Forum Question: Sort Order for Discussions

I don't see a forum for discussions about the forums, and couldn't find a thread using search so I'm posting my question here.

I subscribe to a discussion ... when I get an email and click on the link, it takes me to the oldest post in the discussion rather than the newest ... since there are nine pages of replies, that means several clicks to get to the most recent posts. I don't see a way to specify sort order for posts (a common feature on forums) or to specify a sort order in my profile ... how can I go to a discussion and in a single click go to the most recent posts in the thread? If this isn't possible, is this a feature that might be enabled in the forums?
