I think your view settings are for newest to oldest. The default setting is from oldest to newest.I didn’t realise this! I don’t recall changing it. I’ve set it to “oldest to newest” now - I think I’ll find this more intuitive.

Another user question
What’s the difference between Unread Posts and Recent Posts (on the top left of the page, below the search bar)?
Recent Posts → shows the latest activity across the forum.
Unread → shows threads you’ve opened before, which now have new replies you haven’t seen yet.
So if you never opened a thread, it won’t appear in Unread — only ones you’ve already looked at and “need” to catch up on. Also, if you’re currently reading a thread and you click on “Recent Posts” or “Unread,” you’ll be exiting the thread. We had one user who got confused because she thought she could access the newest post in the thread by clicking “Recent Posts,” but it’s not thread-specific. (If this has been an issue for you, do share it with us too!) -
@slmkhoo Regarding the post colour: For every thread, the original poster’s messages will all be in a light blue background (not just the first post), whereas the rest will have a white background, like this:
If you (or other users) have any feedback or suggestions for improvement on this, do let us know!

Another forum update:
Apart from having the first post of the topic appearing in a different colour from the subsequent replies, our tech team has added this:
Whenever the original poster responds, an “OP” (Original Poster) label will be displayed next to their replies.

Thanks for the tips and tricks!

Just to update that our default view setting for topics (i.e. individual discussion threads) has been changed to “Newest to Oldest.”
Due to the large amount of data on our forum, some new posts haven’t been showing up in the “Oldest to Newest” view, so this is the best workaround at the moment.
If you suspect that you’re still seeing only the old posts in each discussion thread, click on your profile icon on the right, and then select the Settings option:
:You will reach a page where you can customise all your forum settings, including this:
If these are your settings, you should have no issues viewing the newest posts in each discussion thread. Hope this helps!
