    Shoutbawx

    <LATM> LATM
    <LATM> Thanks,
    <LATM> Even adding an option simply to reverse the order would be good too
    <LATM> So, please consider changing it with new messages at the bottom!
    <LATM> Anyone sharing a story that takes up more than one line gets read out of order.
    <LATM> I was just reading a longer story from the moderator Jaerin that exemplified how annoying this is.
    <LATM> We read from the top and go down, yet the messages appear in reverse order.
    <LATM> Why are new posts near the top and old ones near the bottom?
    <LATM> The order and direction the chatbox displays messages is driving me nuts.
    <LATM> I'm going to write this post the way it would appear in the Shoutbawx to get my point across.
    <LATM> I've got a suggestion related to the way the Shoutbawx performs on the site.

    TLDR; everything else in our language reads top down, why is our chatbox bottom up.

    its not always 1 person. Any conversation ends up reading the exact same way
    kinda uncool to just dismiss with 0 explanation. Everything in our language reads top down, why does our chat read bottom up

    Because that's the way it works. We'd have to redesign the entire thing for it.

    Youd have to add like 2 lines of code for the functionality and add in about 2 hooks to allow user selection to sort that out.


    Not that I disagree, newest messages should be at the top...

    newest messages should be on top. that it sometimes makes it more difficult to read, is simply how it is.
    Upwards down and the reverse both have benefits and negatives.
