JoeG, if you follow over to the right of any given thread title, in the list of titles on the main forum page, and click on the lower case "d" next to the numbers of postings, it will take you to the latest/last posting so that the thread is in descending order. That way you don't have to wade through all of the previous postings.

Another way to see the latest postings is to use the drop down menu in the Quick Links box up top and choose Messages Since Last Visit, then choose GO. You will then see a list of links to each new message.

Hope that helps.
