When browsing threads you have indicators for those threads with new posts. It would also be nice to have a link that would take you to the last post in the thread so that when you have been following a thread you can jump right to the last post.

Or view in the opposite order might do it, so that newest is on top.

Actually I like them in cronological order like they are now. I'm just used to using other BBS software that allows you to go straight to the last post.

The problem with going to the last post (and the advantage of the current system)
is that people tend to read the whole thread, rather than the question and the last answer. Hence less repeats of the same answer.
A link to last page would be useful, if you know the history of the thread, hence allowing you jump straight to the end.

While it might seem conventient, same as threaded discussions, I much prefer this "conversation" format. I know if I don't have time to read all the posts, then I tend not to post (an uninformed opinion).
