It's a real shame. This is really a poor choice of software for an online forum. There's no way to add individual titles to your replies to a topic (Name/Date is not very informative!). There's no way to get all the messages in a topic at once (for those with a broadband connection, an option that says - show me everything in this topic at once - is a real timesaver!) Everything you try to do brings up a whole new web page. As an example of message boards that work well, I'd suggest taking a look at www.wheresgeorge.com and www.userfriendly.org. They are NOT model railroading message boards: hopefully the content there won't offend anybody who goes to look. My point is just that the way those boards work is much better than this one! Meanwhile, here is a trick I use to make this board work faster. From the top-level list of topics in a forum, I use the RIGHT-CLICK, "Open In New Window" selection in Internet Explorer to dive into a particular topic. That way, my browser keeps a copy of the topic list in the original window, so I don't have to hit the Back button and download it all over again when I'm done reading the topic. Hope this helps.
