Ken, not create more work for you, lol....but here is an idea:

I think the only thing that makes the difference between the 2 views is the ORDER clause in the SQL so perhaps the users preference could be stored in their profile and based on what they want the diary will show up one way or the other.

If it is done another way, then disregard.

Maybe its just because I have used the site so much in the last 5 yrs. But I do like the old way better. I would like to see it come back.

my favorite diary of last year was Erin's.

boom's diary kept me smiling all year.
so we either have to change it back the old way or have Erin write all of her diary post in reverse...

Dido from all the above,,,,because you have to scroll downwards to see what the plants ,looked like at the begining,,kinda weird .and as alot of you know ,,we date alot of this imformation,,as a learning tool.

Gotta disagree... I like the new order more. I hated when I needed to scroll all way down before I could see newest posts.. Now newest things are first.

But, I got to admit, that when reading diaries, its kinda weird to push the left side triangle mark to get forward.. so kinda push back to go forward.. lol

It always takes a while to get used to new things...

Anyway, thank you very much Ken, you do amazing job with diaries and this site!!!

I liked the old way, something that would be cool is if all users could post comments and questions under the pictures of other users and users would be notified via email that someone has posted a comment on there photos, just a thought :)

Either way, I just don't like (About the old way) having to scroll down for 5 minutes to see the latest posting. The post comments idea sounds like a good idea.

Ken does a great job with the site, Some of us dont like it because it is different.

Ken spends so much time (time that they could be doing other things) Why cant we give it a shot for a while?

I think we should give it a shot for awhile. I didn,t like it at first. But after looking and playing with it I decided change is good and this does work. You just have to give it time.

If a 62 year old grandpa can figure it out in a visit or two, then one would think an "IT GUY" could handle it. Sorry Tom! LOL

Boy we must have things pretty good when something like this gets us so stressed. In a million years I'd never have guessed that diary entry order would have caused folks this much grief.

Who MOVED my cheese?

If the user can set their own preferences that'd get my vote.

Wow, almost like a religous war. Of course I lose no matter what. So, I will put it back for now and add the option to reverse the sort order.

I dislike the new way. Please turn it back to the old way.....

What some people apparently don't know is if you hit the "END" key, it takes you right to the last entry, without having to scroll your way to the bottom. Paul

I did'nt know that, just use the end key to get to the bottom, thanks.

"Almost like a religious war." My thoughts, precisely. 25 impassioned responses in a single afternoon. Bordering on scary. Sorry to have put you through all the grief by suggesting the change, Ken! If we took all of this energy and spent it working out in the patch, we might actually grow some big pumpkins this year.

If it was possible to let users set their own preference it would be cool.
