The part of me that suffered through years of unthreaded USENET before someone finally invented trn weeps at the very asking of this question.

The rest of me poked around a little bit and determined that the answer appears to be no. There's a way to get the most recently updated threads to list first on the forum level, but once you're inside the threads, you have to look for the yellow icons. Not really seeing how that's "extremely annoying," but hey, if I knew of a way around it, I'd tell you anyway.

I mean, there's a way that I could turn off threading, but that would turn it off across the whole forum all the time, and I'm not gonna do that, because flat (or as you pronounce it, "normal") forums are weaksauce in my book. Once multiple subthreads get going, flat chronological display is just an express train to confusionville. NTY.
