• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Reversing (put latest post on page 1 of Large Thread)

If already mentioned or dismissed, my apologies in advance...

On each thread, there is the OP, then #1, #2, and so on

maybe 3 pages or maybe 30 pages.

Just curious if there could be an option on a thread of say 20 pages or
larger to have the order reversed.

In other words, the OP would be at the end and the last several posts/comments would stream to page 1 (instead of page 21)

That way someone could continually see the last post on the first page.

Probably silly and picking nits but just a thought.
 
That's very simple to achieve. Go to your "User CP"; select Edit Options; under "Thread Display Options - Thread Display Mode" select "Linear - Newest First" in lieu of Oldest First.

That will be in effect for all threads, so if your question is strictly related to having it done for threads over a threshold of n pages, then the answer is no, it can't be done. But, I don't think it should ever be done that way unless you would prefer a very confusing set of threads where one is newest first, the next is oldest first, etc.
