Ive noticed lately that if I respond to a topic it gets out order ie: 1 2 5 3 4 6. Do I have something set wrong?

I noticed the same thing and very,very annoying but figured out that it was when I hit the quote button. If you quote someone your post will appear under theirs and not at the end of the thread.

You have to be smarter than the equipment you are trying to operate

If you quick reply or reply quote it will show up under the persons topic. If you reply topic it will go in sequence

OK but not everyone is replying to the topic. They are replying to a comment in the post. Therefore, it won't ever be a running number. Too bad there is not a data sort you can click though. Then, if you want to read in order, you could.

I always use the "reply topic" & still goes out of order.

Danny the only time I find this is when someone is typing at the same time and hits send before I do . Keep an eye on it and let us know if it is doing it on a regular basis.
Thanks

Danny,

Can you provide the name of a topic this has happened and I will check it out and try to determine a solution.

Andy, it's about all of them that I post a reply to, & some dont have a post number. Let me look & I'll let you know more specifically.
"2016 National Rally", the last few are out of order.
"Westlake tires" has no post numbers.
Those just an example.

Danny,

I think I know how to solve your display issue.

Go to recent topics and select any of the topics that are displayed. At the top you will find the forum tabs - Index, Recent Topics, New Topic, ........ The 2nd level has you avatar and welcome message. The 3rd level has the location address - forum/xxxx.......

On the 4th level, in the left hand box you have options for reply, subscribe, favourites. In the next box, I believe you will currently have text boxes - "Flat" and "Threaded".

Please select the "Flat" button. The posts will re-order and the 2 boxes will now change to, "Threaded" and "Indented". Messages should now be displayed in chronological order.

Changing the message display option on 1 thread should apply to all threads.

If that doesn't help, please advise and I'll look for something else.

Thanks Andy (or should I say Mr. President) that solved the problem.
