Comment Section Posted Order
Hi! Thank you for making and managing this wonderful mod website. If you don't mind me suggesting, can you please make it so that the comments for mods can be shifted to most recent?

The oldest are the ones that show first, so for example, if I want to comment that a mod is broken, the person who is interested in downloading the mod has to go to the very last page/bottom of the comment section.

Attached is a screencap of how it shows up when I commented on the https://modthesims.info/d/624599/si...nds-faster.html mod that it doesn't work as of Version: 1.95.207.1030.

Thank you!

Hi there,

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem you have with both orders (newest first versus oldest first) is that after some comments *after* yours you end up losing it since it's up (or down) from the "latest".

One way we typically solve this is to simply put a "Changelog" in the description so people can see whats changed - not everybody actually reads/looks at the comments after all.

The site currently does show to downloaders if they haven't downloaded the latest version, but they'd need to look at the description to see what changed.

A couple of options that I've thought about to try and fix this are:

- Adding a CHANGELOG.txt to the archive will display a new tab (only for some sections like Programs & Utilities, see: https://modthesims.info/d/387006/si...8217-25892.html )
- Adding "Pinned" comments to the top of a comments thread (idea only, suffers from the issue that downloaders might not read comments)
- Adding the ability to mark a specific comment as a "Release" comment, which would then show up as a seperate tab (similar to the Unity Asset Store, https://assetstore.unity.com/packag...-63772#releases )

I'm partial to the 3rd one, since it would show up as a seperate tab and wouldn't be buried in the comments.

Story books are full of fairy tales, of Kings and Queens, and the bluest skies.
