I'm using below and I can not figure out how to properly show the newest threat first and keep the proper pagination order. I want the newest submissions to show on top and don't care about giving the user the option for ordering.
I'm using:
FireBoard 1.0.5 RC1
Joomla 1.5.6
and no CB installed

Well, I have played with this all night and I can confirm that this has to be a bug or development issue and not user error. From reading the prior posts I see that this has been an ongoing problem with fireboard.

This is the first time I'm trying this and I have to say this is an awesome application but unfortunately not being able to properly show the latest post first is a big problem as small as it may sound... Noone wants to drill down to the last page to read the latest.

This is what I'm experiencing, If you set the profile to pull the latest first then the first page will look fine but after generating multiple pages of posting all the other ones become out of order and screwed up.

If anyone has experienced this and has some input I certainly appreciate it.

What FB template do you use?

I'm using default_gray however I have tried all the other ones with the same results. If my topic has 3 pages when set on show lastest first, after clicking on the topic it jumps to the last page and everything is out of order, and also when click on the first page it does not return any results.

Here's what I've done so far with the same exact results:
1. Disabled SEF and sh404 no difference
2. removed 1.05 and installed FB 1.04 no difference

Every time you click on a subject it jumps to the last page with 1st page not accessible.

Ok I'm able to confirm this happens on a bare and clean installation of Joomla 1.5.6.
It works fine on older 1.0 version of Joomla

I don't know if it works, but please test this:

modify view.php (default template directory) at line 173 from

if ($idmatch > $limit) {

to

if ($idmatch >= $limit) {

No difference.

If I change line 173 to:
if ($idmatch < $limit) {
then I'm able to click on every page and starts to sort properly, but show oldest first does not work anymore, which in my case is fine.

This definitely shows where the problem is occurring, thanks for your help so far, hopefully the code can be correct to work properly...

I can reproduce it now... thank you for the info.
