JavaScript which alters page content on load is bad, because by 
the time it executes you might have already started reading the 
page. I think it's best to avoid such nuisances.

I think I'll just reverse the sorting of threads in the threaded 
view. Threads are already sorted differently than posts anyway 
(they're sorted by the time of the last reply, not by the 
original post's time).

The code would need a good refactoring to get the D hacks out. 
It's a bit of a mess in that regard.
