most recent post.
But what’s cool is Discourse tracks the most recent post you’ve read in a thread and takes you to it. So clicking the title of a thread should take you to the most recent unread post.

Tim: Could you explain that again? I have no idea how it works.
If you’re logged in and you click a topic, by default, the topic will open at the last entry you read. If you’ve never read that topic, you will enter at the first post. So, the title links to the last unread post by default.
Last activity time can be clicked to get to the latest post regardless of what you’ve read.
The replies number, when you click it, gives you a scroll bar that allows you to go to any post number you want by just dragging up or down. As seen in the images in the previous post.

Thanks! I knew there had to be a way!
Ha! Yeah, it’s basically the same thing, just where to you interface with it. After going over the Discourse boards, there really isn’t a way to reverse the timeline, just where you jump in, and the system does a good job of tracking (cookies!) where you were last in any given thread. And Sam Saffron, co-founder of Dicourse says there is no plan to implement a reverse response feature.
