The Tea Room

How come when I answer someones post inside a post that it doesn't post it under that post, but posts it under the original post instead? If you know what I mean! lol

Sometimes it works though but I have no idea why since I'm not doing anything different.

  Hi Scott:

I get confused by it too. It is called reverse threading... new posts are pushed to the top, and new responses go to the top under the new post, in order of date and time of posting. You can tell the order by looking at the date. The number in brackets beside the date tells how many responses a post has received.

This BB script did not come with many options. the only other option, you would have to scroll down to the bottom of the whole page to see new threads.

  I check the tea room pretty often, even if I don't respond right away, and it is nice to be able to see at a glance if there are new posts, without having to scroll... especially in July, with a whole year's posts! I turn over the year's archives on the course anniversary, early August.  

 Not sure if that makes sense... I'll diagram it.

New question (3)
 Third response
 Second response
 First response.
next oldest question
  etc.

I'm afraid I don't really know what inspires the board to sometimes add a third tier in a thread. Maybe someone else understands it better.

  My diagram didn't work, LOL.. So I'll test responding to my own post and see if it goes to a third tier.

Lets see if this adds on to your third one.
