Thread display default

I am not sure how it happened, but on my forum, when someone post a new thread, the display is the newest post at the top. I would change this in forum manager, correct? Default sort order? Should it be ascending or decending as the default?

Look for the Thread Display settings in vBulletin Options. This sets the default view mode for new members:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> User Registration Options -> Thread Display Mode -> Linear - Oldest First

To reset options for existing users:

Admin CP -> Import & Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query -> Automatic Query -> Posts - Oldest First

Then click on 'Continue'.

And finally to do this just for yourself:

User CP -> Edit Options -> Thread Display Options -> Thead Display Mode -> Linear - Oldest First

Steve, I found the 1st & 3rd deals to do, but I cannot find Admin CP -> Import & Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query -> Automatic Query -> Posts - Oldest First. I am not seeing the import & maintinace. I think I am not finding for whatever reason. Thanks in advance, Guy.
