RTT said: Errrr.....why are these messages in reverse order? Is it a new feature? If so, it's a sensible one!!! I have just received a complaint about it too, though.I'm afraid its a 'feature' of the way it is constructed: because this topic does not have threads, each post is behaving like each of the (for example) quotations in the quotes topic. | ||
