How about reversing the post ORDER with in your forums?
|
It might be cool if when someone views a forum post, they see the NEWEST replies first followed by the older replies. This way when someone clicks into a post, they see the NEWEST information FIRST!!! After you test it out for a while and get some feedback, you can always change it back if people don't like it. You could also program this feature as a selectable option that people could choose how to view the post they're viewing. Just a thought!

When you query your MySQL database, you can sort the results by any field in an ascending or descending order by just adding 'ORDER BY' at the end of your query. You would use ORDER BY field_name ASC for an ascending sort, or ORDER BY field_name DESC for a descending sort. Try searching Google for "php query order ASC" for additional HOW-TO information and check it out.

The forum software doesnt use mysql, but uses just simple flat files.
This version of the forum was a huge improvement over the previous version, and should improve in the next version. Its a good idea, but I'm not sure if we can implement it at this time.
