First, thanks for the compliment on the site.  That is very nice to hear and we really appreciate the kind words.

Now, regarding your other questions.  We have now activated the user option to sort each topic in either ascending or descending order.  So, when you click a topic, if you will click the wrench tool you will now see that you have the option of sorting by newest to oldest or vice-versa.  You will need to choose that feature for each topic but then it will hold your settings for future sessions.

As for the other, we have not found a feature on this particular bulletin board program that will allow you to choose a setting that will take you directly to the newest unread post.  That sounds like a feature I would appreciate as well – however it is not available. 

You can, however, subscribe to "watched topics" or "subscribed topics" (located at the bottom, left-hand side within each topic).  Once you do that then you are notified when new posts have been added through the little pink/red boxes located at the top right-hand portion of the forum page (you must be logged in to see them).  When a new post occurs in your watched and/or subscribed to topic then the pink box turns red.  When red box is clicked it will take you to the first unread post in the topics to which you subscribe.  Does that make sense?

Thanks, Belinda-Marie…
