Is there an option somewhere to allow the most recent activity to a threat to be shown at the top? I know I have the option to manually click on the last page, but then I have to scroll to the bottom to see the most recent activity. The ideal is to be able to click on the thread and it will automatically take me to the bottom of the last page, i.e. to the most recent activity. I usually check up on things daily so don't have to worry about missing stuff if I do this.
Go to your "User Control Panel" and find "options & settings". Then "Thread options" or something similar. There's a drop down menu there to change between oldest/newest first (and a couple of other options).

This may be what he's looking for.
If he sets his default thread display mode to "
linear newest first", threads will open with posts in reverse order; meaning with the last post being at the top of the first page (last post being the first post in thread). So, he would be reading posts in reverse order from newest to oldest.
How to:
Click on UserCp
Under Your Control Panel
Settings and Options
Edit Options
Scroll down to Thread Display Options
Reset your Thread Display Mode to "
Linear Newest First"
At the bottom of the page click "Save Changes"
If this turns out not to be what you wanted, go back and repeat the process with
Linear Oldest First (The standard setting)
