My users are clamboring for me to add sort order to their Settings. I added it a couple versions back but of course I love to upgrade when you come out with upgrades so here I go again... unless... :)

add another field to the database,
then on the user options add show posts ascending or descending

in the common.asp file bring in the value.

then where the query for the posts for the thread (forum_posts.asp) .. where the query is to get the post, where it says Order by postdate ASC;

put an if statement where

if x = true then
Descending code
Else
Ascending code
END IF

X= users choice

you will have to make sure you have the correct SQL which ever outcome from the if statement is.

Postdate is not a field but is an example
