Have to agree with Wiley, Danny. Maybe it's my server, but I frequently have to spend forever waiting for page 1 of a multi page thread to load just so I can click over to the current page of a long thread I've been following.
Wouldn't it be possible to drop a line to the software people who wrote this program to ask them if this option could be made available as a patch or as part of a future version?
I'm sure the vast majority of people following a multipage thread have read the earlier pages and just want to see the new posts. If someone is a latecomer to the thread, he can do the multi clicking we all have to go through now to check earlier posts.
Note I'm not asking for a reversal in the order of posts, just that the first page that is displayed when the thread reaches two or more pages is the page with the last posts on it.
