About the first thing, you can change the way threads are displayed at your options page in your userCP (

Look for this category under trade display options:
Open the dropdown and select "Linear - Newest First". There you go, new posts appear on the first page.
About your second point, assuming you're talking about the same options page in userCP, I agree that options could be cleaned up a little bit. Some options are also further explained in FAQ pages which are deleted as of now. A revision would indeed be a good idea, even if only to remove the redundant links and info.
