If my memory serves me correctly, on the old community prior to all the updates over the last couple of years. The most recent comments on a post were at the top of the page. When you clicked on the post it didn't start with the original post from way back months ago. It was the most recent comments first and if you wanted to go through the past pages to get to the original post or old comments then that was your choice. I find it frustrating that you see a post was commented on 2 hours ago but when you click on it, the original post is at the top. Regards Frank.
