I'm confused by this site's policy on latest posts, I can see from the list that someone has recently posted but when I look a new reply seems to be places quite randomly. Tp me it breaks any flow in conversations. Am I alone in feeling this?
Just wing it and hope for the best.
Golly what a lot of faff, I don't feel confident doing any of the suggested things, I think that with my ability to mess up pooters it either wouldn't work at all or it would go horribly wrong. At least I'm not alone with it
It’s automatically set for newest at top.threads of several replies over 3 it begins to have oldest at top. Enter confusion
They go uppity-up up.
they go down diddi-down down.
If you click on the name of the person who has most recently posted and look at their profile, then go to 'activity' usually (but not always) you can see where they have posted and often then is the option 'read more' and if you take that link it takes you directly to the post.
If someone replies to the thread it goes at the top/bottom (depending on if you have newest or oldest at the top). If they reply to a specific post, it goes above/below that post. And yeah, if you have it sorted by newest it's basically impossible to keep track of which replies came in which order in a long thread with mini conversations in the middle.
You're not alone. I find it really annoying too.

Try clicking on 'oldest' at the top of the the thread ( next to 'votes' and 'Newest' ) then the posts come up in a much better order; however, if it's a long thread you will need to scroll down.
Give it try,
