For some odd reason, this isn't working for me on the Windows communication failure thread and it stubbornly keeps oldest post at the top. Have tried on a couple of other threads on the boards where it seems to work normally.

I think it now applies to all threads in the news area. Makes some sort of sense to keep the actual 'news' at the top, but

1) People may miss resolutions and updates posted later in the thread.
2) The 'Sort order' combo is still displayed, and now lies to you.
