you are posting in the incorrect area... I will move you again to the residential HVAC area... this question does not belong in the refrigeration area.

are you a student or are you wanting to discuss your home system?

It means you need training....no profile? Are you a technician? DIY'r? Filling out your profile lets us know at what level we should be explaining this to you.

I think the programmers set the default thread view to oldest first.

ADMIN or a programmer needs to change look into it.

I'll take a look JR but each user can set his own view.


Let me see if the IT guys messed with the settings.
