Any Way To Change Thread Display to stayIn Most Recent?

Don’t see a Display setting for how to format thread display to always show recent posts within a given thread.  I see you can change a given thread, while in it, but we had a way to change our own displays to always show recent, show a certain number of posts, etc… where can I go to change MY display to always show recent posts first in ALL threads?

    We have changed this feature so all are now showing Newest first, and are closing this thread to replies.  We are glad we could quickly resolve this for you all!

    Threads on the boards are now sorted by default — by NEWEST first, finally!   User input is important beforehand.

    ​@SereneSeagull you can change the sort order at the topic level, there are 3 options:  Most recent, Newest first and most views.  On the thread page, you can sort at the top of the replies section, select Newest first to display most recent replies.

    Yes, but for each post one makes, right… I get that.  But it doesn’t stay, and no way to change for the entire board permanently.  I’ll look again,

    It seems that none of us can post.

    It’s a delayed post from what I’m seeing, not instant it seems, ​@ChasKy53 , which will make the song title threads unplayable.  Hoping that’s just because it just got rolled out.  Not sure how this is more robust. lol

    There should be no delays in posts at this time.
