I don't find it that counter-intuitive. I almost always use the "jump to last post" option to view topics, anyway. You can just start from the first page by clicking on the "p: 1" part, if you want to.

I agree. To be honest, most of this forum works differently from "standard" forums. I've mentioned this before, but nobody else seem to care.
I also find it annoying that you can't see who the last poster is, only the first. I don't much care who has started a given thread, but I'd like to be able to see who has posted last. Especially if I've posted there myself recently.

You can always click on '1' as pkt-zer0 said, but I agree with the latter

Personally, I like the way it works. However, what I think would make it very useful is to show the Original Post a the top of the page to give the reader a reference point.
This is how it work in the Space Empires V forums.
You have to scroll to the bottom to get to page 2 but you will see the original post on every page.

This would make for a great way of reading posts and being able to give Positives to the OP.

click on the number 1.

Sounds good, but why don't you just use a normal piece of forum software?

i like the forum software here, much more interesting than the standard forums you get on most sites... trying new tings from time to time is stimulating ;-)

Good to hear the GOG guys are actively listening to their customers. Far too many companies don't really do that anymore. Keep it it up and you'll be keeping me as a customer for a very long time.
I'm with the OP on the whole thread display issue, though I didn't consider it to be something worthy of reporting. I am very used to forums displaying oldest before newest and those I have encountered that did not do that by default usually had the option to change that in the user's preferences. I was kind of surprised that this one did not, but once I discovered that clicking on the page numbers could accomplish the same thing, it was no longer an issue for me.

yes, yes, yes.. if there's one thing i hate about gog, it's this. Please fix it!!

Nice. This has been bugging me to no end.

I thought this was weird as well, but didn't see fit to complain. I am glad that the option will be available, though. :)

Wow, thanks! Options are always good. I didn't mean to come across as too complaining, was mostly an observation that it worked differently from most.
I am always impressed with GoG's responsiveness.
<3 you guys!
