Wall Comments

**Blue Bird** · 10-27-2008, 05:28 AM

So I was thinking about it today, and I think it would be better to make NEW wall comments appear at the BOTTOM, instead of on the top.

Yeah I know this is useless really, but seriously, WTF? Why do knew ones get placed on top anyways? How would you like it if new forum posts were placed first, and... old...er... oh wait that's how it is for some WEIRD people...

And by weird I mean REALLY weird! Who the hell likes to read the newest post first! Dunno about you, but when I'm reading a book, I'd rather NOT read from the bottom of the page and go upwards.

Change the order of wall comments! Enable fun sequencial comments for us all!

Let the voting (or locking of this useless thread) BEGIN!!!

I stopped paying attention when you called me really weird, ass hole.

P.S. Make it optional. Like the forums.

Xx{Midday}xX · 10-27-2008, 05:40 AM

It may be good to have as an option, but really, I couldn't care less.

By the way, my forum posts have the first posts at the end.

pointless thread in my opinion I don't see how it could improve the community

Oooh yes. Good one! Didn't think of that. Might be too much trouble though? Dunno how they coded the thing. =.=

OMG ME TOO! We have so much in common. <3 Kidding. But I meant like, when I first join here, the first posts were at the start, which I found a pain in the ass till I knew I could change it.

It would make me happy. Therefore, it would improve the community.

rzr · 10-27-2008, 06:06 AM

See, I play reverse, half my posts newest first, and like the spiffy-new comments right on the top. So, I win.

**Blue Bird** · 10-27-2008, 06:44 AM

You also like having to click into the thread and going to the LAST PAGE just to read WTH the topic is about?

rzr · 10-27-2008, 06:49 AM

Nope, it brings me right to it. Watch, switch it around. You'll see. I actually just switched to... Your way. I like it because I like to read a lot of old tournaments and literature posts, so I don't have to click a bunch of stuff to get there.

P.S. Hey, Blue Bird, wanna shoot the **** for a while? I'm wide awake and haven't slept since... Yeah.

**Blue Bird** · 10-27-2008, 07:12 AM

Shoot the what? =D Sounds interesting.

**MasterOfTheTaco** · 10-27-2008, 07:33 AM

I think this would only benefit about ten people. Not a wonderful idea....

rzr · 10-27-2008, 08:31 AM

The ****. Feces.

**MalDON** · 10-27-2008, 08:42 AM

New ones are placed on top because that is how wall comments work on pretty much every site in existence. MySpace, Facebook, Youtube, Rithum.

The reason why the forums but the latest post at the end is because you are supposed to read the posts in order. On a comment-like page, there is no flow order, so the most recent comment goes on top. How would you like it if you had to scroll to your last page of wall comments just to see what someone posted?

rzr · 10-27-2008, 08:52 AM

You wouldn't. MalDON just raped the thread. I'm in a violent, insomnia induced, mood. Therefore, I like to think I'm better than everyone else and make crude insinuations about nonconsentual sex.

Then why are the comments for news posts in "reverse" order, with newest posts last?

rzr · 10-27-2008, 09:10 AM

So you can see the news right on the top of the page, instead of scrolling all over the page.

I prefer to read the newest post first ^^

You wouldn't have to scroll to the last page. Older comments would go out from the top, instead of the bottom. You wouldn't have to scroll ANYWHERE except to the bottom of the FFR profile, which you gotta do in most cases anyways due to Random Thoughts and Profile Chat, so I don't see how THIS fact makes any difference.

I guess if people prefer reading upwards when people have conversations through wall comments, nothing can be done. I just prefer after sending multiple posts to someone, if I'm reading them over, I can do it from top to bottom. Thought some other people would like it too. >.>

And yeah I don't see how someone can "rape" an opinion-based thread providing a suggestion. OK, most other sites are like that, fine. Doesn't mean everyone likes it.

I'll just put it this way: Some people like chatting through their walls. How would you like it if Profile Chat messages appeared from the top instead of the bottom?

rzr: "You wouldn't."

DID I RAPE THE THREAD TOO, BISH?! -_- Gawd...

TD_Project · 10-28-2008, 04:56 AM

Stopped reading the thread after the fourth post, but I would rather the new comments on top. Assuming you don't leave your profile unattended for five million days, you get to the newer possibly more important stuff first.

Unless you delete your wall comments after reading, which you should try. Organizes much better.

Sorry if i repeated anything.

rzr · 10-28-2008, 05:12 AM

Again, just make it optional. End thread.

MalDON got what I wanted to say but couldn't in one.
It makes more sense to have new wall comments at the top
