Description

From #3177:

Boone: "We have some customizations that allow users to modify "posts per page" and "order" when viewing a topic. It should be possible to do the same in bbPress 2.x, but it'll need to be rewritten from scratch. We may decide that this particular task could be postponed if it's going to be a lot of work."

Ray: " I've always wanted to write a plugin that adds a bbPress forum settings page to a BP profile. This page will have settings such as sort order and pagination. Probably a good opportunity to do so."

I like the idea of creating a per-user setting that lets people decide how they'd like to view forums by default. But I don't think we should lose the per-thread, ad hoc settings - it's often only in certain situations that we want to, say, view by ASC rather than DESC.

Ray, I'm going to pass this over to you. I've added a number of other team members to chime in on what they do and don't like about the current implementation.

(I'll also note that, IMHO, this is a lower-priority forums feature. If we were pressed for time, we shouldn't let this one hold up a release.)
