I'd like to suggest that threads be presented in reverse date order (latest post first).
This would avoid the need to page down to see the latest post in ongoing threads.
Of course, you'd then have to page down to see the orginal post, but my experience with other chat groups is that reverse date order works best for me.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this is more difficult than you might imagine; and I disagree about ease of use. ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
The standard phpBB forum software doesn't have this option. Most of the forums online appear to be based on the phpBB software - hence the common place spam attacks we had earlier until I came up with a cunning & unique solution.
Some things (eg. Newsgroups) I do read "first at the top" but even then, each thread is ordered, so the seed post is first and the replies below it. I don't think I've seen anything that really is truly reverse all the way through by default.
