help with thread settings

[tpar1220]

i am new to this forum but not new to forums in general. and most forums i am familiar with look basically same as this one(v bulletin).

but the way this one displays threads is weird. meaning the first post will be last post to view. hard to explain i guess.

for example, if a thread has 3 pages... when you open it you will see the last post on first page and first post on last page? so when i open a thread i have to go to last page and scroll to bottom to read first post?

i have never ran into this before and am hoping that it is a setting that i can correct... but can't seem to find it.
