Thanks, I suspect that we will keep the present latest-at-the-bottom-of-the-page look, for various reasons, not least that if you start reading the other way, you may not remember where you had already go to, but we will certainly flag the 'latest post' feature...

Strange day when you read the latest post first
Post first and it says ‘yes’ and you have to go back 5 pages to see it was just a question about removing fuse 15 and another10 mins of my life has gone by..

Yeah, people should quote a bit (not all!) of the relevant post so the reader has some context. Coming from the old days of internet news groups it was unthinkable to quote vast tracts of a post just to add one or two lines (bandwidth was precious in thise days!).

Was unaware of the feature until scm pointed it out so good idea to flag it and any others I might not know about :shock:

I’m fairly new to this forum, but am certainly a converted F-Type enthusiast since my purchase last March! I agree with loads of others suggestions. It would be nice if the forum was more “user friendly” and better looking , a bit more like the well known social media platforms. It would be great if posting photos and videos was much easier.….but somehow really need avoid the nasty social media trolls and unwelcome ads and spam that we all see elsewhere? We only want to enjoy talking about our Jaaaag, admire all the others on here, and when we can, help each other out with wisdom, knowledge, and experience (I’m still learning, but there are people on here who are really helpful and willing to share experience of the F-Type)

Yeah, you’ve got a point! LOL. Probably best avoided. 😆
