I also prefer reverse chronological order by default. Would be great if the old behavior that latej described was reimplemented. 'Jump to new' doesn't always work (sometimes doesn't recognize I've already seen the post) or not always desirable (ex: long thread where I prefer to skip to end and start with last page.. I can navigate backwards if I need context). Thanks.Yes, the forum posts.
If I remember correctly, there used to be a setting "Thread view", with options. I set "Latest first" long time ago. It's good if you follow a thread, you see someone posts (perhaps even with notification), you make 1 click and see it. I'd expect it should be the default
I am glad someone else used that feature. I find it very useful for certain things that I wasn't sure most members would care about.
. I found the site doesn't allow me to open more than N tabs. When I open the site, I see new posts, open them in tabs, then go read them. Recently the site decides to block when I open more than N (you know the exact nr.), and then all other sub-sequent requests, until some time-out. It seems no-one else complains about it but me though, maybe majority reads the site more sequentially.
I don’t like this proposal. I think the forum should be open for everyone. It’s ok if you want to censor information to yourself, but I don’t think you should be able to censor information to others.
speaking as a retired network admin, things like cursor slowness etc may relate to network issues for individual users (their wifi provider, or their own router or browser, or computer hardware for instance) performance issues for users round the world are bound to be different and will often have local causes. That's one of the reasons it's very helpful to have a real IT pro assisting with diagnosis so you don't waste time on things beyond your control. Making sure your server processes are near to optimum performance should be your general aim
