[TIP] Customize the Order You View Posts - See New Posts First
Mayo Clinic Connect’s community continues to be active and engaging. Members are connecting and the discussions have dozens and hundreds of messages.
You asked: How can I find the most recent posts?
This led to a reformatting of the discussion threads and how you can control the order to read them.
1. Sort by Newest to Oldest or vice versa
You can view the messages in chronological order (Oldest to Newest) or you can choose to see the most recent messages first by selecting Newest to Oldest.
Mobile view
2. Pages
Many discussions have multiple pages. You can skip to the last page or click any page in the discussion.
3. Reply to a message
If someone has replied to a specific message, you will see who they responded to and a snippet of the beginning of their message.
Click +show and you will be able to see the message that Rosemary is replying to.

or
– at the beginning if you are viewing Newest to Oldest
Good morning Colleen! @colleenyoung – the changes look great. I did find one bug (bad post or conversion?) when I clicked on an email notification. I sent you an email but here is the link to the post directly above the bad one that is all html coding.

Thanks, John. I've reported the issue to the tech team as well. This error is happening to posts that had images attached to them. It should be fixed today.
@johnbishop – the error has been corrected. You will now see uploaded images embedded directly in posts.
Thanks Colleen!
I posted 2 pictures, but only one posted. Is there a way to post the second picture to that same post?
@basslakeview I see both pictures in this post that you made: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/body-itching/?pg=6#comment-122236
I don't see the buttons on my mobile. One says "First, Next, Last" and other "Newest to Oldest." Am I in the wrong window? Right now I'm using Chrome and using a Note 8 phone. I have other internet apps I can use (Foxfire, a couple of VPNs, Google, and Samsung Internet).
Hi @basslakeview — I think you can post it directly under the post by clicking the reply button under your post and just adding there. I don't think Mentors or Moderators are able to edit a members post but I'm tagging Colleen @colleenyoung to see if there is a way to do it.

Oh, good. I couldn't see but one. Maybe I didn't wait long enough.
Thanks, John. She said it was there. I may not have waited long enough.
@basslakeview which button are you looking for?
I found it. So sorry.
