    In a thread, is there a way to have the last posted reply at the top rather than at the end? Now posts in a thread are listed oldest to newest. I’d like them to be newest first and the oldest further down the list. Thanks.

    Clicking on the "Latest Activity" tab should provide the view that you're looking for. You can edit the module on the page to set that as the default tab if you wish.

      Wouldn’t mind pointing me to how to adjust the module. I’d like it to be the default for everyone and not something that someone has to choose each time they read a thread. Any pointers would be appreciated. I’m only semi-techy.

        1. Click "Edit Page" in the Site Builder menu when viewing a topic.
        2. Click the Pencil icon for the Conversation Detail Module.
        3. Select "Edit Module".
        4. Change the value for "Default Tab" to Latest Activity.
        5. Save the module.
        6. Save the page.

        Users can set this in their account settings...
        1. Click My Settings on the drop down menu seen by clicking their name.
        2. Click on "Account".
        3. Change the "Display Mode"
        4. Save the settings.

          Like I said previously we had some modification to the original software and the first instructions don’t work. When I click on the pencil in the Edit Module setting, nothing happens. But the user setting does so that will work for us. Thanks so much for your time and knowledge.

            For clarity, both sets of instructions do work on a default, standard installation.

              I suspect there's a Javascript error that causes this issue. Check the Javascript console for any error by pressing F12 and opening Console tab.
