Ok, how do I change it, so when I click on a thread, the first post shows up on the top of the page? How it is when I look at it, is the first page (earliest posts) shows up as page one, but the posts start from the bottom and move up. Is there any way to change it so I view the first post on the top of the page, and the most recent posts on the bottom of the last page? How it is now is very confusing, and hard to follow, especially when reading mulit-page threads.

Is there a setting I can change?

Edit again...it seems to change how it is displayed in every thread. It is really confusing and hard to follow. I've got to believe there's an easier way to view it..is there some trick, or am I just stuck having to look and compare posting dates and times in every thread?

Edit: My bad..I posted this in the wrong spot. Can a moderator move it to the appropriate section for me? Thanks

It's OK to post this here...no need to move it. But to answer your question, you cannot change any settings so that you see older posts first. Once you've spent some time on the site, you'll probably find that you get used to reading it as it is currently set up. All of the threads should have the newest post at the top of the first page you view.
