Viewing posts in a certain order

Posted by DevNull

Didn't there used to be a setting so we could view posts in whatever order - by default - that we wanted?
Or is there a way to do it and I'm just too stupid to see it?
I personally dislike this "relevance" concept and for the most part, voting.
I just want to see posts chronologically, either oldest first or newest. And I know I can do it, but for every thread? Please tell me there is an option I am missing.

    Got confused and thought you meant something else and deleted my original comment then realized I had it right the first time. Me when the new sorting happened: Deimos:

    Will we have a way to change our default comment sorting? I appreciate what is being done here, but for now I'd rather have raw votes. I don't think I'm seeing so many jokes that I'd want them artificially bumped down, for example.

    Probably eventually, but not yet. It makes it a lot more difficult to figure out why certain adjustments aren't working well if the people that don't like them just stop using the sorting method entirely instead of giving feedback about why they don't like it (and finding examples of it being a problem).

    Comment threads are generally still very small and tags are rare, it's unlikely that this is going to impact you much at all yet.
