Oldest post first. It's the way just about every other forum works, and people get used to it very quickly. Maybe you'd have more 'regular posters' if the board made more intuitive sense.
Honestly, the regulars will get used to it...if you're really here that much, you'll know that in the "Bitchin' Camaro" thread, you're on page three.
It's so obvious it's just an issue of change -- the blue was a pain (not that the purple is much better, but it's only one line per post).
I'm not trying to piss anyone off, but if you're really that concerned with hyper-speed virtual conversations, go into a chat room.
