But once I have logged in, the latest report is at the front of the list.
Is this normal?
You have "Show most recent posts at the top." ticked in your profile, under "Look and Layout Preferences"
Some confusion to what the standard should be may have caused that, - but either way, you can reset it by unticking it.
Since the last upgrade, many people may have found the look&feel has changed. This is probably because we try to run the new software, with the old Theme. Some of the features we were used to in the old version, has now moved into the theme, and since we're using the old theme, they are not there.
Personally I have changed to a copy of the bundled Theme - which I have called "default with CA modifs". Its different, but I think it is the way to go. When we're finished testing/polishing, it will be made the forum default.
