(If you aren't a FaceBrick user, get it from extras-devel and try it out before voting, please. If you're interested, go read the main thread for FaceBrick)

Normally, developers of applications call the shots, sometimes through listening to their users part by part - I've decided to try something different (at least this once - maybe more): decision by consensus.

With that in mind, this thread - is to focus on discussion/voting about one particular UI choice I've made through the evolution of FaceBrick: that if the orientation of newsfeed UI. I will note *very* carefully that this vote (and reasoning) does not extend to comments: *if* that issue needs raising, please raise it on the main FaceBrick thread and help keep *this* thread centered on the UI issue outlined here, and on the vote.

Originally, like Facebook, I had newest posts at the top. I changed this to newest posts being at the bottom as I felt it was more natural in a number of ways: the position in the list acted as a bookmark of sorts, so the user could then scroll further down the list in order to read newer posts.

Some people have noted that this is not a natural decision, as Facebook newsfeeds are (unlike IM) full of information that we skim, rather than read in whole chunks, and have therefore suggested this. I don't wholly disagree with this reasoning, which is why I'm opening this issue to vote.

(In the interest of full disclosure, I'll note I may choose to totally disregard the results of this poll, but I will only do so if I am convinced that doing so would be in the best interests of FaceBrick and the user community at large. If I do so, I will explain my reasoning in full. Benevolent dictator, etc.)

Thanks (and please keep all conversation on-topic and relevant)
