Front Page Messages Push Down, new posts on top?

Hi guys, just wondering if anybody know if there was a way to automatically make it so that when i post new front page messages, that they post at the top instead of the bottom, and push the old messages down. Thank you so much for your help Smile

Have you considered using the News module instead and make that your homepage?

Yeah, if that's the only way i could do that, messages just seem a bit cleaner to me (my posts are relatively simple, i don't really need the "Read more" option or comments or anything like that), also for some reason I'm having problems deleting news articles. I hit "delete" on them, but they seem to stay no matter what :/. But is that basically the only way to get it to stack like that?

actually, for some reason if i hit back on my web browser and delete it a second time for some reason, then it deletes ok, so yeah il just use the news option like you suggested. Ty for your time yet again jakec, i really appreciate it Smile

For this latest issue, if you have lines similar to the below, try changing them to reflect the following:

Code:




<IfModule mod_expires.c>


   ExpiresActive On


   # ExpiresDefault A86400


   ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 5 minutes"


   ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType text/plain "access plus 15 minutes"


   ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType video/x-flv "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month"


   ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 5 minutes"


   ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 5 minutes"


   ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 5 minutes"


  <FilesMatch "\.(php)$">


    ExpiresByType text/html "now"


  </FilesMatch>


</IfModule>

Then see if your News delete occurs with the first click.

You can change the behavior easily. Just check the administration and set
"Activate Comments in Articles?" to No
The read more link is not always visible its only there when you have an article with a next page.
