If I visit this forum on the web and select a discussion to read, the

'Previous' link takes me to the next one and the 'Next' link takes me to the

previous one. This strikes me as illogical - or is there something I don't

understand?

    seemed to work ok for me... for example when i wrote this the next topic down the list was "RSS Feeds - <author> and <atom:author>" and the one above it was "New Forum FAQ"... that's what i got when i clicked next and previous from this discussion. that's what i'd expect.

    (note that the order of the threads in the forum may have changed before anyone reads this...)

    it was "New Forum FAQ"... that's what i got when i clicked next and previous

    from this discussion. that's what i'd expect.

    It's just the opposite of what I'd expect. There might be a US/UK difference:

    I can only understand 'previous' to mean 'earlier', in other words the 'next

    topic down the list' as you describe it. It would work for me if the order of

    threads was oldest at the top, the same as for posts on a discussion page.

    ???

    Previous is not active if I'm on the first page of the thread index.  Next takes me to the second page of said thread index, i.e. older discussions.

    Newest threads (discussions) are shown first.

    i think you're confusing being on the index page vs. being inside a thread ramon...

    dave,

    I understand that the thread index page is different from a thread page.  The OP is what's ambiguous.
