If you do that, you'll invert the threading - 'show most recent posts on top' puts them in reverse order - last first and first last.

It is what the thread starter asked how to do. Since it doesn't affect how posts are arranged on your machine, why is it a concern?

Well, yes, but he also asked to be taken to his last read post, which I interpreted as his primary interest. This method doesn't to that - it takes you to the last post in the thread, but puts it first, in reverse order. If several posts have been made since the thread was last accessed, the last post read will still be buried in the middle somewhere, just closer to the top than the bottom.

I ended up reverting back to the normal post order. It turns out it was not the droid I was looking for.

As a 40-year old sometimes (mistakenly) accused of being a millennial, but who already has some gray beard hairs, I feel double triggered by this! :p

I feel your pain. Being lumped in with the generation Whyyyy’s although i fit in due to being born a few months late i feel a little cheated sometimes. I think I relate better to the Gen x’s ideology.
Its the only time I find myself telling the odd lie about my age 🤪.
I didn’t think Gen X’s where allowed to feel triggered. Isn’t that one of the defining traits of Gen Y?
