So I don't consider myself a novice at MySQL but this one has me stumped:

I have a message board and I want to pull a list of all the most recent posts grouped by the Thread ID.

Here's the table:

MB_Posts
-ID
-Thread_ID
-Created_On (timestamp)
-Creator_User (user_id)
-Subject
-Contents
-Edited (timestamp)
-Reported

I've tried many different things to keep it simple but I would like help from the community on this one.

Just to kick this out there...this one does not work as expected:

SELECT * FROM MB_Posts GROUP BY Thread_ID ORDER BY ID DESC
