Every time I open a thread it goes to the newest post. I've toggled my options but, I can't seem to figure out how to get my preference set to see the oldest/original post first when I open a thread. Any ideas?

Re: Starting at the end instead of the beginning
Mine does this as well, and I fucking hate it. How do you get it to start at the beginning of the thread?

Re: Starting at the end instead of the beginning
I'd like to know this as well. Annoying as hell.

Re: Starting at the end instead of the beginning
What I do that works is when I click on a thread, as soon as the screen refreshes I put the cursor on the right side "top" scroll arrow and click it.When the thread loads I'm on the first post.

Re: Starting at the end instead of the beginning
I was having the same problem, and stumbled in here with the intent of posting this question till I saw this thread. With no helpful responses, I thought I would try and figure it out.
Not going to swear that I have this figured out, but after playing with the settings I think I have got it.
1. Click on my stuff at the top of the page.
2. Choose edit display preferences.
3. At default watch sort choose creation time.
<span style="font-weight: bold">4. Default starting view must be set to Traditional Forum View </span>
5. Scroll to bottom of page and click submit.
I did this and then I went into some forums that I had not visited before and then picked threads with multiple pages. I did this 7 or 8 times. Each time it took me to the first post on the first page of the thread.
Hope this helps everybody.
ETA: The above seems to be hit or miss. I just logged in, went to a thread that was 5-6 pages long and it does not take me to the first post in the thread. It took me to the last page. Then when I came to this thread to edit my post above it took me to the first post of this thread. IDK and good luck to all trying to find out.
ETA: 3-16-11 added step 4 above. Tested on multiple threads that had six or more pages and each and every time it started on page 1 post 1.

Re: Starting at the end instead of the beginning
All I do is click the page # under the subject/poster heading
for example for a multi page topic like this one in optics forum.

I'd click the #1 for the first page/first post to open.

It is kind of hit or miss. Sometimes it seems to work perfect. Other times not so perfect.

Holy HELL, THANKS!!! I had to also go to Cookies and "expire cookies" to get every forum and thread to work. You need to log in again after doing this.
