Question

Can community members save their viewing default to newest replies first?

One of our community members has posted in our ideas board that it would be useful if  his preferred viewing of topics - which is newest replies first - can be saved.

He currently has to change the default each time he opens a topic.

I’m wondering - is this possibly a cookies question? That is, if he accepts all levels of cookies, will his default remain saved?

If not, I suppose I could raise this as a request.

Any thoughts anyone? Thanks!

Hey @m4rc - I don’t believe it’s possible right now to save this preference. We add a sort to the URL (so a browser bookmark would work, e.g. https://community.insided.com/welcome-12?sort=dateline.desc).

Hi @daniel.boon He would need to paste that to the URL for each section or topic?

Ah - I just noticed that the member wants this on the topic level rather than the category level, but yes the same principle applies @m4rc 

e.g. https://community.insided.com/moderating-content-79/how-to-filter-topics-advanced-filters-422?sort=dateline.desc#comments

There is no platform capability that enables a user to set this topic ordering by default - it’s something a user can choose on an individual topic level (and even then, the preference only applies whilst viewing/browsing through that topic - if you come back, the ordering is set back to the default).
